Who is America's greatest living author?

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

Harlan Ellison.

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)

Gilliam Liquid.

Tao Lin.

>academical

Harold Bloom n Onion

Der Pynchmeister

Stephen king

>living
okay

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

Oh wait, he died earlier this year :(

Tao Lin and Jonathan Franzen, desu.
i just got a copy of Middle C on bargain at my local bookstore, though. excited.

user...

>Pynchon

He's dead.

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."

you may be retarded.
