Putting the Novel under a Microscope
A great analysis of the novel as a writing form. Doesn't tell you how to write, but tells what your ultimate product should aspire to be. It looks at the novel from (surprise!) 13 different angles. Also has a synopsis of each of the one hundred books she considers to have been conceptual landmarks. Entertaining and interesting. As an author, I found it very useful.
