List of White Male Authors with Critically Acclaimed Novels Over 500 Pages
|
|
This is a list of contemporary white male authors of literary fiction who received critical acclaim for their novels of 500 pages or more. Studies have shown that it's more likely for prestigious awards to select titles about male characters written by male authors. A novel beyond over 110,000 words is considered an epic or saga, and books that exceed 150,000 words tend to be 500 pages or more. While male novelists such as William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon, John Updike, and David Foster Wallace are regarded as masters of the epic novel. The books on this list considered critically acclaimed based on winning, their nomination, or appearance on the shortlist or long list for the prestigious literary awards of the Pulitzer, Man Booker Prize, National Book Award, and National Book Critics Circle Award, or their inclusion on The Greatest Books list, an aggregation of "greatest books of all time" lists from various sources. Page counts are sourced from first editions.
