The Novel (1991) is a novel written by American author James A. Michener.

A departure from Michener's better known historical fiction, The Novel is told from the viewpoints of four different characters involved in the life and work of a writer of historical novels based in a picturesque but fictional location named Grenzler, in rural Pennsylvania.[1]

There is much discussion of writing, not all of it in support of Michener's own style. Many story devices discussed by the characters are later used by Michener in this same story.
