Abstract
The author credits much of the success he has had in teaching the novel to his adjustments to the "realities" of teaching. Is it realistic to teach the novel as if one's students are going to become English teachers? Is it realistic to teach a novel that is beyond the capacities of the students? Is it smart to plod through a novel, when the joy of reading a novel is in reading it at one's own pace? And what if the students expect worksheets? The author offers some tips, some "caveats," for creating the opportunity to have success in teaching the novel.
