The thing is, the great writers of the past survive, and the shit writers of their period, who sold a lot of books and got a lot of attention at the time, are forgotten. Meanwhile, in our own day the second-rate commercial writers are getting a lot of attention, so we notice them. That doesn't mean there are no great intellectuals creating new and interesting works that will live for centuries. A hundred years from now, people will be paying attention to the great writers of our period -- writers we may not even be aware of -- and the Koontz's and King's will be largely forgotten.

Never liked Pynchon. in fact, I thought his work was likely superficial with the esotericism and jargon as a cover.

You want good writer?
Try non-english writing made in politically incorrect countries.
It's always a good idea to learn some other languages, because English speaking countries have mostly fallen to the globalists.
Also not trying to be pessimist, but some people are preparing for the worst (future post-white genocide). For example, Jim Rogers, some rich Ron Paul supporter. Heck, even Trump's grandkids are learning Chinese too, preparing for the eventual China becoming world superpower. Heck, even nigletsare doing it too.

Dave Eggers and David Foster Wallace
Granted, Wallace offed himself but he is a pretty recent writer. Eggers seems like a major beta too.

If you're an adult why would you still be reading fiction? Fiction is for women and children; read a fucking book.

Good fiction is better than any movie or tv show out there. You can't always work on stuff, sometimes you need to relax or you just get worn out.
Currently reading 1984. That's some good fiction.

Charles Johnson may be up there. And Cormac McCarthy is still kickin.
