I'm still warming up a bit to the science of discussing literature (it's been a while)--here are my attempts at discussion questions:
1. Why do you think this novel has fallen into relative obscurity compared to others of the period (Steinbeck, etc)? What's missing?
2. Compared to Dos Passos and other authors we will read this semester, Johnson's characters seem free of vice in terms of finding outlets to deal with the stress of their lives. Do the characters in Now in November harbor addictions? Are they greedy? In what ways?
