      Gatsby is the correct answer. But we won’t deduct points for Moby Dick.https://twitter.com/xan_desanctis/status/1126149192555143168 …

      What’s the top candidate for Great American Novel? There are some obvious and equally defensible answers I think, and I have my own theory, but curious what Twitter world thinks

      Here’s what I would say: Gatsby is the Great American Novel. Moby Dick is the Quintessential American Novel.

          When Americans consume virtually all storytelling media—even including sports—they do so through a Moby Dick lens. But when Americans *act out their own storytelling,* they do so through a Great Gatsby lens.

          Thus both are essential to understanding America, but Gatsby is more revealing of Americans.

          That’s a solid argument. Could argue Huck Finn, Sister Carrie, or Sound and the Fury as the quintessential American one as well.

          both are trash books and only Gatsby is worth reading because it's so short

          I don’t think an English author can be credited with the Great American Novel
