The Modern Library: The 200 Best Novels In English Since 1950
For Colm Toibin and Carmen Callil, there is no difference between literary and commercial writing - there is only the good novel: engrossing, inspirational, and compelling. In their selection of the best 200 novels written since 1950, the editors make a case for the best and the best-loved works and argue why each should be considered a modern classic.
