Novel Criticism: How to Critique Novels Like a Novelist

America's literary legacy is essentially defined by best-seller lists but without them, how would readers of "serious writers" know what to read? If we don't recognize our literary genius, then do we risk being relegated to the collective rag and bone pile of national literary mediocrity? Will future generations look back and wonder: was this really the best literature which America was capable of publishing? "Novel Criticism" offers readers of serious writers a better way to discern the best literary novelists and to cull their work from mainstream, commercial best-sellers. Lentz's new model to criticize, review and rate novels online like a literary novelist adds his rich list of "A Novelist's Top 100 Novels." "Challenges readers seeking a richer literary experience outside the mainstream." -- Greenwich Post "His writing is on a higher plane for a higher purpose." -- Wilton Bulletin "Lentz explores... the role of a talented individual, an artist ... in a complex, vast society." -- New Canaan Advertiser
