A challenge to the conventional view of the novel, arguing that instead of being an English invention (that is the received wisdom taught in schools and colleges), it is an older, more cosmopolitan creation which emerged from the ancient cultures of Africa, Asia and Europe.

The True Story of the Novel Reviews
'Rich, imaginative, subversive and playful' James Wood, Observer 'An elegant, learned and convincing book' Mary Beard, Independent 'Doody, vigorously, entertainingly and with great detailed learning, has invaluably extended the debate about fiction.' Malcolm Bradbury, Financial Times 'Doody's book is like a vast, all-embracing novel, packed with extraordinary sub-narratives and an engrossing storyline. It should be read by all who criticise fiction, and by many who write it.' Humphrey Carpenter, Sunday Times
