Most of what Americans consider literary canon is overwrought pseudo-religious dogma, also it doesn't make money/earn respect/mass publicity anymore.
"On August 15, 2011, The New York Observer reported that Lin had sold his third novel, then titled Taipei, Taiwan, to Vintage.[1] Lin's agent, Bill Clegg, brokered the deal with editor Tim O'Connell based on "a 5000-word excerpt and a ~3-page outline", for "$50,000 with a $10,000 bonus if it earns out its advance."

Trying to see whether anything at all is in the canon when it was just written is retarded, canonical works reveal themselves over time

yeah it does seem like it's smaller, but it was definitely a movement of sorts, more I just want to justify drug usage today over writing/reading/doing/etc and discrediting writing/reading seems to be the way to go
