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. Here are 50 of the best.
