When exactly did American literature ascend to its modern day status as the most influential, entertaining, innovative and rewarding national literature on the planet?

I think it was probably after WWII, but there were portents of its coming dominance over European literature during the interwar period.

They gave Dylan the nobel as a joke.
The US deserves way more nobels than it has, fuck, they should at least offer one to Pynchon so he can not show up to get it.

Dylan was such a waste of the American male Nobel prize winning slot.
