you really want to put up garbage like roth, mailer and bellow against faulkner, mccarthy, mccullers, o'connor, percy, twain, poe, et al.?

“It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us.” Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them.

Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn’t. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters."

Not only a way with words, but a genial, rolling likability & humor to which Jewish writers generally are not attuned. That’s not to say Jewish writers aren’t smart, well-written, & witty. But I think there’s often more of an isolated sniveling meanness behind it, compared to an Irishman regaling a crowd after too many drinks together at the pub.

But now most of us just want to be true to ourselves. Much like the gays, we're losing our edge.

People are cooler when they're held down.

You want proof? Things today are literally better than they ever were and yet people are *more* upset.

Go figure.

ive met some irish at a pub a while ago, and he described them to a tee. jovial one moment, brooding the next. when they are happy they are honestly happy. when jews are smiling and laughing, they still have one eye open for who is going to fuck them.

literally nobody reads "literary" fiction since kikes defined "literary" as useless kike shit

of this list, more than 2% are jews (i count 8 works out of the 100), hence somewhat overrepresented:

http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/

Bellow, E. L. Doctorow, Roth, Heller, Salinger, Nathaniel West, Muriel Spark.

Obviously there are a lot of English and Irish writers on that list. A few Jews sprinkled in as you would expect.

I bet you'd find the same in a list of playwrights, short story authors, essayists, critics, etc.

in contemporary music and art they are certainly well represented.
