Plural of antinov Novel; works of fiction written in a style that deliberately rejects traditional novelistic conventions, often featuring fragmented narratives or rejecting plot.
Plural form of antinov Novel. In 20th-century literary theory (especially associated with French writers like Robbe-Grillet), the 'anti-novel' became a deliberate artistic movement rejecting conventional storytelling—the term inverted its meaning from 'works against novels' to 'novels against convention.'
It's wild that 'antinov Novel' flipped meanings—what started as criticism of novels became a prestigious literary movement! Writers like Samuel Beckett created 'antinovels' that are now studied in universities as masterpieces.
