Read Heart of Darkness or Lord of the Flies. Sinclair is irrelevant.

North American literature is Faulkner + A Confederacy of Dunces + the first half of Catch 22.

Everything else is "fine" and that's all. I've always felt sympathy for Fitzgerald, but his novels are quite irrelevant. Twain is G rated.

Hemingway is trash.

In poetry Whitman and Ginsberg are great.

And that's the end of North American literature.

You are so narrow-minded, you can see through a needle with both eyes.

Narrow minded ? LOL.

With North America (in this forum) I refer to USA. It's wrong but it's better than USA = America.
