Relating to a rogues adventures, rather than an organised plot. See Fielding's Tom Jones.

Term used to describe a novel that is loosely structured around a succession of episodes that focus on a rather thinly drawn picaro, or hero. The hero's adventures generally provide a sweeping and detailed view of a society and its customs, which are often satisfied by the writer. Examples include Cervantes's Don Quixote and Voltaire's Candide.
