You posted him anon. This should be a gass thread now.

>>8265507
Harlan Ellison.

>>8265507
But you just posted him. For those who are interested, some other good ones are Robert Coover, Stephen Dixon, Alexander Theroux, and D. Keith Mano.

Idk, probably one of:

Pynchon
Roth
DeLillo
Ashbery
OP pic related

I'm sure I'm forgetting one or two.

john ashbery or alice munroe

Thomas Pynchon, no contest.

Charles Portis

Yeah probably him.

Although I wouldn't even nominate him for the greatest I think John Crowley is easily one of the greatest. Started AEgypt recently and it's phenomenal.

Munroe is a leaf.

Also Gass is a boring show-offy academical writer who writes like an English professor.

She's great, but Alice Munro is Canadian, bruh.

Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, David Foster Wallace, Kurt Vonnegut, Hunter S. Thompson.

DeLillo, Roth and Pynchon (if he is alive)

>>8265507
Gilliam Liquid.

Tao Lin.

Jim Harrison's got the goods. Plus he has a quintessentially American style and themes.

>Pynchon

He's dead.

>>8268068
Tao Lin is shit? he's basically Bret Ellis for whiny hipsters living in bushwick. I'd rather shove a pack of staples down my urethra then read richard yates again. or god help me, "collected tweets."
