Who is left now? I personally think most of the writers out there totally suck.

Whim,
Thank Godzilla that Twain,O' Connor, P.K.Dick and Oscar Wilde are still alive...what? Oh hell.

JS- I need to write to Charlie. Didja know him? Huuuugge KV fan- he had a great blog for a while.

EotR- I think Harry Crews is still alive (I loves me my Southern writers)- and I KNOW Umberto Eco is still kickin' 'cos I just read his latest...Max Barry's 'Jennifer Governmnent' was great- he's a promising and suitably outraged young talent...'course I'm readin' old Jim Thompson novels, so I'm a bit behind.
