	New Left Review - Sabry Hafez: The Novel, Politics and Islam
		Politically, too, since the struggle for independence from Britain needed to speak the language of the occupiers, its leaders came without exception from the modern educational system.
		Pronouncing the author of the novel (and even his father) âsinful, obscene, lewd, impertinent apostatesâ, and the Ministry of Culture âthe instrument of Satan in the land of the Azhar and Saladinâ, âAbbas demanded no less than the immediate resignation of the Minister and the âdemolition of the Ministry with all its organizationsâ.
		In Algeria the novel Sayyidat al-Maqam (The Hostess) by Wasinin al-Aâraj was likewise proscribed for impiety.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Books Supplement \| The novel: a homeland and a passion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		I came to the novel as a refugee, almost certain that this was a whim, a brief respite after which I would return, once again, to politics, to changing the world.
		Even the desire to change the world is conditioned by it, for one of its criteria is that the novel should exist, that it should be sound, and that the world should be discovered and understood anew through the novel as a prelude to effecting change.
		It is no secret that every new novel is more difficult than the one before it, constituting a greater challenge to the novelist and the endeavour of fiction-writing because the process of searching for and discarding material calls for a great deal of experience and exertion.

	Politics - Adam Thirlwell
		Politics is about relationships, but over the course of his story author Thirlwell likes to offer insights drawn from the political (especially the Soviet experiment).
		Politics, clearly, is inescapable -- and Thirlwell shows it is, as all interpersonal relationships of any other sort are too, fraught with misunderstandings and complications and dependent on whims, sacrifices, and philosophical and moral choices.
		Politics is the story of a father and a daughter: Papa ("the benevolent angel of this story") and Nana.

	"Why Americans can't write political fiction." by Christopher Lehmann
		In 1984, the political novel's most famous modern exemplar, Orwell reckoned with the most decisive forces loose in the modern world: not merely the rise of totalitarian political regimes, but also the triumph of a depersonalized mass culture, the humorless bureaucratized workplace, and the abolition of historical memory.
		The novel proceeds along a simple narrative arc: Ratcliffe's courtship of Lee is gradually requited and ripens just as his true nature is exposed in the revelation that he took a major bribe from a trans-Atlantic cable firm.
		As political animals, they're accustomed to honoring few clear distinctions between their messy, conflicted, adulterous, and boozy lives and their obligations to the public weal, and so they are not in the business of sacrificing one for the sake of the other.

	"JAST 7 Nyman"
		Thus, when the novel’s characters attempt to re-define their relation with their nation(s) and to construct a new identity based on a politically critical stance, this re-construction should be seen in a larger cultural context in which it may be connected with the ideological construction of the US national identity of the period.
		Though critical towards expansionist politics, the novel remains loyal to the traditional ideologies of nation, gender, and race, which are supported and exploited by the (neo)conservative government.
		In the case of Leonard’s novel, this means that by humanizing the criminal and dehumanizing the official, it criticizes the legitimation of imperialist politics and the role of the United States as a “vanguard” of democracy.

	Amazon.de: Primary Colors. A Novel Of Politics: English Books: Anonymus,Joe Klein (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Throughout the book, the attention to physical and emotional detail in the draining political process, the sparkling intelligence and-through the use of Henry as hero-the unusual empathy with which a range of African Americans are portrayed suggest a very considerable new novelist.
		Primary Colors is supposed to be a novel of politics, but it also creates interesting characters and a wonderful story about choosing right from wrong, and love over a career.
		It was a novel approach to take the perspective of an idealistic campaigning lawyer drafted in to help with the Stanton bid; someone steeped in the political process and 'how to,' but who had rarely been exposed to the murkier sets of compromises and deals which candidates and their teams engage in.

	Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics. - book reviews Insight on the News - Find Articles
		Primary Colors is a first-rate comic novel and a shrewd study of the weird appeal of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
		In fact, as long as the novel stick to the 1992 format, it succeeds dazzlingly The jargon and atmosphere of the campaign trail -- where reporters are referred to as "scorps," short for scorpions -- is brilliantly captured, a is the adrenaline-fueled, sleepless frenzy of an election countdown.
		For Washingtonians, the appeal of the novel may lie in its description of their way of life -- incestuous, self-perpetuating, morally numbing -- one that, despite protestations to the contrary, many have come to thrive on and privately celebrate.

	a novel attempt: politics and threats
		Trixyz was startled out of her thoughts about political schemes by a vid screen popping up in the corner of her window.
		As Mir and Puja and Garret finally found their way to the entrance of the midway, Mir noticed that not all of the posters on the wall were related to the amusement park.
		There were political posters as well, sporting slogans like "Support your local management." and "Discover freedom through rebellion." and "everlasting life, you don’t have to wait till death to get it." It was hard to tell which signs were supporting the recent revolution, and which were supporting the company that called Eternal Life Services.

	Novel Politics
		Only novels, I think, can readably account (apologize) for this frantic, fervent U.S. election, smelling of nasty national division if not under-the-breath civil war.
		Look closely as they shed their tattered Etonian jackets and ties to don skins and war paint, and you may recognize much of America circa 2001-04, marooned at home and abroad in a bewildering mix of power and powerlessness, global integration and provincialism, dizzying change and stolid ignorance, inevitable secularization and desperate sectarianism.
		In Pachett's novel, and sometimes in politics, there is in the very end a kind of redemption, or at least respite from the madness.

	Return Of The Gods Web Site--Home, Conservative Intelligence Center
		It is America in the 1990s, with the mainstream media in the throes of a "politically correct" mythology, as the Welfare State breaks down under the weight of entitlements, and chaos and revolution appear inevitable.
		The novel is an ambitious attempt to synthesize the ethos of 19th Century American Conservatism with primal instincts, instilled by the Creator at the very inception of mankind, and with the needs of the 21st Century.
		In political economics, there has been an over two generation pursuit of a collective "solution" to the effects of poverty via a Welfare system, which ignores what actually works in the human condition, even as it ignores much of what actually causes individual failure.

	Dalkey Archive Press: Interview with Claude Simon
		Personally, this kind of novel has always produced in me a boredom only attenuated by the descriptive passages (and this is something I experience more and more).
		If, therefore, your novels are "practically autobiographical," we have to understand at the same time that they in no way constitute acts of self-revelation, and that your aim is not to "confess yourself" to your readers, nor to explain yourself, let alone give your opinion on this or that subject.
		There is nevertheless in your novels a strong element of plot, even what appears sometimes to be an element of parody of the detective story, and this has repercussions upon what the reader guesses to be the underlying auto biographical story.

	Adam Thirlwell : Politics : Book review
		Throughout the novel, as Nana's bond with Moshe strengthens, so does her bond with Anjali.
		Maybe your definition of a holiday is to rent a small flat furnished with a wicker coffee table and a collection of Mills and Boon novels, and have sex with at least one boy a day.
		However, even with these few flaws, Thirlwell's novel is one of the most original works that I have recently read and I can see the reasons why Thirlwell was placed on Granta's 2003 list of Best Young British Writers under 40.

	socialism and democracy
		This connection between politics and literature expressed itself not only in the many socially oriented novels, stories and poems published at the time, but also in the critical discussions which developed in response to these literary texts.
		Thus, the omniscient form of the classical realist novel was being superseded by the subjective view of the modernist observer¾a new and more fragmented narrative where everything is relative and which reflected the growing alienation of the individual author.
		In the 1930s, when the political attacks of fascism threatened to destroy all that was left of democratic culture, the merging of these spheres could be promoted as a necessary act of cultural resistance.

	Demo - novel - review - New Statesman
		As the novel opens she is about to leave her sturdy, working-class parents to take the bus to an anti-war, anti-globalisation demo in Florence, with her brother Danny.
		The rest of the novel follows their progress, through the eyes of the two women, as they bump into each other in various flats, cafes and anti-Bush'n'Blair demonstrations.
		If it wasn't for the Politics, with a capital P, this novel could perhaps have been made to work; Miller could have focussed more on making the characters believable, and on telling a story led by them rather than imposed onto them.

