Post the name of the author, his canon novel and a novel that is better then the canon by the same author.
I will start:
>Author
Hunter S. Thompson

>Canon Novel
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

>Best Novel
Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

Well, I'll agree with that. Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 72 is magnificent.

>Best Novel
The Trial

The Trial is arguably pretty canon. Moreover, it's definitely his canon novel, since Meta. is a short story.

Amerika

fun but not as good as blithedale

Blithedale's oddly modern, but it's not his best novel- which just so happens to be his canon novel of yesteryear, The House of the Seven Gables.
I don't necessarily like writing this, but it is a fact.

Dude, I love Amerika. Just wish he finished it.

You mean something actually happening when they arrive in Oklahoma or the unfinished chapters with the fat lady Delamarche and Robinson?
I read it too but don't know much about "How" unfinished it is.

Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom, As I Lay Dying-- all canonical. The Hamlet is his best.

thats a bold statement, why do you say so? Ive read all that besides The Hamlet

>Author
Philip Roth

>Canon Novel
American Pastoral

>Best Novel
Sabbath's Theater (although I like The Counterlife a LOT)

brothers is universally considered to be his best work

The Oklahoma Nature Theater is just getting underway. I suppose I wanted more. Just a wonderful idea. The premise of the book, consciously based entirely upon old world rumors about the new, is marvelous. I don't disagree, necessarily.

The Hamlet's an incredibly strong beginning to an unfortunately shit trilogy which I feel has made it a pleasant afterthought to most who've read the (Snopes) trilogy through. The book reveals Faulkner in an almost classic writing mode, weaving 4 central motifs together before concluding brilliantly. I choose it because it's my favorite, of course, although I do like most of his work in general. Particularly Absalom and Light.
