#greatamericannovel — Public Fediverse posts

I finally started to read Mark Z. Danielewski’s monumental novel Tom’s Crossing last night, and I already know I’m committed for the long haul. I’ve had the book on my shelves for a couple of months now but put off starting it until I had the (head)space to give it the attention it deserves.

I’m a fan of Danielewski’s work anyway, but this seems like something that reaches beyond even the best of his earlier writing. So many passages where I’m marvelling at the way he expresses both the mundane and the ineffable with such clarity and apparent ease.

There’s no comparable feeling, I think, to becoming truly lost in a grand work of the imagination.

#TodayILearned that when people first started using the term #GreatAmericanNovel in the late 1800s, they were originally referring to the challenge of writing a book that would equally appeal to both Northerners and Southerners in the post-Civil War years. https://fivebooks.com/best-books/the-great-american-novel-lawrence-buell/
