  2. American Lit
    I don't know how to add these in. We already have Frost and Faulkner listed. Kantor says not to miss:
    Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Frederick Douglass, Emily Dickinson, Twain, Henry James, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Flannery O'Conner. I want to add Sinclair Lewis, Edna Ferber, Willa Cather.
    For a start!
