Well said

A persistent meme on this board is the sardonic derision for "plotfags", id est, those who consider a novel's plot its most important element, usually eschewing the prose.
I understand that anti-plotfags feel first and foremost a concern for the aesthetic force which they perceive on a work's linguistic style. I offer a counterpoint: for every novel, the narrative structure has a shape. We may then add that everything with a shape has aesthetic properties, and is therefore an object of aesthetic judgement. Therefore, a novel's plot may even be so aesthetically superior as to "justify" the work.
