Selected
punktroman (or pointillist novel)
In Quebecois and French literature, this is normally discussed as a "pointillist novel," but for the most part "punktroman" is a genre that occurs only in the Nordic countries, so it's appropriate to leave it as "punktroman" in English as we do "bildungsroman," etc. While it is a type of short fiction, it's a much more narrow genre than that.

: Reelt trækker de to første bøger - originalt i Danmark - på den angelsaksisk punktroman-tradition, hvor teksten er bygget op af tilsyneladende spredte, korte nedslag i et hændelsesforløb.http://www.kb.dk/elib/bio/ny-dk/hessel_c/. Nanna Mercer
