A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The great American novel, the coming of which we used to discuss with such animation, has not been written and probably never will be, for a novel must have location and must picture, with fidelity to detail, individual characters as well as groups of characters. This necessary detail inevitably makes it sectional, provincial, differentiates its people and its atmosphere from the people and the atmosphere picture d in another novel equally good, equally true, the scene of which is laid in another part of the country, or which deals with a different group of people. These differences will cause Americans of other sections to disclaim both books as representative of America as they know it, although to foreigners, both books may seem typically American. We, close at hand, see most clearly the differences of detail, accept sub consciously the likenesses; they, farther away, miss the detail and see only the broad likenesses.
