The point of this thread? To divert my attention from my awful existence. Hope that helps

>>18926859
but wouldn't a novel set in an unfamiliar environment be better at doing that?

A very small chunk of Against the Day was set in my state. There was also the end of Philip K Dick book set in my town, but I forget which. Honestly the most famous is probably that book that Field of Dreams was based off of.

Brazil, The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis

Pedro Páramo is set in Colima, retard.

>>18926867
Probably why he asked for best novels from your state and not his own.

I can’t think of a single book set in Florida sadly…. Heres a map I’m making for this thread though

>>18927062


NO.

>>18926628

>>18927448
Most of Faulkner’s novels

I’d just like to point out that nearly every single novel set in Pennsylvania is set in either the coal / mill towns of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh itself, or rural PA. Almost no novels set in PA are set in Philadelphia, one of the top 5 largest cities in the US, thus proving the rest of the state’s superiority, and Philadelphia’s pathetic inferiority, shitness, and non-culture.

>>18927293
Having St. Petersburg exist is literally cheating as there are more great works of literature set in that city alone than there are for entire countries and even continents

>>18928630
We got Rocky though
And that AIDS movie

American Pastoral
Fuck the anti-semites
And that drunken Irish larping as a Wasp ivy leaguer

For Americans to try and unionize and then face a gang of mercenaries?
I see you don’t know what “commie shit” is

If that’s for West Virginia it should be the Collected Stories of Breece Pancake.
If it’s for Kentucky then I don’t give a fuck

My uncle was an obscure Idaho poet. Good enough to get a Uni job but the stuff I read wasn’t that great. Maybe a Brautigan fan can make the case for giving him that spot on the map.
All the trout streams in A River Runs Through It are in MT.
I hail from Wilmington, DE, a Place to Be Somebody. I understand that Fight Club is essentially set there.
