“How is Fiction Doing?” ''New York Times Book Review'', 14 December,<br />
3, 30. Several novelists, including<br />
John Barth, Joyce Carol Oates, Jayne<br />
Anne Phillips, and Scott Spencer<br />
join [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]] in prognosticating on<br />
the novel’s future. Mailer says<br />
that although the form is “cut<br />
off on one flank by film, and on<br />
the other by history (which has<br />
become more novelistic than<br />
the novel),” he predicts that<br />
novelists “will break out of our<br />
cysts, infiltrate other disciplines,<br />
inhabit new epistemological<br />
modes . . . and produce flowers<br />
never glimpsed before.”<br />
