an interest point of view. I know it's mportant for Americans to locate the great American novel , but maybe it doesn't exist. There are great novels and poor novels. I find The Crucible a brilliant American drama , but it transcends the society it talks about in order to apply to all societies blinded by irrational beliefs. And this what great literature should be about. A lot of Americans see their literature as the center of the universe. Everything not American is world literature. I see American literature as just another type of world literature.
