Nobel Judge says Americans caint write no good

[yesdachi]

From the article: ...he said U.S. writers are "too sensitive to trends in their own mass culture," dragging down the quality of their work.

In response (not defense) I would say not every piece of published work is intended to contend for the Nobel Prize in literature. I would add that most writers are looking to fill their pockets with cash and “trends in our own mass culture” are popular and lucrative to write about. I have heard of many writers who sling keys for a living having to take time off to write their novel. Trendy, pop culture sells and most of us have pills to pay.

I have also noticed that guys with butch, feminist wives don’t have much control at home and often belittle people at work to make themselves feel important. BTW did I mention that Horace has a butch, feminist wife?

Eventhough I do not agree with you, I feel an urge to applaud your post...
*and the thing about his butch feminist wife is oh so true, I had to endure a 3 hour seminar with her at university.... Afterwards I was unsure if I should cut off my balls or just shoot her*
