How to Draw a Novel, by Martin Solares

May 19, 2016 Damian Tarnopolsky

I found this while googling "Novel Shapes" (as one does). It gives a lovely introduction to a challenging idea, the visualization of literary structure, mostly using the shapes of certain Mexican novels. There's much more to say here, when it comes to visualizing literary structure - we want to be able to see plot, character, word usage, points of view, and so on! - but Solares's work is a liberating start.
