What is a novel

It is now applied to a wide variety of writings whose only common attribute is that they are extended pieces of prose fiction. The length of novels varies greatly and it is much debated. It is generally agreed that a novel should be between 60-70,000 words.

A novel may be tragic or comic. It may be general or regional, physiological or social, picaresque or social, epistolary or non-fictional.
