	Katharine Kerr's Home Page - Roman Fleuve
		Generally speaking, a roman fleuve covers several generations and several interrelated story lines; alternately, it may be a number of books set in the same mileu and featuring interrelated characters.
		Not all multi-volume works fit this mold, however, especially the type of novel that critics call the roman fleuve, a "watershed novel" or a "river basin" novel.
		Like a major river, these long novels receive many tributaries of plot and run in many channels.

	Welcome to Repairman Jack
		But it remains a single novel -- a =roman fleuve=, if you will.
		Nobody was going to publish that, so I broke it down into a trilogy and sold it that way.
		As a result, the first three novels of "The Adversary Cycle" -- THE KEEP, THE TOMB, and THE TOUCH -- all stand alone and can be read in any order, but all three should be read before the final 3 novels of the cycle which should be read in this order: REBORN, REPRISAL, NIGHTWORLD.

	Retour à Miranda - Michel braudeau
		L’année 2001 l’avait vu jouer assez habilement le VRP de son Interprétation des Singes, roman fleuve et poétique sur la chirurgie esthétique, la traite des blancs et l’amour fou, pour un résultat mitigé.
		Comme dans L’Interprétation des Singes, c’est ce pied là qui domine nettement Retour à Miranda, même si la construction romanesque de ce roman témoigne qu’il a bien fallu deux mains pour l’écrire, et un cerveau inspiré par des siècles de tradition romanesque à la française.
		Retour à Miranda est un roman brillant, élégant qui, sous des allures débonnaires, s’interroge sur ce qui fait son étoffe.

	ABSTRACTS From Paroles Gelées Volume 14.1
		Readers of A la recherche du temps perdu, Marcel Proust's roman-fleuve, encounter the same problems of perception, identity and time as we navigate a current that holds countless surprises for even its most seasoned travelers and that teems with enough flora and fauna to satisfy the most exacting naturalist.
		Il démontre le déploiement du regard dans les oeuvres de Diderot (le tableau esthétique), de Marivaux (le regard surpris ou la femme au miroir) et de Sade (le regard détourné), aussi bien que dans le roman libertin.
		A travers la dynamique du regard, le roman s'ouvre au lecteur qui participe activement dans la structuration de la narration.

		Après la lecture de ce bouquin qui comprend deux nouvelles et un roman, on peut comprendre ce qui s'est passé.
		Toutefois, il est difficile de juger du véritable talent de Quinn en se basant uniquement sur cette offrande des Éditions Fleuve Noir.
		J'espère que les Éditions Fleuve Noir nous reviendront avec un deuxième tome des aventures de Jules De Grandin et cette fois-ci, j'aimerais mieux si on se concentrait sur la publication de nouvelles, format idéal pour ce genre de compilation.

	Naguib Mahfouz - Children of the Alley
		Elsewhere, El-Enany argues that the book, though different in form from anything that preceded it, remains a roman fleuve like the Cairo Trilogy.
		Mahfouz was born in an old quarter of Cairo (Gamaliya) in 1911 and lived there until the age of 12, when his parents moved to a newer suburb; however, he achieved fame as the chroni-cler of the old neighborhoods of Cairo, and has credited the Cairene world as his inspiration.
		Mahfouz is highly sensitive to political events; e.g., he used the 1919 Egyptian revolution as the background for his Cairo Trilogy, and exhibited prolonged periods of creative stasis followed by new writing directions after both the 1952 revolution and the 1967 loss to Israel in the Six-Day War (Haydar and Beard 7).

	Cover Slugs
		The plot itself, although a cursory examination might make it look like a typical plot-coupon epic, is actually that of the roman fleuve.
		Although the plot is more than somewhat predictable, it remains serviceable, as the plot itself is less important to this kind of story than is the characters' various reactions to plot events.
		The plot is merely a mechanism to allow Liath to grow from an ignorant, bigoted girl into… well, that would be telling.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Seth, Vikram
		Vikram Seth's work is characterized by the innovative recuperation of “unfashionable” and “traditional” forms such as the realist roman-fleuve and the novel in verse.
		Such recuperation goes against the current of cross-pollination between genres and stylistic experimentalism which characterizes other writers like Salman Rushdie or Amitav Ghosh, to whom he is often compared.
		They are a very close family, and the Chatterji family of A Suitable Boy contains many characters similar to the Seths, including Vikram Seth himself, cast as the engagingly cynical poet Amit Chatterji, who is in the process of writing a thousand-page-long novel.

