A Great American Novel
5 stars
Written as unbroken conversations - that is, no description just nearly a thousand pages of dialogue. Seems like it couldn't work, but by the end of the novel you fall in love with these imperfect characters. When I started it, I thought it couldn't possibly top The Recognitions. But that's when I was younger, now this feels like the great American novel that we deserve.
