As you all know, American novelist Stanley M. Lieber, 95, Nobel Prize for Literature, died today in Los Angeles. He's among the best known American novelists, in the likes of Philip Roth or Toni Morrisson, or F. Scott Fitzgerald or Ernest Hemingway before. In his youth, he had always wanted to write "The Great American Novel". He succeeded.
What is your favorite novel of his ? Many cite "Excelsior", but my personal favourite is "The Spider's Web". Peter Parker, the protagonist, overshadowed The Catcher In The Rye's Holden Caulfield, in one of the best descriptions of puberty ever put on paper.
