I wonder if collaborative fiction like SCPF etc could form a collectivist counter movement to novels?
Maybe! I don't think it's impossible to write a non-individualist novel, by any means - there's just a degree of difficulty there that's analogous to Truffaut's insistence that you can't make an anti-war film, because cinema inherently glorifies.
Most of the books I know of that address this question are still in my to-read pile but someday I'll go on a binge.
