E M FORSTER ON LOVE IN THE NOVEL.

E M FORSTER ON LOVE IN THE NOVEL. I recall vividly reading years ago in E M Forster’s ASPECTS OF THE NOVEL that love and sex received disproportionate attention in novels. James Franco summarizes some of Forster’s points here and says: “But we know when we reflect on our own experiences that love does not play such a dominant role in life. Forster grants that two hours a day, at most, are spent on the actual physical application of love.”
