Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville. Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky are bit better than both though.

herman melville; sherwood anderson; john dos passos; william faulkner; saul bellow; nathanael west . . .
love me some david foster wallace and william gaddis, too.
vonnegut is overrated. he's an okay introduction to postmodernist lit but pretty light on substance.Last edited by NEETzsche; 12-11-2012, 09:50 AM.

I don't know who the best american writers are but there are so many books in our house while I was growing up. I started with novels by Harold Robins then got hooked up with western stories by Lois L'amour then science fictions by Isaac Asimov then James Michener and Robert Ludlum. I have read so many books by American authors but I forgot their names. I lost interest with books when I started working.
