The Puzzle Novel and Richard Powers' Prisoner's Dilemma

Original language description

This study seeks to establish a new type of novel: the "puzzle novel". It relies on the groundbreaking, and still valid, theories of the novel from Gyorg Lukács and Mikhail Bakhtin. The puzzle novel construct tries to provide a new direction for novel criticism: it should follow certain broad characteristics, but is open to more specific definition for certain analytical purposes. Just such a specific definition is provided to guide a particular reading of an excellent example of a puzzle novel, RichardPowers' Prisoner's Dilemma (1988). The general conclusion of the reading is that the novel highlights the question "who is the author?" on many different levels.
