Who is the best writer alive?

pinchin

krasznahorkai

Franzen

This , delillo, krasznahorkai are the only ones I know. Theres probably some obscure ones from east europe that no one reads that are good. I read a couple of pages from book of numbers by josh cohen the other day and I was impressed. Maybe him one day?

Me

And mccarthy who probably wrote the best book since modernism died.

It's me. Fuck off fraud.

Cohen is a fucking retard. He's not even good enough to be called a hack.

ME

my diarrhea desu

Really? What I read seemed pretty good. Why's he less than a hack

>josh cohen
go back to bed josh, even if you were able to imitate joyce there's no point to it

Hard to get a satisfying answer here. As soon as a writer gains a bit of fame, Veeky Forums turns its patrician back to them.

Seriously can anyone articulate why he's bad? Like I said I was impressed by only a few pages and heard only good things elsewhere.

Pynchon, Krasznahorkai, McCarthy

Can we agree on these?

Would be cool to get a contemporary authors chart

Houellebecq

Chuck Palahniuk

Cormac McCarthy

Based Franzen

Went on a contemporary lurk the last few months and I got a small list.

Cormac McCarthy (read all his stuff)
Valeria Luiselli (read all her stuff)
Evan Dara (Read The Lost Scrapbook and Easy Chain, haven't gotten to Flee yet.)

Elena Ferrante isn't the level of the forementioned but she is good too

And Bolaño though recently passed is worth mentioning.

Alberto Laiseca

Dan Schneider

If we cannot choose ourselves, then Dan Schneiders wife, Jessica Schneider

Chuck Tingle
