	Great Books Foundation: Age of Iron
		The novel takes the form of a letter she writes to her daughter, during the death throes of the apartheid system itself, in which she attempts to see clearly both the present and pieces of the past that she has chosen not to examine.
		Beyond her difficulty finding the proper words for confession, there is marked attention in the novel to the way in which the meaning of words has been lost or distorted.
		This novel's protagonist, born at midnight on the first day of India's independence, is telepathically connected to all of the other children born at the same hour in India, and his life is intricately interwoven with that of the newly reborn country.

	MiddleWeb \| Ellen Berg Diary
		Many quality young adult novels seem to be geared to one gender or another, and my current situation is no exception.
		It is the story of what happens to Cinderella after she moves to the palace and before she marries the prince.
		I want students to understand the general structure of a novel and to be able to recognize those elements in context because I think good readers use those structures subconsciously to help them define their expectations about what will happen next.

	A Confession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Confession is a short work on questions of religion by Leo Tolstoy.
		Consisting of autobiographical notes on the development of the author's belief, A Confession shows the process of searching for answers to the profound questions: "What will come of my life?" and "What is the meaning of life?", without answers to which life to him is impossible.
		Tolstoy shows different attempts to find answers on the examples of science, philosophy, eastern wisdom and the opinions of his fellow novelists.

	Coetzee AATSEEL98 Paper
		Rather than overt political critique or commentary (which many would have him write), it is the relationship between the individual, especially one in the process of trying to construct meaning, and the unacceptable world in which he or she lives that seems to be the most salient aspect of his work.
		In this mode, "its relation to history is self-evidently a secondary relation," and the novel is in effect colonized by the discourse of history (3).
		This type of novel employs "its own paradigms and myths, in the process (and here is the point at which true rivalry, even enmity, perhaps enters the picture) perhaps going so far as to show up the mythic status of history—in other words, demythologizing history" (3).

	Paula Woods' Review Of The Confession
		The confession causes Ferenc to spiral deeper into his own anger and paranoia, making him moody at times but also generous to other colleagues, most notably Leonek, whose mother has just died.
		With its palpable sense of regret and spent anger, the novel is also one man's chronicle of personal tragedy, the search for artistic freedom and the evils of totalitarianism.
		"The Confession" is a clever reworking of the police procedural: The narrative-within-a-narrative exposes multiple levels of complicity and guilt that make this an affecting, sobering entry in one of the most inventive series around.

	Falling Angels Book at Shop Ireland
		The novel is told through a number of first person narratives: each character's voice is immediately recognisable, as are the hopes, fears and prejudices through which each one's views are expressed.
		Although it is a historical novel, brought to life by interesting details such as the Victorian etiquette of mourning and brushes with decisive historical events, Falling Angels is, above all, a book about women.
		I definately recomend this novel to be one amongst your collection and not left long enough to gather cobwebs as mine almost did.

	Amazon.ca: The Final Confession of Mabel Stark: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Robert Hough's first novel, The Final Confession of Mabel Stark, is a gaudy tall tale of circus life that rollicks and rambles in equal measure.
		Based on the few facts known about Mabel Stark, history's greatest female tiger trainer, this novel spans some 60 years, from the protagonist's rough beginnings as a nurse in a Louisville, Kentucky, hospital to her fading years as an octogenarian cat trainer in a seedy wildlife theme park.
		Written by a finalist for the 2002 Commonwealth Writer Prize and the 2002 Trillium Award, The Final Confession Of Mabel Stark is the fictional autobiography of Mabel Stark, a female tiger trainer known as the "Mae West of tiger taming".

		There is a strong emphasis on the fact that both characters confess each other's secrets when they return from their journeys.
		Stella and Robert's symetrical confessions are rendered perfectly well in the film and emphasized thanks to elements that the novel did not quite possess such as the light or the music that palliate the reader's imagination.
		Maybe it is for the best that Robert is killed since after his confession, Stella could not love him as before, and her love has converted herself in a Cornelian struggle, ie passion versus duty and this struggle is solved through Robert's death.

		In principle, any genre could be included in the construction of the novel, and in fact it is difficult to find any genres that have not at some point been incorporated into a novel by someone.
		There exists in addition a special group of genres that play an especially significant role in structuring novels, sometimes by themselves even directly determining the structure of a novel as a whole Examples of such genres would be the confession, the diary, travel notes, biography, the personal letter and several others.
		All these genres may not only enter the novel as one of its essential structural components, but may also determine the form of the novel as a whole (the novel-confession, the novel-diary, the novel-in-letters, etc.).

	Dr. Anne Simpson's Author and Literature Links: Emile Zola
		Inspired in part by La comédie humaine (1842-1848; The Human Comedy, 1895-1900), a vast cycle of novels by French writer Honoré de Balzac, Zola then conceived of a series of 20 novels, Les Rougon-Macquart, which would relate the history of a single family during the reign of French Emperor Napoleon III (1852-1870).
		In his novels he introduced characters inspired by his research, studied their hereditary backgrounds (often familiar to readers of earlier novels in the cycle), and observed how their lives played out in their world.
		During the course of the novel the miners stage an unsuccessful strike and return to the pits, humiliated and desperate, and Lantier returns to the road that had brought him to the mining community.

