parenthetical expression – an expression that is inserted into the flow of thought. It may be in the middle of a sentence or between sentences, but it does not deal directly with the topic at hand. These are set off by dashes or parentheses.
picaresque novel – an episodic, often autobiographical novel about a rogue or picaro (a person of low social status) wandering and living off his wits. The wandering hero provides the author with the opportunity to connect widely different pieces of plot; these novels tend to be satiric and filled with petty detail.
