Sontag, S. Nathalie Sarraute and the Novel (Translated by Krotovskaya, N. G.)

Abstract: By analyzing Nathalie Sarraute’s fiction and journalistic writings, Susan Sontag suggests that there should be certain progress in art. Unlike other types and forms of art such as poetry, music, sculpture and fine arts, novel writing has been rather slow in development and is still the same as it was during XIX century. As an example, Susan Sontag analyzes novels written by Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf and other authors of the French “new novel”.


Keywords:

philology, art, modern age, evolution, novel, Sarraute, psychological analysis, reality, immersion, style.
