The Great American Novelists - Page 2

Presented in the order they appear in Goodreads' 518-item long "100 Best American Authors." I have excluded playwrights and poets, who are brilliant, but are working in a different genre. Fannie Flagg shows up before David Foster Wallace, but I'm betting DFW (RIP) wouldn't have appeared on "Match Game" if he'd been invited.
