'Murnane's innovative fictional techniques in Landscape
with Landscape have inspired debates regarding whether the text is a novel or a collection of stories. The cover of the Penguin edition uses the
terms "stories" and "fiction," but does not label the text either a novel or
a collection of short stories [...] In the last section of the work, 'Landscape with Artist,' Murnane's
narrator directly addresses the issue, stating, "I had considered again one of the problems that had kept me from
showing my manuscripts to a publisher. I tried to decide whether
they were a collection of short stories or whether I could combine
them and unify them to make them a single novel ... [I] told myself
that ... I would ... devise a new form of prose fiction - neither short
story nor novel."' (Nathanael O'Reilly Exploring Suburbia p.217)
