Another great American novel you should read is Upton Sinclair's'The Jungle '
This novel, published in 1906, created an uproar in USA., and led to major legislative reforms regarding food safety.
Upton Sinclair wrote the novel to expose the appalling working conditions in the meat-packing industry. His description of diseased, rotten, and contaminated meat shocked the public and led to new federal food safety laws.
Americans are consumers of a huge amount of meat. This led to a massive meat processing and packing industry in America.
At the time the novel was written, the meat processing was done in horribly unsanitary conditions, and the meat sold contained all kinds of filth, but the consumer was unaware of this. So Sinclair disguised himself as a worker and took a job in one of the meat processing plants, where he worked for several weeks, studying the conditions there.
