... if had to rank them (and if I were teaching a course on The Great
Twentieth Century American Novel), I'd place _The Green Mile_ not that shy
of _The Great Ghatsby_.
Mind you, I don't go a bundle on the idea of prose as an art form anyway,
and if I had to teach 20thC American fiction , it would probably be
something from Pynchon -- 48th Street Blues rather than V or Gravity's
Rainbow, whatever.
Apart from anything else, there's a case for +short+ novels ...
Just a thot.
Much rather teach Stevens or Pound, but ...