	Get Out of Here, Curse You. Saddam's "novel" - Sean Hannity Discussion
		"The novel is dated to the times of ancient tribal society but the tribal warfare depicted in the novel is strikingly similar to what happened and is happening in the Iraqi war -- totally," Hirata told Reuters before the book's release.
		Saddam, now on trial for war crimes, was credited with writing several other novels but Iraqi writers and intellectuals said after his overthrow the books were written by a committee.
		Hirata believes the current novel, issued in a cover patterned with violets, was written by Saddam and has a melodic clarity to it that suggests it could be adapted to the stage.

	DOLHENTY ARCHIVE: Book Review - The Politics of Meaning
		Anyway, the novel is a satire on contemporary American politics and a good one at that, guaranteed to tickle your funny-bone.
		Leslie, a lawyer with the law firm of Rosewater, is the brains behind the political intrigue and Jim, who by dubious means keeps getting elected to higher and higher office, is the bumbling instrument she uses to achieve political power.
		Leslie Rhodes is the most powerful character in the novel and gives expression to that old saying once part of an advertising campaign: "You've come a long way, baby!" Her rationalizations for what most of us would consider amoral behavior are no surprise to those of us who continuously scrutinize the political scene.

	ZNet \|Culture \| A Few Notes on the Literary Establishment
		As political consciousness and knowledge grow more prevalent in the broad culture, leading literary stars lag behind, as does much of the literary establishment (as journalist and filmmaker John Pilger has noted in a series of articles).
		Newmanâs novel is a much needed counter-example and corrective to the dominant degraded apolitical and anti-political and otherwise regressive ethos and beliefs that prevail within establishment literary circles.
		These are some of the large-scale, direct, social and political effects which have been ascribed to certain exceptional novels and other works of fiction over the last two hundred years or so.

		His first novel, The City of the Dogs, was a brutal slab of naturalism about life and violent death at a Peruvian military school for problem youth—a place not unlike the institution Vargas Llosa attended in the early 1950s.
		Cynical political hacks are failed Communists and newspapermen are often failed poets who have difficulty with the fundamentals of news writing.
		The novel's title does not refer to the church, which the author oddly does not deal with, but to a Lima bar and brothel called the Cathedral.

	War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Search, Read, Study, Discuss.
		War and Peace is primarily concerned with the histories of five aristocratic families--particularly the Bezukhovs, the Bolkonskys, and the Rostovs--the members of which are portrayed against a vivid background of Russian social life during the war against Napoleon (1805-14).
		The novel also sets forth a theory of history, concluding that there is a minimum of free choice; all is ruled by an inexorable historical determinism
		Theres no doubt that War and Peace is one of the greatest novels had ever written in the world literature,because -I think -that beside the importance of the historical events included in the novel, its riched with such a marvelous characters.

		Senator Frist assures us that the limitation to the Rule he has threatened will not be extended to consideration of legislation; but once he’s pressed the button, neither Senator Frist nor anyone else will be able to predict the pattern of its fallout.
		However large a place judicial appointments may occupy in the present political landscape, it is not hard to imagine other political issues arising in the future where an impatient majority might make a convincing case that action is urgent, and that antique notions of Senatorial restraint and deliberation should be set aside.
		By their actions today, the Republicans will have legitimated the practice of a simple majority can cut off debate, and the precedent they are threatening to create will be a powerful argument for doing so.

		After six years as a congressional aide, Henry Burton was sick of "politics as usual." He was tired of counting heads, negotiating deals, and fighting over insignificant things.
		One of the opening paragraphs explains the mechanics of that indispensable political technique, the handshake; another describes the traits of what Burton calls aerobic listening, "as if he were hearing quicker than you can get the words out, as if he were sucking the information out of you."
		This is one novel that actually delivers what the jacket blurbs promise.
