Customer Reviews

Not a true and fair selection.

This is not a fair selection. It has far too many American writers. It has writers mostly the most recent American ones who have no major standing in world - literature. It is even unfair to the best American writers of this time, and has neither Bellow nor Updike. And certainly it ignores many of the giants of world- literature even in the past century.