		Cho subsequently published the immensely popular ten-volume historical novel The Taebaek Mountains (Taebaek Sanmaek), which sold millions in Korea in the late 1980s and was successfully adapted into a film.
		Cho Chong-Rae's novella "Land of Exile" appeared in English translation in 1992.

	village voice > books > Jonathan Coe's The Closed Circle by Joy Press
		Coe has said he intended the novels to form a roman-fleuve, albeit with two decades of the characters' lives dropped between the banks of the two volumes.
		Both England and Coe's characters have abandoned the oversize, tempestuous dreams of youth and are coming to uneasy terms with a future that's lost its sheen.
		Named after a 1975 album by the whimsical prog-rock band Hatfield and the North, the novel followed a gang of bright private-school kids coming of age in provincial England, in the process brilliantly re-creating an era that feels as weirdly distant from us as the 1770s.

	The Observer Review Observer review: Pandora by Jilly Cooper
		One thing to know about the Cooper oeuvre is that it's possible to read her novels together as a grand roman fleuve: a tremendous orgy of some 5,000 pages' durance.
		The powerful desire that Jilly Cooper so clearly satisfies in the British people - she has now sold 11 million copies of her novels in this country alone - is the desire to see themselves as a bawdy, roistering, sexually guiltless race.
		It would be fruitless to summarise the plot of Pandora, Jilly Cooper's new novel, for the book is too long and the story too silly.

		On voit cette humble et sereine maison des champs, resserrée entre le fleuve et les montagnes, ouvrant ses croisées d’un côté sur la solitude mouvante des flots, de l’autre sur la solitude non moins agitée des bois.
		" Eugénie de Guérin ajoute ailleurs en parlant d’un roman: " J’y trouve un genre perfide: c’est de parler vertu, c’est de la mener sur le champ de bataille en épaulettes de capitaine, pour lui tirer, sous les yeux de Dieu, toutes les flèches de Cupidon.
		On dit que les femmes raisonnent moins avec leur tête qu’avec leur coeur: s’il en est ainsi de Laure Conan, elle raisonne mieux avec son coeur que bien des hommes avec leur tête.

	Proust regained by Daniel Mark Epstein
		Proust is an odd hero in twentieth-century literature, an anachronism, being at once a romantic, a Platonist, and an impressionist, an artificer of a baroque, old-fashioned roman-fleuve that is in so many ways the antithesis of streamlined modern art.
		Proust’s romantic sensibility naturally thrived upon the technique of using concrete figures—the madeleine, the bumble-bee and orchid, the seawaves—to stand for abstract realities such as the persistence of memory, generation and regeneration, and the soul’s journey.
		In Proust’s fiction we enjoy a pleasing counterpoint of romance and irony, humor and pathos, a balance of which Proust boasts, indirectly, in praising the sincerity of the baron: “How unfortunate it is that M. de Charlus is not a novelist or poet.

	No Country for Old Men
		Since the publication of The Miernik Dossier in 1973, McCarry has been writing a roman-fleuve, a recherche du temps perdu, where the past is recalled by treachery, deceit, and interrogation rather than a taste of madeleine.
		McCarry is the best modern writer on the subject of intrigue--by the breadth of Alan Furst, by the fathom of Eric Ambler, by any measure.
		By the beginning of the twenty-first century, all nine of McCarry's novels were out of print, and McCarry himself claimed to be retired.

		"Remembrance of Things Past" can be a difficult work to read, but it is so very much worth it.

	Roger Martin du Gard - Biography
		After the years of the First World War, which Martin du Gard spent almost entirely in the front lines, he devoted most of his time to the writing of the «roman-fleuve», Les Thibault, which culminates in the three volumes of L'Été 1914 [Summer 1914].
		Roger Martin du Gard (1881-1958) was born in Neuilly-sur-Seine, attended two of the finest Paris lycees and, in 1906, was graduated from the École des Chartes with a thesis on an archaeological subject and with the degree of archivist-paleographer.
		Martin du Gard's first success was the novel Jean Barois, published by his former school friend Gaston Gallimard in 1913.

		That Martin du Gard had recently finished a solid first draft of the seventh installment of The Thibaults, the roman-fleuve he'd been trickling out since 1922, should, one would think, have been a source of some comfort to him during his long convalescence.
		On New Year's Day 1931, the novelist Roger Martin du Gard (1881-1958) and his wife were seriously injured in a car crash, and they spent the next few months recuperating in a Le Mans hospital.
