His status as a novelist is undeniable, but his second greatness is that he has written openly in his articles and interviews about the evaluation of the novel and its distinction from other disciplines.He has proven, through detailed and credible logical reasoning, that the novel is superior to all other academic disciplines in its identification and exploration of human existence.He distinguishes novel,s wisdom from non-novel wisdom in an argumentative manner.
