Publisher's Synopsis

The indispensable guide for every readerAlarmed by the ignorance often displayed towards our literary past, Carmen Callil and Colm Toibin have chosen the 194 books since 1950 that they consider to be the best. Some familiar names - Naipaul, Updike, Bellow and Nabokov - rub shoulders with some real surprises like Mario Puzo and Thomas Harris. Witty, controversial and written to encourage reading, no household should be without The Modern Library
