No Adam in Eden | Techniques
Metalious' last novel received very few reviews, and those it did get were for the most part negative. One of the things the reviewers pointed out with frequency was the lack of structure and general looseness of the book. It did not really seem to have a plot. In many ways its lack of a conventional plot makes No Adam in Eden an interesting work. It is as though in her foundering, in her desperation to create another book, Metalious fell back on a highly elusive style, one totally foreign to mass market popular fiction, a style that worked against the grain of her genre.
