<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
The parallel novel is a piece of literature written within, derived from, or taking place during, the framework of another work of fiction by the same or another author.[1] Parallel novels or “reimagined classics” are works of fiction that “borrow a character and fill in his story, mirror an ‘old’ plot, or blend the characters of one book with those of another.”[2] These stories further the works of already well known novels by focusing on a minor character and making him or her the major character. The revised stories may have the same setting and time frame and even the same characters.[2] These parallel stories can also be transformed into a parody, taking a comical spin on the literary classics.
