>>2528719395 is nothing. You can start worrying in a decade.
You missed Kazuo Ishiguro, who is 71.
Yes, literature is dying. Any more realizations?

its time for you to take their place anon.
>>25287193Anon, by the time you can list these people as “canon” in some form or other, they are necessarily on death’s door. Nobody wants to be caught out promoting some 30 year old talent, what if the hivemind rejects them? What if nobody knows their work? What if the book was a fluke?No, safest for any fartsmeller to wait to list such “greats” when we know for sure what their catalog looks like and what the general reception to their life’s work was.Instead of being a little bitch about it tell us what your under 40 authors of note are. >i don't read any haha everything is shitYou are the problem. >i don’t dare mention anyoneSee above.
