'novel' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'drunk must conceal wine' is the wordplay.
'drunk' is an anagram indicator.
'wine' becomes 'bin' (a bin is a type of container for wine).
'must'+'conceal'='mustconceal'
'mustconceal' is an anagram of 'uncletomsca'.
'uncletomsca'+'bin'='UNCLE TOMS CABIN'

'which is' is the link.
