The dominant institutions of 20th century American literature, and culture in general, where created by the CIA in order to wage subliminal warfare on behalf of the american ruling class, given the US victory in the cold war and the universalisation of american culture, is it possible to create meaningful art or have our minds already been bent in such a way that what we think is creativity will always be a reproduction of the american ideology?

Everything in the culture argues against the novel, particularly the novel that tries to be equal to the complexities and excesses of the culture. This is why books such as JR and Harlot’s Ghost and Gravity’s Rainbow and The Public Burning are important—to name just four. They offer many pleasures without making concessions to the middle-range reader, and they absorb and incorporate the culture instead of catering to it.
These books and writers show us that the novel is still spacious enough and brave enough to encompass enormous areas of experience. We have a rich literature. But sometimes it’s a literature too ready to be neutralized, to be incorporated into the ambient noise. This is why we need the writer in opposition, the novelist who writes against power, who writes against the corporation or the state or the whole apparatus of assimilation. We’re all one beat away from becoming elevator music.

The CIA is a bureaucracy that is given far too much credit, based purely off of its bumbling handling of some muddled assassinations in the 70s and its shitty handling of MKULTRA. It is a denuded organization that has been usurped by the NSA and has not and does not greatly effect American culture, except for a mythology propagated by tinfoilers.
