What novels would be regarded as “Classic” or “Essential” American literature?
I mean this broadly but I was thinking specifically too, of the “Southern Gothic” section
A trilogy of novels set in the Deep South and written by William Faulkner: ‘The Mansion’, ‘The Hamlet’, The Town.’
These novels- published in about 1958-1960- are timeless classics. The hot atmosphere and backwardness and raw cunning of the characters is amazing. You’ll love these novels with amazing characters such as Flem Snopes who is as unforgettable as he is evil.
Faulkner received a Nobel Prize for Literature. I’m not surprised!
For sheer comic value, you might like to look at ‘The Collected Novellas’ of Nathaniel West. He is VERY scathing about the USA in a very funny way. Although he died in 1940 the books are very fresh and timeless.
Enjoy!
