The Modern Library: The Two Hundred Best Novels in English Since 1950 - Page 4

This list is derived from the book 'The Modern Library: The Two Hundred Best Novels in English Since 1950' by Colm Tóibín & Carmen Callil.
NOTE: Item 111 should be "The Transit of Venus" by Shirley Hazzard.
The list AFAIK was last published in 2015, but I think it deserves to be unleashed again because some of our newer users may not have come across it. Also IMHO my version is an improvement because it is ordered by publication date (as in the source book), includes all 202 works & the icons I have made/used feature the author's name.
