To: Knitting A Conundrum
I like his writing...but no doubt he's pc incorrect for his man-woman viewpoints as much as anything.

Pretty anti-Semitic, too: I'm thinking of just the first part of The Sun Also Rises and his description of Robert Cohn. Then again, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is about Huckleberry's guilt over not "doing the right thing" by returning a human being back to his "owner," and that book's pretty high up on this list.

I know people that think Huck Finn is the very best novel written in the US. And these are serious academicians.

I don't know who I'd put in that slot.
