All of the best living authors are going to die in the next decade.

All I want is a final Pynchon masterpiece.

>>9116619
Novel - Thomas Pynchon
Novella - Thomas Pynchon
Meme Length Book - Thomas Pynchon

And I'm being serious.

It's not what I would pick but I can't really disagree with you guys

Mccarthy

The rest are meme trash

It's depressing that these hacks are the best modern literature can cobble together.

novel - McElroy
novella - Delillo
meme - McCarthy

I think all except McCarthy has a meme-length book.
No Pynchon because he's been quite prolific lately.
McElroy needs another novel.
Delillo hasn't made anything great in a while, he needs the chance.

Gass is farts.

Alice Munro, 85

Btw, Gass is trash. Unironically kill yourself, pseud.

>>9116682
I don't know which is worse: people who pretend to hate DFW or people who worship him.

I want the door stopper from Ruggles and the novella from Tortilla, I don't carry about the others.

None of these are the best living authors

Right, I can accept Pynchon being one of the best authors alive. But the rest are memes and literally whos

>actors you had a crush on as a child are now going to die soon
fuck you, Harrison Ford

I actually come here every day to check has anyone of these plus Roth croaked.

>Cormac McCarthy has been working on a "long" book for several years now

He's going to die before it's finished isn't he?

>>9117236
The Passenger is supposed to come out next December, Cormac is actually looking decent, I'm more worried about Gass

what about John Barth?
