Overview
The Atlantic published a list of great American novels in March of 2024. "The American canon is more capacious, more fluid, and more fragile than perhaps ever before. But what, exactly, is in it?" To that end, they defined American as having first been published or intended to be published in the United States, and they narrowed the time range to 100 years - 1924 to 2024. They came up with a list of 136 books.
I like a good list challenge. :) No start or end date - join when you want, read at your own pace.
Books are on the list in order of first publication date.
