>American book
>it says "Now a Major Motion Picture!" on the cover
>the authors name is bigger than the title
>open up the book
>the letters are about twice as big as normal books
>it's written in first person present tense
>every "chapter" is only a couple pages long, we are literally talking about "chapters" that don't make it to their third page
>lots of grammatical and spelling errors
>product placement out the ass
>any "facts" are poorly researched or not researched at all

Why? What's the point of American "literature"?

Gentle reminder that since the end of WWII American literature has been the most poignant, influential, and complex in the world

This is a fucking spot on depiction of The Martian btw. Though the two page chapter thing isn't so much of a problem unless you're only doing it because you're a shit writer.
