What makes you put The Scarlet Letter on there? I loved the others on your list but that one was boring for me.

East of eden. Steinbeck
I am partial to "los muertos mandan", blasco ibanez. In Catalan.
I admit to confirmation bias re my nominee.
Steinbeck is the "official" answer.
Almost as grim as my nominee.
Both horrific.
Maybe los muertos mandan is in english translation. Imagine the protagonist is Rex and the locals are the OT baws.

quote:I think it is a great reflection of the times it represented. I think it is a great study in human nature. It shows clearly how over time's passage, certain "facts" about people do often evolve, and how public opinion can move. And how our misdeeds can be redeemed or redeeming factors over time - like lemons, they can be turned to lemonade.
What makes you put The Scarlet Letter on there?
In this case, Hester's practice of kindness and her parenting demonstrates much about what is in her soul (despite initial popular opinion). Whereas, the good reverend's heart rotted from having to exist in the unconfessed shadows of what he had done.
So that's why I included it.
