Great American Novels<br />
Welcome to the English-language book club. This club is for<br />
anyone interested in reading and discussing English and American<br />
literature, regardless of your nationality.<br />
This season we will be reading Great American Novels; which<br />
according to The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary is: ‘any<br />
novel that is regarded as having successfully represented an<br />
important time in US history or one that tells a story that is typical<br />
of America.’<br />
All of the eight novels in this book club fit this description. Some<br />
of them are old and already canonized as Great American Novels.<br />
Others are quite new, but often mentioned as examples of the<br />
Great American Novel of our time.<br />
