Tolstoy said it - “All great literature is one of two stories; a man  
goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town.”

I'm looking for stories where someone comes into a settled community  
and throws it into chaos, leaving the community to examine itself in  
new ways.

Here's the catch, and it's gonna cause me problems: It's for my  
Contemporary Fiction discussion, so I'm especially looking for  
non-genre (even those that "transcend their genre") titles. <winces,  
ducks>

Any suggestions?
