is franzen the only living truly great american author?

>Franzenstein
>great

He's not looking too good.

>>8410595
no, franzen is not good

That's not Wolfe nor Roth.

Even though Pynchon is a worse writer, he's better a better choice if you like memes like I do.

>>8410910
Yes he is

>>8411388
no

>>8410595
answer from a logical point of view: no
from a conversational point of view: what the fuck are you thinking
from a local point of view: what the fuck are you thinking, baiting your line with a mediocre author instead of a terrible one? subtlety isn't required here

>>8410595
he and stephen king look really similar

>>8410595
Franzen is damn great, but a lot of those old cats are still around (Barth, DeLillo, Roth). I'd put those guys above Franzen.

>>8410595
Nah
David Foster Wallace is the most underrated contemporary american author alive
