The Great American Novel is probably Moby Dick.
There's a bunch of other contenders and this one is on the list alright. Have you read it?
Julian Johnson
The Great American Novel is probably The Golden Bowl.

Gabriel Brown
That’s a Scottish book about mythology and religion, doofus.

The Great American Novel is probably Under the Dome by Stephen King.

Bowl not Bough baka.
Andrew Green
No. Steel Ball Run is though.

I'm on the last pages and it has become one of the best books i've ever read. I agree that Moby Dick is a great book, but it gets very technical and weary in some parts, whereas East of Eden i think is a text of equal depth with a prose so fluid that it makes you realize that while it's fairly "comfy" in its reading, a very deep and profound thinking went into writing it. It deals with big truths as all great books do. It also gives the best portrayal of a sociopathic behavior that i've ever read, Steinbeck was a master of character development. Sorry for the broken english, not a native speaker.

Ah! The search function failed me.
James, but still set in England.
Noted. Glad I have a copy

Nathan Bailey
So, Henry James? What book?
Jason Bailey
written by a true pleb. probably an actually professor of literature. of course, they're all washouts who have the same mentality. anyone who has a valid opinion will be squelched out. but these milquetoast bullshit opinions get spread via plebbit and people who only pretend to read actually believe them, because they don't read, so they have no real opinion on these books (which they haven't read) and they're desperate to cling to the "popular" opinion of these books, because, again, they haven't read them, or, more sadly still, they have read them but they're not intelligent enough to form an opinion about them which is stronger than the wet-paper-bag opinion so well championed in this plebbit post
Camden Green
Shit take on Moby Dick. It’s America. The story is about the US and it’s madness. The madness it has then and now. The madness McCarthy tries to channel in Blood Meridian
Charles Jones
i'm sure you get a lot of people who follow you around Yea Forums, but this is one of the most retarded things I've ever seen you write.
You clearly don't read.
Camden Anderson
The search function screwed up
Brandon Walker
what does that mean
you had to search for what The Golden Bowl was
John Cox
To see where is was published and what it was about.
I don’t own either
Dominic Scott
It would've been better if you had simply searched the biography of Henry James, where you'd have learned he was indeed an American. And I barely know who Henry James is from recent readings of his name here.
Christopher Butler
Based and correct
Good point. If I had to pick "the great american novel" I wouldn't split it up by criteria, category, or content, but instead would say The Great Gatsby and Blood Meridian are the essential readings, in release order of course.

I liked the bit about the asian guy pretty much having a waifu and praising waifuism. It was surprisingly endearing.
Juan Rodriguez
Love that book and tweet post was spot on.
Did you listen to his lectures? All his claims are super Alan Watts/Joseph Campbell tier for me, but as with each, fascinating and exhilarating way of looking at things that go beyond the imperfections in their articulation of their ideas
David Jenkins
I hadn’t heard any, no. Thanks for the suggestion, I will now. It’s been a few years since I read the book and it sort of sticks with me.
I searched the title “The Golden Bowl” and got results for The Golden Bough
Isaiah Brown
>The Golden Bowl
what's that even about? James was a literal faggot, so it's probably about having a picnic and sucking dicks.
Landon Reyes
It just means the greatest American novel ever written. Great prose, thematically developed, with an American theme. It's not that hard to guess, faggots.
Evan Lopez
not him but it's true. faggots in academia are so stubborn that they reject anyone who disagrees with their beliefs.
Joshua Perez
Rich dad marries his daughter off to an Italian for cheap. He has a blonde bowl cut. 400~pages of the characters inner thoughts about their situations
Ayden Fisher
Read it as one of several books for a highschool class. Very good.
