	Novel - LoveToKnow 1911
		The plain and direct purpose of the novel is to amuse by a succession of scenes painted from nature, and by a thread of emotional narrative.
		But the novel adapts itself to so large a range of readers, and covers so vast a ground in the imitation of life, that it is the unique branch of literature which may be cultivated without any real distinction or skill, and yet for the moment may exercise a powerful purpose.
		Of the novels of Giovanni Brevio (1480?- 1;.

		Novels such as Defoe’s that use historical settings for fictional characters are distinguished from historical novels that attempt to describe the inner lives of historical figures.
		The novel is experimental in that it is not a tale of identifying the killers—they have openly announced their intentions—but is instead a description of how and why the bystanders and participants handle their parts in the crime.
		The subject matter of the early novels reflected the concerns of society in general, including the emergence of the middle class as a social group, the questioning of traditional religious and moral values, curiosity about science and philosophy, and an appetite for exploration and discovery.

		The second part of the novel is about his punishment in prison where, through the help of Sonia, a religious prostitute who has fallen in love with him, he is rehabilitated.
		In American novels, social class tends to play less of a part than the section of the county someone comes from and their ethnic origin.
		You may also be able to understand the multitude of reason so many novels, and movies, fall short of their promise.

		In examining the reactions toward a voiceless, faceless soldier, Heller symbolizes the variety of reactions of people in real life toward their unknown soldiers--as they do in Catch-22, most people ignore the unknown soldiers, but it is the few that notice them that are significant.
		Mudd was the unknown soldier who never had a chance, for that was the only thing anyone ever did know about all the unknown soldiers-they never really had a chance.
		Heller connects these unknown soldiers with not just the soldiers but with all his contemporaries (the simple conforming to the idealistic 1950's standards reverberates even today) leading to a loss of individuality by government endorsement of "ideal" social roles, especially in the nuclear family.

		Her entrance in the realm of novel was announced in 1993 with the publication of Urukku (The Restless) and fortunately her first novel brought her an important literary award.
		In her first novel she had used the element of shock very often but the whole delineation of the story was not that of the magic realist.

	The Salon Interview \| Tobias Wolff, page 2
		I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels.
		A novel invites digression and a little relaxation of the grip because a reader can't endure being held that tightly in hand for so long a time.
		I'm reading a wonderful novel now by an Irish writer, Colm Toibin, called "The Heather Blazing." What's that great line in "The Death of Ivan Ilych" — Ivan Ilych's life was most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible — and that's the sense you get from this book.

	With 'Heroes, 'Turow makes his case as a war novelist - The Boston Globe
		It's a common scene, almost a cliche in novels and movies, and readers will probably feel simultaneously drawn in and distanced by its predictability, as Stewart's mother chooses a casket ''big enough to require a hood...
		And it instantly establishes Turow as a nuanced observer of human beings and the landscapes of their personal dramas, including an instinct for conveying the essential details that turn a novel into a living organism.
		The war scenes are remarkable for their newness, almost impossible, I would have thought, in a novel about perhaps the most written-about war ever fought.

		It is as if Tolstoi's great novel were focused on the effect of towering historical events on the poor and the powerless and the dispossessed --- people enmeshed in an historical progression over which they have no control.

		The realistic view of the Finnish soldiers was attacked by critics - Linna tried to see the war from the viewpoint of the enlisted man, using dialect, humour, and portraying soldiers without unostentatious heroism.
		The Unknown Soldier follows the war of a group of men, a single platoon, from the summer offensive of 1941 to the bloody retreat from the eastern Finland, Carelia, in 1944.

	Graphic novel review - Unknown Soldier - Ennis, Plunkett
		In one we follow the initially whiter-than-white CIA agent William Clyde as he attempts to uncover the truth behind the eponymous soldier, helped by information that is drip fed to him by an anonymous source.
		The Unknown Soldier's bandaged features are the result of some World War II action but it would have been nice, by the end of the book, to know more about the man hidden behind them.
		The Unkown Soldier is a DC character of old though it's doubtful that going back in comic history would yield any fruitful information on what makes this particular incarnation tick.

	The Unknown Soldier
		In the military, soldiers are subjected to daily harangues from superior officers about their mission, their duty, and their willingness to die for a cause.
		But Eric Martel, a soldier in the CIA’s war on terrorism, believes that it’s more important to have a willingness to kill for a cause.
		It seems like a valid position, yet unlike the soldiers returning from a victorious military campaign, there will never be a brass band at the airport when he arrives home, or any medals presented by the President in front of a clamoring news media.

		The Pentagon's ultimate undercover operative, after visiting Dachau during its liberation at the end of WWII, the Unknown Soldier became convinced that any act of violence performed in his relentless mission to protect national security was justified by the even more heinous atrocities committed by other nations.
		Unknown Soldier is a very suspensful mystery with lots of action.
		But Unknown Soldier suffered from severe gaps in logic, in particular in the motivations and actions of its hero, the CIA agent who begins a hunt for the legendary Army Intelligence operative, the Unknown Soldier, and for me at least, was a disappointing read.

	Literary Encyclopedia: The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Graham Greene calls The Good Soldier “probably one of the finest novels of our century”; to Max Saunders, it is Ford Madox Ford's “masterpiece”, the novel that proves that the period of literary modernism is as much Ford Madox Ford's era as it is Pound's, or Eliot's, or Joyce's.
		The second choice of The Good Soldier was one that Ford Madox Ford insisted ever afterward he had only mentioned as an ironic jest, out of disgust for the sensibilities of a society that had only room for one kind of response to the disjunction and fragmentation of the modern world.
		The only suspicion that things were not of their ordinary train was that the night before the parting P- said to me: “I wish you'd drive to the station with us to-morrow morning.” He was, in short, afraid of a “scene”.
