“Folk-lore means that the soul is sane, but that the universe is wild and full of marvels. Realism means that the world is dull and full of routine, but that the soul is sick and screaming. The problem of the fairy tale is: what will a healthy man do with a fantastic world? The problems of the modern novel is: what will a madman do with a dull world?

In the modern novels the hero is mad before the book begins, and suffers from the harsh steadiness and cruel sanity of the cosmos.” MenWorldMeanDoeBookSoulProblemSufferingUniverseNovelModernHeroHealthySickMadFolksTalesFantasticFairyDullCosmosRoutineSanityFairy TaleSaneRealismHarshMadmenSteadinessModern Novel Author:Gilbert K.
