1,001 Novels: A Library of America

For five years I’ve read classic novels of American life, and stories deeply embedded in the many regional places of the United States, with the intent of placing them—literally—on a map.

1,001 Novels: A Library of America is an ESRI story map developed by Susan Straight. The story map features short reviews of 1,000 American novels. Each novel is geolocated on a map of the United States. The story map is divided into geographic regions. You can also view the entire map at once.
