This guy is a great writer. I vaguely remember having a read a few of his short stories in a high school class. It seems kind of odd that he isn't talked about that much, or propped up as a major American writer. I mean, maybe he is, since I read him in school, but I'm talking about outside of school. And I didn't even remember I read him until I read "A Watcher by the Dead" this morning.

I understand why the 20th century seems to overshadow all literature these days, but I don't understand why we give it so much space, especially for leisure reading.
