   Jun 25, 2020 · Rather than hunting for less embarrassing ways to stabilize it, we might define the novel of ideas precisely by its intimate relation to the gimmick form.

   What makes a novel of ideas a gimmick?

   • Moreover, as a genre in which storytelling strains to accommodate synchronic concepts—inverting Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, in which philosophy rediscovers its reliance on diachronicity, narration, and a kind of free indirect style—the novel of ideas recalls one of gimmick’s fundamental features: its appearance of “working too hard.”

   What is the story/discourse relationship in the novel of ideas?

   • Arguably the essence of narrative, the story/discourse relation underscores Lukács’s account of the novel as a “dialectic of form giving and mimesis, where form demands immanence and the world mimetically transcribed resists form.” But the novel of ideas throws a wrench in this dialectic.

   • In an enactment of this problem, Lionel Trilling’s essays show him wavering between treating the “novel of ideas” as exception and norm: at times as an emerging form endemic to late twentieth-century “mass-ideological” society; at others as a synonym for the novel per usual, rooted in class conflict since the dawn of the nineteenth century.
