I'd also add Levin mowing the wheat in Anna Karina and the Wolf hunt in War and Peace

If a writer writes ONE great book remembered A HUNDRED years after their death, they're GREAT WRITERS...

>I'm a writer myself, and if write a book like this and send it off to traditional publishers, it will be rejected. Better books than this have been rejected or panned, so how does Asimov's book become a classic?
Cringe of the day - because this "author" rejects a classic it must be trash...and they could - obviously, write a better book!

the opening of Don DeLillo's Underworlds - which recreates the National League pennant match in which the New York Giants defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers is one of the most riveting pieces of writing I've ever read. The book didn't live up to the promise, but WHAT an opener!
