Can you give some examples of detour novels?

One example could be 'The Hunger Games' as a proxy novel for dystopian youth literature. It has all the elements like a totalitarian government, a fight for survival, and a young protagonist leading the resistance, which are typical in this genre.

Sure. 'Little Women' is a good example of a communion novel. The March sisters have a very strong bond among them. They communicate their joys, sorrows, dreams, and fears with each other. Their communion as sisters is central to the story. Also, 'The Lord of the Rings' can be considered one. The fellowship of the ring is all about different characters from different races coming together, having a shared mission, and their communion and cooperation are crucial for the journey.

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.

Sure. 'Cloud Atlas' by David Mitchell can be considered a recursion novel. It has multiple storylines that are connected in a recursive fashion. The stories are told in different time periods and in different styles, but they mirror and refer back to each other in various ways. Also, 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino is recursive as it has a structure where the reader is constantly thrown into different beginnings of stories that seem to be related in a self - referential, recursive manner.

Sure. 'Jane Eyre' can be considered a turnabout novel. Jane endures a lot of hardships and then suddenly inherits a fortune. Also, her relationship with Mr. Rochester has many twists and turns. Mr. Rochester, who seemed so self - assured, is later revealed to have his own dark secrets and insecurities. There's also 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. Scrooge is a miser but then has a complete turnabout in his attitude towards Christmas and people in general after the visitations by the spirits.

Yes. 'Finnegans Wake' by James Joyce is an example. It's a complex work full of references to languages, myths, and various cultural elements. 'Gravity's Rainbow' by Thomas Pynchon is also an encyclopedic novel. It includes knowledge about history, science, especially in relation to World War II and the post - war era. Also, 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel García Márquez has elements of encyclopedic knowledge. It gives insights into the history, family structures, and cultural traditions of the fictional town Macondo.

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.

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.

One example could be 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco. It delves into the history and origin of a medieval monastery, with all its secrets and knowledge. Another is 'The Da Vinci Code' which is centered around the provenance of certain religious artifacts and the mystery surrounding them.

There's 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding. This parable novel shows what can happen when a group of boys are left alone on an island without the constraints of society, exploring themes like civilization, savagery, and the inherent nature of humans. Also, 'Siddhartha' by Hermann Hesse is a parable - like novel that follows the spiritual journey of a man named Siddhartha in search of enlightenment, teaching readers about self - discovery and the path to inner peace.
