Do you think a good writer can write a book about anything?

It will be good to some extent as long as they are motivated enough to care.
Some authors can probably do better outside their natural environments; for example, dialogue writes will be fine as long as they are allowed to write dialogue.

For the most part though I think a good part of being a writer is quality control. So it might not be great,, but it would be at least readable.

Depends on how much of a headcase they are really. Like some great writer doped up enough to imagine a sentient plug socket would likely do pretty well.

On the other hand someone who specializes in like westerns and the likes will likely have some issues if it's not something they're mind is really built for.

Writing is just the pretentious way to put whatever bullshit you have in your head on paper. So there is no real reason it's impossible but I'd say it's pretty unlikely to get it done well without getting a writer that clicks with the story line.

The face value events in any books are all pretty much symbols. A good writer is someone who chooses the right symbols for the vision he imparts.

So technically 'yes'.

Technically, but it'll still distinctly feel like that specific author's writing so not really. Like, everything pinecone writes feels the same tonally even when the settings are completely different.

I always say if a man can write a story about sentient musical notes having a death match and have it mostly work out then anything is possible.

Is this a real thing or are you just memeing?

I feel like a great stylist would be able to make any novel worth reading.

Depends on how restricting the supplied idea is.

It seems like one of those sillyedgy faux-children's books for borderline-illiterate 20 somethings.

Yes it is a real thing.
