The "Novel" is dead

I'm not joking when I say Poetry is far more alive and flourishing, even if it has maybe 10 readers per 1000 populace, because even though a lot of it is crap, a lot is going on right now. There are at least three great English poets alive right now, and there are no great novelists other than maybe Delillo.

Infinite Jest is essentially a 21st Century novel.

Just wait for DeLillo and McCarthy's new releases. We'll have good "21st century" literature before the end of this year.
