- Title
Genre and Extravagance in the Novel: Lower Frequencies by Jed Rasula (review).
- Authors
Frank, Marcie
- Abstract
The article discusses Jed Rasula's book "Genre and Extravagance in the Novel: Lower Frequencies" and its analysis of Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" and the concept of lower frequencies in literature. Rasula explores the relationship between genre and the novel, arguing that while the novel can be generic, the greatest novels remain unique. He also examines the history of the graphic novel and its ties to modernism. The article critiques Rasula's approach, suggesting that it is limited to a modernist perspective and fails to acknowledge other scholarly work on the novel.
