A Novelist on Novels

"A Novelist on Novels" by Walter Lionel George is a thought-provoking analysis of the modern novel and the public's understanding of novelists during the early 1900s. The book highlights the important role of novelists in literature and society. It starts with the author sharing a conversation with another writer, pointing out disagreements between critics and writers at the time. George argues against the common idea that novelists and their books are pointless, and he stresses how important novels are for mirroring humanity, molding society, and sparking new ideas. He challenges readers to think about the difficulties and mixed feelings that come with making and enjoying literature.
