🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

Prose narrative: a form of storytelling that employs continuous written language to depict characters and actions, forming the basis of the novel as a literary genre.

Fiction as a chameleon: a flexible and adaptable literary form that resists a single, clear-cut definition, offering endless possibilities to represent various aspects of life.

Modern reader: an individual who engages with books through silent reading, experiencing narratives privately, which fosters a personal and introspective mode of literary consumption.

Narrative forms (autobiographies, confessions, letters, journalism): diverse types of storytelling that emphasize interiority and factual description, contributing to the development of the novel's focus on individual experience.
