Why are there no great writers anymore?
Don’t be stupid. There are. Thomas Pynchon. Margaret Atwood. Don DeLillo. Harold Pinter. Paul Auster. Chinua Achebe. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Günter Grass. Brian Friel. Seamus Heaney. Richard Dawkins (a bad TV presenter but a science writer of genius). Constance Congdon. Tony Kushner. Terrence McNally. Janet Malcolm. David Thomson (a great film critic, and great critics are hard to come by). David Grossman. Amos Oz. Mahmoud Darwish. David Mamet. Caryl Churchill. Wallace Shawn. Michel Tremblay. Paul Schrader (a great screenwriter, like his films or not). Your question has been asked for hundreds of years, and has only ever been about the questioner’s ignorance.
