Flavorwire's 50 Essential Cult Novels - Page 2

"Just what is a cult novel? Well, like so many literary terms, the edges blur whenever you try to look right at them, but in the end, you sort of know one when you read one. Sometimes a cult novel is one that the critics panned but the fans love, or sometimes it’s one that both readers and critics love, but a certain contingent of readers really love. Any book with a squadron of rabid fans swearing that it changed their lives quickly seems cultish. Cult novels often come from the fringes, they often represent countercultural perspectives, they often experiment with form. But again: you sort of know one when you see one, and this list contains 50 of the best (or at least the most notable). As always, there are many more good ones out there, and new cults forming all the time across the world, so if your favorite dog-eared novel-of-worship is missing here, add it to the list in the comments."
--- Emily Temple, Flavorwire
