What makes a book a classic? We’ve been revisiting the
question recently thanks to a piece by Laura Miller at Salon,which explored
what makes a book worthy of inclusion in the canon. Should David Foster
Wallace be counted among the greats?
Does Slaughterhouse-Five stand alongside Ulysses and the novels of
Charles Dickens? Do these questions even matter?
We asked a handful of
critics, writers, and publishing industry people for their take on which
new and underrated books should be considered classics.
