What Counts as a Novel Anymore?

Rethinking Form, Fiction, and the Fractal Page

By Andrea ChavezPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Somewhere between poetry and parable is the bleed into the margins.

The Brash and Plum by Ashlan Chidester is one of those strange paradoxes. If anything, this book reminded me that literature is still wild. Understanding is not a prerequisite for the wisp and meander, as the author would exhale in stale, I am sure.
