Why read it?
1 author picked Love and Death in the American Novel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Time and again, I come back to this work of criticism because of its daring arguments. Fiedler attempts nothing less than a comparison of American fiction with English, French, and Russian literature.
If some of his arguments will leave you scratching your head, others will make you look at novels from an entirely different perspective and provide a new understanding of works you thought you knew.
From Marc's list on American intellectual history.
