“I would go so far as to say that
the natural, proper, fitting shape of the novel
might be that of a sack, a bag.
A book holds words. Words hold things.
They bear meanings.
A novel is a medicine bundle, holding things in a particular,
powerful relation to one another and to us.”
-Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction”
