I also vote EoE for the Great American Novel (maybe tied with Great Gatsby for me). I also love Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter, but I feel like they’re a little more contextual whereas East of Eden (and Gatsby) seems to deal more broadly with the American experience.
But listening to this definitely has me more excited to pick up Huck Finn!
This was such a good conversation!
