The Guardian 100 Best Novels
''The Guardians 100 best novels is a list of the best English-language novels as selected by Robert McCrum for ''The Guardian''. Reception McCrum has received both praise and criticism for his 2015 list. Owing to this, he created a brief epilogue to the series, in which he explained many of his choices, such as his choice of '' Emma'' of the Jane Austen novels. He also explained regrettable exclusions, such as ''Light Years'', ''Gravity's Rainbow'', ''Crash'', ''A Confederacy of Dunces'', ''Slaughterhouse Five'', '' All the Pretty Horses'', ''Wise Blood'', ''The Pursuit of Love'', '' Rebecca'' and '' Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy''.

He aroused controversy again, however, in, at the end of this article ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
