Book Synopsis

Friendship enables plots about rivalry, education, compassion, pity, deceit, betrayal, animosity, and breakup. It crosses boundaries of gender, class, nationality, disposition, race, age, and experience. The essays in Friendship and the Novel illustrate that friendship, in its many forms, is a central problem and abiding mystery in fiction.



Trade Review

“Friendship and the Novel is not just a pleasure to read; it is a well-argued and engagingly written book that opens up new insights into a variety of authors. Its cumulative effect is to demonstrate that friendship and the novel is such an important, indeed inevitable, topic that it leaves one surprised such a book did not already exist.” J. Russell Perkin, Saint Mary’s University and author of Politics and the British Novel in the 1970s
