A two part survey:

  1. What are the criteria for “The Great American Novel”

  2. What are some contenders for the title?

(I don’t believe there is a single Great American Novel myself).

(part 3 optional, what books published in the last 20 years might be contenders).

2

Would this be different from The Greatest American Novel (the recent thread)?

3

Didn’t we just do this?

Sorry, didn’t see it last time.
