why do people say there's no good American writers?

Why would you compare my girl Flan to those autistic fucks

nigga, have you read Peace or The Moviegoer? get the fuck outta here

>american
>good

This, with the beta guy being the rest of the world and Don being America.

Allegedly Pynchon, but I hated col.
He is also said to be a Catholic for some reason.
Flannery and Wolfe are some of my favorite writers.

You have it reversed. The rest of the world pays zero attention to American literature. It's just not part of the conversation.

The point isn't that the rest of the world reads a ton of American lit. It's that they feel the need to be outspoken about how much they don't care for American lit.

My hands feel bigger than usual. Weird.

You forgot ayn rand

>no corncobs
>no pinecone
what a surprisingly memeless list, unless you count wolfe but he's only a minor meme

oh shit i got memed theyre all cathoholics

top kek indeed

We did Arthur Miller, John Steinbeck and Tennessee Williams at A-levels, I liked all of them. I don't know who "people" are.

No, they really don't.

>yfw you realise all US lit is only known because the US has the biggest guns

is there a more un-lit western country?

Wait until we start having Nobel Prize threads again. Like half the posts are just "USA BTFO an American will never win the lit prize because Americans are fat and dumb and don't speak enough languages."

All the best writers are, user

This.

>why do people say there's no good American writers?

how is this a good thing

Milton says go fuck yourself you pope worshipers.

one american writer i love is Thomas Wolfe. lesser known contemporary of Faulkner and Hemmmmmingway.

>Faulkner and Hemmmmmingway.

are they really similar

i meant they were around at the same time. Not that they're similar. Faulkner named Wolfe as the best writer at the time.

Nobody is saying that.
