AB - This article concludes that the interface between the characteristics of popular culture and multilateral structure of novel is the key to understanding the "Death" of novel as a genre and its derivative characteristics. One of the important features of novel as a genre is the expansion of narration. The narrative expansion is the repetitive expansion of a specific structure. One of the structures for the expansion is the relationship of main characters. A writer can consolidate the theme of his or her novel through the repetitive expansion of the relationships. The repetition of structure needs a linking part between the structures and individual elements play their roles in connecting the repetitive structures. The structural multi-layer distinguishes the 'pop cultural' characteristic of novel since the 'pop culture' is a culture of multitude and multi-layer. 「What happens to the man jammed in the elevator door?」 is a novel that explicitly shows the characteristic of multi-layered theme through various individual elements, not to mention other general features as a novel. The structure of theme generation for a novel is mostly dominated by its writer. The various elements, however, allow readers to involve with creation of the theme for the novel. The two-folded way of theme generation intensifies the communication of readers with the novel. It leads, however, the novel to a fatal 'Death' as a genre. Quoting one of the famous comments from Bassin that novel does not have any definitive characteristics, however, we may consider it as a transformation of the novel, not as the Death of novel. The transformation inspires vitality to novel and it is where we can clearly understand the characteristics of novel.
