Yes, just as American Psycho represents all American literature.

That book is a modern masterpiece desu fampai.

And so is Bear. But neither book is "what the country's literature amounts to." The statement is nonsensical. It's just one unusual book.
>>9330656
What's wrong with this? Seems like the author is mocking the romance genre, taking 50-shades/vampire-fucker shit-lit to the extreme to demonstrate our degradation.
Or is it completely, unironically, bear porn?
>>9332326
unironically
>>9332326
Neither (it's from 1976, remember). Give it a read.

Jesus Christ, anon, I won't always be here to hold your hand. Read the post I responded to. Try to read it carefully, okay? Note where one of the two options given was "taking 50-shades/vampire-fucker shit-lit to the extreme." Now, if you were thinking, you'd know that both of those examples are relatively modern: 50 Shades of Grey is a novel that was very popular in 2011. The popularity of vampire erotica has a long history, but the poster was probably referencing the surge in popularity of vampire-romance YA that followed the Twilight saga, which started in 2005. Therefore, I pointed out the publication date of Bear because it made it clear that Marian Engel could not possibly have been responding to or parodying those recent bestselling series. Is that plain enough for you, you addled child?
Why is it always bears

How in the fucking world is it possible to miss the point this fucking badly. Is this the power of a canadian?
I would use these books as the fuel to the fire that consumes the author
Bear Fucker! Do you need assistance?

Read carefully, the spelling is important

Oops, looks like I shot one of your bear cousins. Maybe I should make a nice fur coat.
What you looking at, bear boi?
>>9332937
You need to be pretty racist to think all bears are related to one another desu
>>9332946
You bears all look the same to me. If I see a bear, I kill it, unless its in a zoo so I can point and laugh. Sometimes I even let my girlfriend come hunting with me so she can know what a joy it is to put you bear fucks out of your misery.
