' often considered to be one of the "Great American Novels. " '

Says who?

This article has no documentation.

I remember, fifty one years ago, having heard it said (without documentation) that the author of this novel had imagined that he had written the Great American Novel, and having thought so, then decided to kill himself, and then did so.

Where is it written?

Where is the documentation?

I ask not so much to challenge the glib commentary here, but rather to wonder what the facts might be, as documented by reliable references, whether contemporaneous to the event, or not.

I suggest you read the novel and conclude for yourself. I have never heard of an organization chartered to read novels with the mission to confer such a distinction so perhaps like all things art, therefore subjective, read it for yourself and if you agree like so many others, appreciate that such a fine novel exists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.127.181.211 (talk) 17:50, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But... that's not how this works. On Wikipedia, claims should be cited -- in this case, with contemporary reviews -- or it should be removed or at least labeled as uncited and possibly as original research, which I will do now.DiamondRemley39 (talk) 01:49, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
