What's your favorite novel that defies genre classification? Anonymous 2016-03-24 23:08:08 Post No. [Report]

Some of the greatest books ever written are the hardest to pin down to one genre. Are they science fiction? Fantasy? Mystery? Magical realism? Sometimes the best stories are the slipperiest in terms of labels. What's your favorite genre-defying novel of all time?

Please include a picture of the book cover or something else— and if the book cover doesn't include the title, please list that below. Thanks!

Genre is trivial classification of superficial elements.

Petersburg by Andrei Bely

I don't even understand what genre it belongs to. It has elements of science fiction, black humor, realism, is a political novel, has elements of magic realism, and is a commentary on Russian corruption.

It's really good.
