Who is the 'greatest living author?'

R.L Stein

>>8238259
Roberto Pinchas
But in all seriousness, it's probably Pynchon.

>>8238261
It's Stine.

>>8238278
I know how to spell my mum's name thank you very much.

Stephen King

>>8238278
That's what they want you to think.

>>8238261
>>8238278
this is almost completely irrelevant but RL Grime is pretty good

Javier Marias

>>8238287
ohmy god no, that's awful. why do people on /lit/ have such terrible taste in music

>>8238287
This isn't good

>>8238297
That's probably some retard from /mu/

Its pretty obviously Gene Wolfe.

>>8238300
Not even the best living American fantasy/sci-fi author who is a white man over age 70

>>8238297
its only terrible in your opinion

>>8238285
Not even the best living fantasy/sci-fi author who is a white man over age 60 and was born in Maine

>>8238298
whatever that was is even worse than what most of the people on /mu/ listen to.
>>8238312
not true, btw.

>>8238317
You're not suppsoed to abbreviate the "by the way" in that meme

>he used the word "abbreviate" unironically

>>8238323
?

Probably Phillip Roth, though I haven't read much of his recent work.

>>8238655
You don't really have to. Of works of his from the 21st century, The Plot Against America is OK (though I know a lot of people love it), and Exit Ghost is worth reading if you've read all of the other Zuckerman books, but the four novels published as "Nemeses" by Library of America aren't supposed to be particularly strong.

>>8238875
What?

>>8238900
Basically, I'm asking if you want to shove your cock in my mouth, because I'm totally down to it if you want to. You suck me and I sucky you, you see? ;)

>>8238906
OK.

Tao Lin raped an underage girl.

>>8238894
in your fucking dreams. delilo has 3 good books max. actually only 2. white noise and libra. maybe underworld

>>8238923
It actually seems like /lit/'s just stopped talking about him since that incident. John Green has taken his place in the internet author meme hierarchy.

>>8238923
wasn't it a tranny or something

>>8238942
A trans man but he or she was a girl when they fucked

>>8238923
they had consensual sex in a state where the age of consent is 16, so no one raped anyone.

>>8238957
Go to bed, Tao.

>>8238933
well memed

Tao Lin or DFW

>>8238993
agreed, desu.

None.

Le "DAE feel like they were born in the wrong generation?" faggot

Mira Gonzalez captures the feeling of being young in the 21st century very well

>>8238957
I might be getting married to a girl thats 16.
I'm 26

>>8241015

I don't feel like that at all.

In fact, that there hasn't been a single good author in over a hundred years is one of the biggest motivations available to any Human Being at present.

The calm before the storm.

>I might be getting married to a girl thats 16.

le humble brag

>>8241031
who was the last good author?

>>8241016
She fucked Sam Hyde

>>8238925
>he didn't get Mao II
>he didn't get The Angel Esmeralda
>he didn't get Ratner's Star

Nevertheless, my vote is for Pinecone

Then you just have awful, awful taste, because that book is brilliant.
