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.
You dismiss the whole of North American literature (which includes Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean as well as the United States, mind you) with the exception of Faulkner, Whitman, Ginsberg and two other novels (actually, one whole novel and a portion of another) and expect me or anyone else to take you seriously? No chance.
I repeat the accusation, sir. You are narrow minded if this is really your perspective on North American literature.
