No. Also, most of the people you posted don't tend to do it for prose-fags, unless they're the kind that think something is good based on the sole merit of the quality of the usage of close-third.

If the prose is good they can write whatever they want, it will be good. If the plot is good, I don't think that can carry bad prose. One book with bad prose but good plot I can think of is the Dexter books, but even that got to be too much for me. And maybe even then it wasn't bad prose, just very dumbed-down.

i don't know any of these authors except dallas-fort worth, al franken, and ayaan hirsi ali.

Absolutely.

Prosefags believe that if it looks good they can write about a man taking a shit and it should be hailed as high art.
