None of them can be geniuses, so what's the point? Seems like a big waste of time.

LeGuin
Unless Highsmith counts

Alice Munro

Anne Carson

>>8680116
I read Visit from the Goon Squad a few years back and thought that was pretty good, apart from that awful """""experimental""""" powerpoint section that went on way too long.

I don't read a lot of contemporary fiction, but yeah I'd probably go for Jen Egan then.

Lydia davis

A. M. Homes
Jeanette Winterson
Sarah Vowell
Sontag, too, but not her fiction

Arendt probably isn't contemporary? She's godtier though.

Like Kingsley Amis I'm entirely homosexual when it comes to writing.

Which was a mean thing for Kingsly Amis to say given he was married to Elizabeth Jane Howard at the time.

I want to fuck the shit out of megan boyle while she rants about how fucked her life is.
I'm already thinking she only dates normies who are dumber than her

i want me some crazy pussy asap

I can assure you 98% of the time women "Artists" will only ever talk about how they are feminist and fighting the man even though they are stupid successful and really have nothing to fight anymore.
The only thing im interested in a female is her throat.

Catherynne Valente. Her Fairyland series was great for young readers, but Deathless was a fascinating re-imagining of Russian folklore, the two Orphan's Tales books were insanely complex (each story contains another and another nested and folded into each other) and the Omikuji project was wonderful. Her love of dense lush description would make most lit folks hate her, but I'm always curious to see what her new projects will look like.

>>8680116
I guess Munro or Robinson doesn't count.

valeria luiselli

>>8682921
I have the first book of her fairyland series. I figured it would be generic and dull, is it actually worth a read?

There's nothing wrong with being a faggot senpai, just don't do it in public.

None. They're all shit. Just like their male peers.

Nobody who has an intimate relationship with suffering (aka ARTISTS) are pushed to the top of the publishing world.

Alexandra Kleeman t2bqh. On reflection though, my opinion's pretty worthless, because a lot of my enjoyment of her works comes from relating to characters.
