GREAT. AMERICAN. NOVEL.
Now. Moving on for a minute.

A new Great American Novel is probably due to be written. I know for a fact that there are people (and probably bloggistes) who have the concentration, vision and mental resources to actually put a piece of work together that has the scope of a John Dos Passos or a Don Delillo (or even David Foster Wallace, my opinions all and this is of course just off the top of my head), and hey, who knows, even a Fitzgerald or a Hemingway or a Faulkner or a Burroughs is crawling around out there who can dry out enough to encompass the alpha and the omega of what-all the hell's going on in this decaying dying empire I (and so many of my friends) now call home.
