Here are my favourite quotes/notes. I also added videos and/or links. This should not deter you from reading the whole book which is made up of texts and explanations and is fascinating and engaging.
21 - Intertextuality
There are many ways by which one text can refer to another: parody, pastiche, echo, allusion, direct quotation, structural parallelism. Some theorists believe that intertextuality is the very condition of literature, that all texts are woven from the tissues of other texts, whether their authors know it or not. Writers committed to documentary-style realism will tend to deny or suppress this principle.
Intertextuality, in short, is entwined in the roots of the English novel, [some] novelists have tended to exploit rather than resist it, freely recycling old myths and earlier works of literature to shape, or add resonance to, their presentation of contemporary life.

22 - The experimental novel
An experimental novel is one that ostentatiously deviates from the received ways of representing reality -- either in narrative organization or in style, or in both -- to heighten or change our perception of that reality.
The second and third decades of the twentieth century, the heyday of modernism, were notable for experimental fiction [...]
Fragmentation, discontinuity, montage, are pervasive in the experimental art of the nineteen-twenties.

23 - The comic novel
Comedy in fiction would appear to have two primary sources, though they are intimately connected: situation (which entails character -- a situation that is comic for one character would not necessarily be so for another) and style.
-- a combination of surprise and conformity to pattern --> comic
