From the author of the New York Times bestselling How to Read
Literature Like a Professor comes a highly entertaining and
informative new book on the twenty-five works of literature that
have most shaped the American character. Foster applies his
much-loved combination of wit, know-how, and analysis to explain
how each work has shaped our very existence as readers, students,
teachers, and Americans.
Foster illuminates how books such as The Last of the Mohicans,
Moby-Dick, My Antonia, The Great Gatsby, The Maltese Falcon, Their
Eyes Were Watching God, On the Road, The Crying of Lot 49, and
others captured an American moment, how they influenced our
perception of nationhood and citizenship, and what about them
endures in the American character. Twenty-five Books That Shaped
America is a fun and enriching guide to America through its
literature.
