Lets post the greatest novels in the major strands of American fiction. I'll start.

>Blood Meridian. Great American Western.
>East of Eden. Great American Family Saga.
>Dandelion Wine. Great American Childhood Novel.
>BoTNS. Great American Speculative Epic.
>Moby Dick. Great American Epic.
>Gone With The Wind. Great American Romance.
>Violent Bear It Away. Great American Southern Gothic.
>Life & Times of Scrooge. Great American novel on Capitalism.
>Civil War: A Narrative. Great American Historical Epic.

Do we all agree?

We already have an American canon.

Also you need Huck Finn.

>Blood Meridian. Great American Western.
Too postmodern and revisionist. Lonesome Dove is the Great American Western.
>East of Eden. Great American Family Saga.
I prefer Sometimes A Great Notion.
>Dandelion Wine. Great American Childhood Novel.
Haven't read this one yet so I can't comment.
>BoTNS. Great American Speculative Epic.
Agree.
>Moby Dick. Great American Epic.
Agree.
>Gone With The Wind. Great American Romance.
Agre.
>Violent Bear It Away. Great American Southern Gothic.
No. Faulkner is king of this domain.
>Life & Times of Scrooge. Great American novel on Capitalism.
This isn't literature. It's a comic. Another art form.
>Civil War: A Narrative. Great American Historical Epic.
Agree.

I could've replaced Violent Bear it Away with Absalom Absalom.