		K confessed his secret love of the young lady, but sensei himself could not tell his own feeling to his friend.
		The loneliness, in connection with the ritual of confession, creates the inner self that can never be understood by others--thus, the essential loneliness of the subject.
		Sensei is attracted by the idea of death (suicide), when he realizes that even his wife, his most beloved and closest to him, cannot understand his inner consciousness, nor he can tell her why.

	[No title]
		Cixous’s provocative argument suggests that the confession is the ideal site to liberate female sexuality from phallocentric imprisonment: “let the priests tremble, we’re going to show them our sexts!” Notwithstanding, in Eça’s novel simply ‘speaking’ is not enough of a challenge to patriarchy or phallocentrism.
		On the contrary, Amélia’s confession will only momentarily constitute a deviation from the dominative forces of the urban priests who represent the dominant religious authority, and her initial art of deception backfires as she becomes the sole target of societal rejection.
		Deeply embedded in the rhetorical folds of the confession and duly emphasized throughout the novel is the hegemonic representation of gendered confessional relations.

	village voice > books > Russell Banks's The Darling by Joy Press
		The Darling reads like a confession—not a headlong, gushing confession but a hesitant and circuitous one that treats us with kid gloves, as if gently preparing us to witness a beheading.
		The boys remain barely sketched stick figures, as does her husband—her family is the dark, hard center of the novel, a clot that Banks never dissolves or resolves.
		This makes some sense if you look at the narrative from Hannah's perspective: She is trapped as a spectator in her own life, still in the process of unraveling her own denial.

	The Forgiveness of Sins
		We find confessing to a priest was accepted as part of the original deposit of faith handed down from the apostles.
		Few people have the gumption to place the "invention" of confession so late, since there is so much early Christian writing—a good portion of it one thousand or more years before that council—that refers to the practice of confession as something already long-established.
		Second, by confessing to a priest, the Catholic learns a lesson in humility, which is avoided when one confesses only through private prayer.

	Call Me Responsible
		Defying the conventions of revenge tragedy, Ben Kingsley's heartsick character in 'The Confession' demands he be held accountable for his bloody vengeance.
		When his 5-year-old son, Stevie, stricken with appendicitis, is refused treatment in the emergency ward of one hospital and dies in a cab on the way to another, not only will Fertig pass judgment on those who fail in their responsibility to help; he executes that judgment personally.
		In the novel, this meant seven dead bodies, including a rabbi; in the movie, it means three, hold the rabbi.

	THE CONFESSION OF JACK STRAW by Simone Zelitch, ISBN 0-930773-18-7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Confession of Jack Straw is both a political novel and literary novel of great style and humanity.
		Taking the form of a confession of one of the leaders of the English Peasant Revolt of 1381, the novel accompanies the peasants as they travel through southern England, gathering followers, opening prisons, killing lawyers and telling stories.
		The novel lets the reader stand at that crossroads of politics and mysticism and see 1776, 1848, 1917, Tianenmen Square--the same dream, the same betrayal.

	My Confession
		My Confession is the story of Samuel Chamberlain, a Boston boy who hoped to be a theological student but could not control his amorous and pugilistic inclinations and so left for the West.
		According to his "Confession," he seduced countless women in the U.S. and Mexico, never missed a fandango, fought gallantly against Mexican guerrillas, and rode with the 1st Dragoons into the Battle of Buena Vista.
		His remarkable story in My Confession is pure melodrama, but Goetzmann has proven by his painstaking research that much of it is true.

		But the confession of the title is in fact the subject of his next book-a jarring and pessimistic work about the fate of artists, indeed of all human beings, in the Soviet-haunted satellite countries, where work camps in the 1950s rival those of the Stalinist Soviet Union.
		Steinhauer's latest novel, The Confession, proves that his first critically acclaimed novel Bridge of Sighs was neither an accident nor a flash in the pan.
		As with all Chandler-type novels, the hero is an alienated individual seeking some kind of truth in a corrupt milieu.

		He was also able to continue the fiction writing that had been his pastime since boyhood.
		In 1865 he published his first novel, "Claude's Confession," a sordid semi-autobiographical tale that was condemned by the police and so disturbed the Hachette publishers that Zola decided to leave the firm to pursue his literary interests full-time.
		Zola's novels have had an immense impact on modern literature, from the existentialist novel and the "new novel" in France to the works of the "muckrakers" in the United States.

		By opening with a long epigraph from St. Augustine's Confessions (in the original Latin, no less), Clark's ambitious, atmospheric rumination on good, evil and the gray area in between announces intentions far loftier than those of the standard dime-store detective novels to which the book bears an intentional but superficial resemblance.
		Clark had won the Edgar award for the novel and was surprised to find out that it qualified as a mystery, but it was the setting that captured my attention.
		This novel is soaked in mystery, albeit most of it not of the superficial kind that litters most mysteries by, for example, Sandford, Grafton, Patterson, E. George.
