Question

Why we study the Novel books?

Answer 1

Stories have been told for as long as we have been able to speak.  From the epic narratives of the Middle Ages to the latest 3D horror movies, the telling and retelling of stories is an important aspect of being human. The enduring appeal of the novel – which takes the reader into a parallel universe - has been boosted by the advent of digital readers and proved resilient in the face of the multiple distractions that bombard us.  Book groups flourish and creative writing courses have never been so popular. Just why we continue to be gripped by the make-believe is the subject of a panel discussion at the University of Cambridge Festival of Ideas on 31 October.

We asked four people questions about the reading and writing of fiction. Dr Sarah Burton is the Director of Creative Writing Master of Studies Course, University of Cambridge, a new programme run by the Institute of Continuing Education. Her latest book The Complete and Utter History of the World According to Samuel Stewart Aged 9 (Short Books) was published in September.  Trevor Byrne is author of the novel Ghosts and Lighting (Canongate) and many short stories and essays. He is also co-founder of Hyland & Byrne Editing Firm with author MJ Hyland. Both Byrne and Hyland will be taking part in the Festival of Ideas debate.  Dr Malachi McIntosh is a Fellow of King’s College. He is interested in representations of migrant and minority groups in contemporary Caribbean, British and American literature. Helen Taylor is a literature consultant. Her latest project, ‘Thresholds’, brought leading poets into Cambridge University museums to create new work and inspire young people and the wider community to engage with the collections.
