Allegedly Pynchon, but I hated col.
He is also said to be a Catholic for some reason.
Flannery and Wolfe are some of my favorite writers.
>>7997292
You have it reversed. The rest of the world pays zero attention to American literature. It's just not part of the conversation.
>>7997387
The point isn't that the rest of the world reads a ton of American lit. It's that they feel the need to be outspoken about how much they don't care for American lit.
My hands feel bigger than usual. Weird.

We did Arthur Miller, John Steinbeck and Tennessee Williams at A-levels, I liked all of them. I don't know who "people" are.
>>7997392
No, they really don't.

>yfw you realise all US lit is only known because the US has the biggest guns
is there a more un-lit western country?
>>7997466
Wait until we start having Nobel Prize threads again. Like half the posts are just "USA BTFO an American will never win the lit prize because Americans are fat and dumb and don't speak enough languages."

Milton says go fuck yourself you pope worshipers.
one american writer i love is Thomas Wolfe. lesser known contemporary of Faulkner and Hemmmmmingway.
>>8001198
>Faulkner and Hemmmmmingway.
are they really similar
>>8001200
i meant they were around at the same time. Not that they're similar. Faulkner named Wolfe as the best writer at the time.
>>7997263
Nobody is saying that.
