Twitter parlor game: what are the best novels written by academic scholars? (i.e. people known primarily for their scholarship rather than their fiction-writing: i.e., no David Lodge, no Nabokov)

Probably Raymond Williams' Border Country. Otherwise, all fiction written by academics is terrible (Harold Bloom, for instance).

Have you read Trilling's "The Middle of the Journey"? I haven't, but it has its champions

Okay, Trilling might be good (his short story "Of This Time, of That Place" is good).
