A guy writing for a newspaper of my country is saying that political wounds bleeding at the moment in Europe is strongly tied to the refutation and disgust the urban people have developed for the countriside people. You may call it a large scale elitism.
So as only city people ever seem to produce importabt works, even if they only make half of the country populations, can there be no /lit/ from that demogeaphic?
a lot of /lit/ is produced in inbred country, but it wouldn't be surprising if city people produced more literature, wealth and education predispose you to it.

That's a rather cavalier hypothesis your newspaper guy is holding there.
Anyway, there is a country literature, as much as there is a proletarian one. It just hasn't the same channels of publicity than more legitimated (I didn't say "legitimate") ones. Sadly, I couldn't help and quote any authors, probably for this very reason...
Literature has definitely shifted dramatically towards the metropolitan in the past two centuries or so, I can think of a few well-recieved authors who live in and/or write about "the countryside" of the past few decades

What did DFW write that was not urban/suburban?

I don't exactly know anything about him but didn't he live in a rural area for some major stretch of his life? I remember hearing a possibly true rumor about him being a member of a mennonite church.
