| | | Editor Zane asked 125 celebrated authors to choose ten books they loved. The answers revealed some likely suspects, as well as a vast number of books he would never have suspected, including some thoroughly obscure ones. This volume includes a synopsis of each book chosen, along with essays by authors on favorite books.
| Praise| "Let's not mince words: literary lists are basically an obscenity....But what if...You went to all the big-name authors in the world--Franzen, Mailer, Wallace, Wolfe, Chabon, Lethem, King, 125 of them--and got each one to cough up a top-10 list of the greatest books of all time....Yes, it would probably still be an obscenity. But it would be a pretty interesting obscenity. And that's what we have in J. Peder Zane's THE TOP TEN." - Lev Grossman 01/15/2007 |
