| 词条 | Parallel novel |
| 释义 |
A parallel novel is a piece of literature written within, derived from, or taking place during, the framework of another work of fiction by the same or another author.[1] Parallel novels or "reimagined classics" are works of fiction that "borrow a character and fill in his story, mirror an 'old' plot, or blend the characters of one book with those of another".[2] These stories further the works of already well-known novels by focusing on a minor character and making them the major character. The revised stories may have the same setting and time frame and even the same characters.[2] Goodreads.com maintains a list of its readers' ratings of the most popular parallel novels.[3] In 2018 the top five were: Captive,[4] Wide Sargasso Sea,[5] Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (a play, not a novel),[6] Telemachus and Homer,[7] and Descent.[8] Creating parallel novels can have significant legal implications when the copyright of the original author's work has not expired, and a later author makes a parallel novel derived from the original author's work.[9] See also
