They used to be good in the 19th and 20th centuries. Is it because they aren't majority Anglo anymore? I think that's related somehow. The majority of good American writers have an English ethnic background.
>>24577018 (OP)That's good news for me then. My mom and dad are borderlanders.
They are victims of various things because of LEAD CABRIUM MERCURY CHROMIUM CABRIUM ARSENIC & DECADES OF GLYPHOSPHATES that have atrophied the crown chakra and ATTRACTED SUPRAPHYSICAL PARASITES like the TOKOLOSHE and ABBRAXIAE (aka. CLOCKWORK ELVES)
>>24577018 (OP)The endless commodification of society and art eroded the literary spirit of successive generations. The American literary moment peaked in the early 20th century before and during the depression. It survived but began to dwindle after WWII and was essentially gone by the year 2000
>>24577018 (OP)>majority of good American writers have an English ethnic backgroundYou had quality African American writers from the Harlem renaissance all the way to Toni Morrison in the 70s-90s. You're retarded /pol/shit isn't an adequate explanation for the dissolution of literary fiction being relevant in mainstream culture anymore. Stephen King and J.K. Rowling probably have a lot to do with this shift.
>>24577068Idiot, OP is right. His argument is much more compelling and actually has evidence beyond "durr Stephen King"
America was over the moment they decided to give citizenship to non-Anglos and import many of them. As soon as the first micks, first krauts, first wops were allowed in it was game over. Then later groups just gave it the finishing blow.
>>24577078Bro's mind is living in 1908 New York
>>24577101Yes. Not as retarded as modern American writers, THOUGH.
>>24577078>As soon as the first micks, first krauts, first wops were allowed inIf they weren't allowd in to boost white numbers, the former slave population would be 30-40% today of the population, innit?
>>24577018 (OP)>EnglishYou mean Scots, Irish and German.
They have always been mid though.

>>24577850They are important books. I can see that much, which is why I put them in
>>24577874They're not even in Cormac's top 3 and they're not worth preserving instead of other American books.
>>24577857Anglo-Americans are Judeophilic scum who lack culture, etiquette, and basic decency
>>24577879None of that matters. They are important because there is going to be a fusion of arts and sciences sometime later this century.
>>24577886>a fusion of arts and sciences Pynchon did that first (and better) in Gravity's Rainbow.
>>24577882Judeophilia in indeed the weakness of the Anglo which has corrupted their culture beyond repair but it was good while it lasted and it gave us some good literature.
>>24577889>science is just le metaphor for art>or le notBoth pynchon and GR are shit. Postmodernists are too short sighted and have no interest in how science is actually done
>>24577914Ah, so you're just a retard. Glad to get the confirmation.
>>24577926>no uThe postmodern groupies are really retarded.
>>24577931Still better than Corncob McDonalds fan girls
>>24577936>it's an insecure postmodern shitterYou guys are still a thing? Either way it's a fact that something like Stella Maris is levels above postmodern trash in its treatment of actual science. Pynchon, delillo, dfw etc. all bullshit.
>>24577848If you think we're so mid then stop speaking our language
>>24577018 (OP)It’s because Jews got more of a stranglehold on their society around the 1940-1960s
21st century US is stacked though. Cynthia Ozick, Marilynne Robinson, Robert Hass, Sharon Olds, Louise Gluck, Elizabeth Strout, late Roth & Morrison. Adichie arguably counts, educated in US & lives here.
What country has managed better?
>>24577996You mean the 1770's. Washington was literally a freemason. The vice president if the confederate states of America was a Jew
>>24577078Lovecraft? You've discovered interdimensional internet?
>>24578272Hahahahah you really trust American's "self-apported" accounting of their own genetic history? Ask them their past lives: all are even splits between Genghis Khan, Caesar, and Cleopatra.
Can you give me a short list of literature you've read from the 21st century?
What the schizo is this thread?
i think germany is important because that almost was the language or languages or this united states also the influence of german americans also the history that the institution of research universities in germany has had over the last 150 years or why or how that has caused change in literary estimations or thereof or thereby or therein value or values
>>24577084>>24577808>we ARE white! we ARE! stop! stoppit!Go back to eating your bullshit "ethnic" food
>>24578430What can we do to make Deutsch the officla language of the United STates?
>>24577018 (OP)Unironically, everything wrong with America can be put down to what they put in the food.
