I'm not sure if he is the best American writer of all time, but I think he did a great job of capturing the American experience during the gilded age and the industrial revolution. So maybe he is the best American writer of his time.

He's a great author but for my money I'd say Henry Miller is the greatest American writer...

Teddy James! it is lots cuter and lots a lot less basic than the call Henry. in spite of the indisputable fact that, per chance it ought to no longer be such an truly good concept for even as he's about 16 and he may be teased for having that call. it is in my view my accepted call in spite of the indisputable fact that, in spite of the indisputable fact that Henry is an effective call, yet I favor the call Harry.

I usually do not read American literature, but I must admit I do like the works of Henry James. "Daisy Miller" is my favorite. "The Turn of the Screw" is the one I would most like to read that I have not done so yet.

No. I'll take Mark Twain.
