Its reputation as a "great American novel" was established. Only in the 20th century after the 100th anniversary of the birth of its author. William Faulkner said he wanted to write this book himself, while DH Lawrence called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful books in the world" and " The Greatest Ocean Book".
