William Carlos Williams

The Great American Novel William Carlos Williams

This is an unusual short classic by poet William Carlos Williams.

Written in 1923 and originally published in France, The Great American Novel examines the impossibility of writing such work in America.

Williams not only writes the novel with poetic satire and pathos but allows us into his writing process, as he strives to define a young America at the end of a World War and the beginning of the Roaring '20s.
