#225: 250 Years Of Great American Novels – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We kick today's episode in the ass with some Charles Bukowski talk! After that, we discuss another list about the Great American Novel. This one tries to define what that truly means and if it's possible for a single novel to take the crown as the definitive Great American Novel.
