Is The Great Gatsby the Great American Novel?

[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Three novels which haven't been mentioned yet:

/Tender is the Night/ (Fitzgerald)

/VALIS/ (Dick)

/The Runaway Soul/ (Brodkey)


None of these is perfect, but each one is - as Rushdie wrote in his 
review of The Runaway Soul - "worth a hundred safe little well-made 
books." For my understanding of America these novels are very important.
