Was it even a competition?

Seriously, name me one absolute essential piece of American lit I should read that will live up to the Russians. Go ahead, i'm waiting.

There is nothing that comes close to the phenomenal and incredibly profound works of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy.

Tolstoy is "Beautiful: well-formed and aesthetically pleasing."

Blood Meridian is "Sublime: has the power to compel and destroy us."
