Can you give some examples of sideways novels?

One example could be 'Gone Girl'. In this novel, the plot keeps taking unexpected turns. The characters' true natures are gradually revealed in a way that completely overturns the reader's initial assumptions. Another example is 'The Sixth Sense', which was also made into a movie. The big 'ambush' in this story is the revelation at the end that completely changes the way you view the whole narrative.

Sure. 'Middlemarch' by George Eliot is a great example. It has a large cast of characters and explores various aspects of society in a very detailed way. Another one is 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez. It spans generations and has a very rich, complex narrative that touches on many themes. 'The Brothers Karamazov' by Fyodor Dostoevsky also fits the bill, with its deep exploration of morality, family, and faith.

I'm not sure of specific novels that are officially named 'burst novels'. However, some novels that were written very quickly and had a big impact could potentially be considered in this category. For example, 'The Catcher in the Rye' was written in a relatively short time and burst onto the literary scene with its unique voice.

One example could be 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath. It is semi - autobiographical and delves deep into the author's own mental state and personal experiences, which gives it a sense of privacy.

One example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield often acts on impulse, like suddenly deciding to leave school and wander around New York City.

Some people might consider James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake' as having elements of a carousel novel. Its complex language and circular narrative, where the end seems to lead back to the beginning in some way, can be seen as similar to the idea of a carousel. The story seems to flow in a way that defies a straightforward linear progression, much like the circular motion of a carousel.

In the 'Harry Potter' series, 'The Goblet of Fire' can be seen as a bit of a bridge novel. It starts to introduce more complex themes and darker elements that are further explored in the later books. It also shows the characters growing up and facing new challenges that set the stage for the more dangerous situations in the following novels. Another example might be some of the middle books in the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, like 'A Clash of Kings'. It continues the story from 'A Game of Thrones' and sets up the events for the subsequent books, with new characters emerging and the political situation becoming more convoluted.

One example could be 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins. At the start, we are introduced to Katniss's life in District 12 which is tough but relatively stable. As the story progresses, she gets drawn into the Hunger Games, and the danger, challenges, and emotional turmoil keep increasing until the final showdown in the arena. Another is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee. The story gradually builds up the tension around the trial of Tom Robinson, with the children's understanding of the unjust world around them also crescendoing.

There's 'Cloud Atlas' which is a very complex cross novel. It not only crosses different time periods from the 19th century to a post - apocalyptic future, but also crosses different genres. It has elements of mystery, adventure, and science fiction. The structure of the book is also quite unique, with six different storylines that are interconnected in various ways, making it a prime example of a cross - genre and cross - time period cross novel.

Sure. 'Macbeth' can be considered a complicit novel. Lady Macbeth is complicit in the murder of King Duncan, and Macbeth himself is complicit in the power - hungry and violent acts that follow. Also, in 'The Scarlet Letter', many of the townspeople are complicit in the public shaming of Hester Prynne, which reveals the hypocrisy and moral complicity within the community.
