so I've been reading the more obscure/not popular authors you guys like to talk about. I've noticed that most of their books are well written but just don't amount to much. it's made me think that these authors aren't more popular simply because they aren't very good. if their books were better they would be in a different place. instead of being so rarely read. I honestly need to stop reading these guys because I'm disappointed every time. the books in question are.
john hawkes - The lime twig
william h gass - omensetters luck
william gaddis - the recognitions
joseph McElroy - cannonball
Robert coover - a public burning
what do you guys think of the less read authors? I'm probably just a pleb.

The only one I've read of there is The Recognitions, but you're wrong in saying it doesn't amount to much. It wears its themes on its sleeve very clearly and is a very entertaining book, very funny and tragic.

It's because of feminism. They are pushing YA and genre fiction to breed out whiteness

What does "amounting to much" even mean for you? I think the problem is with you, not the books.

The authors you mention are more "writer's writers". Their books are not meant for public consumption.
