The Great American Novel?

Early this year, the NY Times Book Review's editor sent a letter to a couple of hundred prominent writers, critics, editors and other literary sages asking them to identify "the single best work of American fiction published in the last 25 years." The results - in some respects quite surprising, in others not at all - provide a rich, if partial and unscientific, picture of the state of American literature, a kind of composite self-portrait as interesting perhaps for its blind spots and distortions as for its details.
