PEN World Voices Festival book bag

       The PEN World Voices Festival starts next Monday, and one of the things they're doing is offering American Classics Take Two (scroll down), where:

Our American Classics series returns with Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Egan, curating her top ten list of literary works which will be placed inside each room of The Standard Hotel.

       They don't seem to have the list of titles on the site, but at The Daily Beast they now have Pulitzer Winner Jennifer Egan's PEN Festival Book Bag, with a brief explanation for each selection. Instead of just a top ten they count a dozen -- though only about half of them qualify as 'American Classics' (but then for a world voices festival a more international selection does seem appropriate).
       (Of her selections, only Middlemarch by George Elliot is under review at the complete review).
