Description	The intention of this essay is to pursue one particular aspect of modern fiction which forms a line of continuity between Hermann Broch's novel The Sleepwalkers (1932) and Milan Kundera's novel The Farewell Party (1976). This aspect can be labelled 'fictional polyphony' and is a means of establishing a specific fictional world. Polyphony in fiction denotes a multiplicity and equality of voices in which no single one dominates and none is mere accompaniment. It can emerge as a consequence of the use of devices associated with the genre of the fantastic. This does not mean, however, that either of the works addressed here necessarily becomes 'fantastic' as a result. In examining this aspect, this essay will concentrate on the tools which construct polyphony and its consequences for the construction of meaning in a novel. Last but not least, it will demonstrate how this aspect is related to what Broch has called 'the depiction of reality', which he views as the ethical duty of the modern novel and which Kundera has referred to as the noetic function of a novel , i.e. the function by means of which a novel becomes a tool of knowledge.
