The modern novel can no longer be seen as an entirely European product. Works western critics can identify as novels - works like ''[[The Tale of Genji]]'' written by [[Murasaki Shikibu]] in the 11th century - works of prose fiction focusing on love stories and the individual, have been composed outside Europe centuries before comparable works came to be written by western authors. Non-European modern Authors such as [[Amos Tutuola]] have successfully brought their own traditions of the epic and the shorter story into the field of the European novel.
