Greatest American writer?

Greatest American writer?

I'm reading Wise Blood now and I think O'Connor is one of the best, but I don't think I could say greatest.

No. Not even close.

Bill Gray.

Virginia Woolf etc etc

I'm currently reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn though, and really loving it, so I suppose Betty Smith is alright as well.

For me it's her, Melville, Faulkner, Stein, and Pynchon.

virginia woolf is not american you fuck whore ass

I AM SORRY

My brain ignored the "American" I guess. Plus I'm drunk.

Betty Smith then.

BETTY SMITH BETTY SMITH BETTY SMITH

Also, Jane Austen.

Also I thought this thread was asking for female authors only.

I guess I'll be heading for bed. GOOD NIGHT Veeky Forums
