The Great Novel You've Never Read (Slate.com)
By Daryll Lynne Evans, Contributing Blogger
Last week was Slate's Fall Fiction Week, and one fun fiction adventure is the article "The Great Novel I Never Read", which features novelists revealing their "sins of omission"--in their reading history, that is. Amy Bloom's confession? Moby Dick. Angie Cruz? Middlemarch. Authors are also asked to reveal their guilty pleasures.
Some other offerings on Fall Fiction Week: "Stephen Metcalf reviews Philip Roth's Exit Ghost; and Michael Wood dissects Mario Vargas Llosa's The Bad Girl. Joshua Glenn solves an academic debate about Henry James' The Ambassadors; Sarah Schulman challenges the myth of merit-based publishing; Nathan Heller takes on Robert Hass; and much, much more."
