MAIN STREET by Sinclair Lewis

Image
  With Commentary by E. M. Forster, Dorothy Parker, H. L. Mencken, Lewis Mumford, Rebecca West, Sherwood Anderson, Malcolm Cowley, Alfred Kazin, Constance Rourke, and Mark Schorer. Main Street , the story of an idealistic young woman's attempts to reform her small town, brought Lewis immediate acclaim when it was published in 1920. It remains one of the essential texts of the American scene. Lewis Mumford observed: "In  Main Street  an American had at last written of our life with something of the intellectual rigor and critical detachment that had seemed so cruel and unjustified [in Charles Dickens and Matthew Arnold].

Joyce undermines traditional storytelling and all official forms of English and confronts the different kinds of betrayal - cultural, political and sexual - that he saw at the heart of Irish history. Dazzlingly inventive, with passages of great lyrical beauty and humour, Finnegans Wake remains one of the most re...

THE ALEXANDRIA QUARTET by Lawrence Durrell

Image
  Lawrence Durrell's series of four novels set in Alexandria, Egypt during the 1940s. The lush and sensuous series consists of  Justine (1957)  Balthazar (1958)  Mountolive (1958)  Clea (1960). Justine ,  Balthazar  and  Mountolive  use varied viewpoints to relate a series of events in Alexandria before World War II. In  Clea , the story continues into the years during the war. One L.G. Darley is the primary observer of the events, which include events in the lives of those he loves, and those he knows. In  Justine , Darley attempts to recover from and put into perspective his recently ended affair with a woman.  Balthazar  reinterprets the romantic perspective he placed on the affair and its aftermath in  Justine , in more philosophical and intellectual terms. Mountolive  tells a story minus interpretation, and  Clea  reveals Darley's healing, and coming to love another woman.
