From Harriet Beecher Stowe to Jack Keruoac or from Little Women to Catcher in the Rye, American Fiction has enough great literature to appease the most avid intellectual or introduce the novice gently to the American voice. Do you wish for something a bit lighter? We can introduce you writers from Zane Gray to Stephen King.
We have reviews of the Great American Novel, short stories and forgotten gems from the past. We will keep you up-to-date with author biographies, interviews, and the story behind the story.
American literary soil is rich; let us introduce you to the worker’s of that soil and their products.
