This is the 4th instalment of my chronology of American fiction. It is a list of novels, novellas & short story collections by American authors published in 1970-1979. Many of the books have been turned into acclaimed movies. There are several Pulitzer Prize & National Book Award winners as well as works by Nobel Prize winners (Bellow, Hemingway, Morrison and I.B. Singer).
