Re: American Tragedy? Indeed...

*** but then in the field of fine art what American thing is? America, being late to the party, could never match the finesse of the old world, that takes centuries to develop, so its unmatched avhievemnts lie elsewhere.

Victor, I think I could go along with you regarding music and painting - the best Americans are a cut below history's best. However, in literature I believe there are some American works that can hold their own at the top levels. "Gatsby" would be one of my nominations - not just for the story but also for the beautiful writing. I doubt that a film will ever be able to capture the greatness of this book.
