Asked to explain "Why the novel matters", my first question is: "Well, does it?" As soon as I typed that sentence, I then thought that the second logical question would probably have to be "Has it?" But, after typing that, I opened my browser and went to look at the news because I was a little concerned that tanks might be rolling down the Mall in order to disperse pro-democracy protesters. After all, it was 10 September and the night before Boris Johnson had prorogued parliament - illegally as it later turned out - so I, along with plenty of others, was feeling rather like the chair had just been kicked out from under the feet of this country's democracy. I feared, because this had been allowed to happen, we were on the way to a future in which anything might become possible.
