You should be happy that literature is not popular because then you would get a bunch of imposter meme artists get all the praise like /tv/ and /mu/ get Kanye West or Wes Anderson, total shit artists praised as the next big thing. /lit/ never produce these memes cause there is no reddit-bucks in it.

What's wrong with Junot Diaz?
I love Oscar Wao, as a mixed race person it had a lot to say about race identity in society.
Maybe it's because white people wouldn't understand the themes.
kanye west is the kanye best... OP never fails to be gay

Wes Anderson is actually good, you should watch his other movies before comparing him to Kanye. are you that abysmal faggot who hates everything new and wasn't made by a soviet director?

Aldous was more of a thinker than a literary writer guy, which I think is generally understood.
