| [Some other random american novels I find excellent/significant] Crossing to Safety - William Gaddis Chronic City - Jonathan Lethem Latro in the Mist - Gene Wolfe Arcadia (Play) - Tom Stoppard The Last Picture Show & Texasville - Larry McMurtry [Read both] The Blithdale Romance - Nathaniel Hawthorne Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy The Crossing - Cormac McCarthy ^One of the most interesting novels touching on Southwestern United States. The First chapter regarding the Wolf is one of the most uniquely environmental sections I've seen by prominant American authors. Admittedly, I'm a bit biased in this regard. A Scanner Darkly - Phillip K Dick |
