Reviews
"This book . . will be welcomed by students seeking to impose some order and definition on the increasingly impenetrable output of the postmodernists now flowing into the literary marketplace. With its sensible analysis and its ordered categories of the characteristics of 'self-conscious' fiction, it provides a guide of sorts through the jungle. . . . The book, in its range and conception, is extremely useful to students of the novel."
---
"Stonehill's book is for readers who read and like fiction, even for writers who like fiction, all of whom, if they like good criticism, might well start with The Self-Conscious Novel-literate, informed, and respectful of all readers."
