Can you please answer this question with some evidence in one or two paragraphs? Question; how Saunders explores the difficulty and contradictions of the American experiment – a society based on collective self rule – via the difficulties of writing a democratic novel – a book based on collective storytelling. Is there a solution? Is it possible? Can the rabble narrate itself? Or is even the democratic novel doomed – as is democracy – to racial, gendered and classed hierarchies? Be sure to quote directly from the text. Pay attention to the formal devices Saunders uses - the ‘voices’ of the ghosts, the historical citations that become increasingly less ‘historical’ and more akin to Lincoln’s personal monologue as the novel progresses. You can also pay attention to how the novel/voices develop over the course of the book. Does anything fundamentally change from beginning to end? Are we trapped in a loop, a contradiction, with no way out? Please give some points out as (thesis) in one of the paragraphs Thank you so much
