Twenty Big Apples

From 1880 right on up through 2004 (and even later), novelists have featured New York City as one of the main characters in their writings. Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saul Bellow and Michael Chabon are just four of the authors featured in “20 Defining Novels About New York”, a blog entry from the Best Colleges Online site.

The entry’s creator explains that the list “. . . samples a few that deftly portray the city and its broad spectrum of peoples and places, reflecting its status as one of the hundreds of ‘melting pots in the world.”

Then try one of the twenty. They can be addictive.
