I agree with him, except for:
>historical, temporary art form
of course, no art form can be "temporary", there's no way to "transcend" an art form.

Other than that, none
Cees Nooteboom - Rituals
William H Gass - The Tunnel
Roberto Bolano - 2666
Rachel Kushner - The Flamethrowers
If you consider college students to be children.
