>20th century American literature
It's no coincidence that this movement has at its heart the boneheaded and barely literate. Their prose can barely be called such - it has been chopped down to just the bare bones necessary to convey thought. It is without substance or beauty, but it served to finally make distinctive the American literary character from that of the European, so the campuses of the USA have latched on to it with the desperate strength of a drowning man to a bit of wormwood eaten driftwood. Believe me, outside of your country, Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Hemingway are not studied widely, and with good reason.

Didn't Faulkner influence literally every postwar French writer? If I remember right, Sartre drooled over The Sound and The Fury when most of America treated Faulkner as a minor backwoods curiosity at best. Plus Faulkner gave Marquez and Cruz the spark to start the Latin American boom. I can't speak to the other two, but Faulkner's astoundingly influential, probably more so abroad than at home

Perhaps I couldn't even have wanted more than that, couldn't have accepted less, who even at nineteen must have known that living is one constant and perpetual instant when the arras-veil before what-is-to-be hangs docile and even glad to the lightest naked thrust if we had dared, were brave enough (not wise enough: no wisdom needed here) to make the rending gash. Or perhaps it is no lack of courage either: not cowardice which will not face that sickness somewhere at the prime foundation of this factual scheme from which the prisoner soul, miasmal-distillant, wroils ever upward sunward, tugs its tenuous prisoner arteries and veins and prisoning in its turn that spark, that dream which, as the globy and complete instant o f its freedom mirrors and repeats (repeats? creates,reduces to a fragile evanescent iridescent sphere) all o f space and time and massy earth, relicts the seething and anonymous miasmal mass which in all the years of time has taught itself no boon o f death but only how to recreate, renew; and dies, is gone, vanished: nothing-but is that true wisdom which can comprehend that there is a might-have-been which is more true than truth, from which the dreamer, waking, says not 'Did I but dream?'but rather says, indicts high heaven's very self with: 'Why did I wake since waking I shall never sleep again?'

When has instituted art ever been good? Did Melville, Twain, Dante, Homer, or Shakespeare have degrees. Dostoevsky went to a Russian university in the 1800's lol. Salinger also didnt have a degree. The system shrinks minds, which is why contemporary literature is so horrible. Thinking like a normie and telling people what they want to hear will make you money (Jordan Peterson), but won't produce great work.

Dosto was fairly well-educated for his time, Shakespeare attended gammar school though he could not graduate because his father went bankrupt. Dante was notoriously educated in the letters and sciences of his day.

Also you've provided examples of great writer without degrees, to have a case you should compare them in quantity and importance to writers who had a degree. Then you'd have to explain why you conflate "writers with a degree" with "instituted art". You can be college-educated and direct most of your writing in anger at the institutions.

However poorly argued, though, I agree with your general point. You needn't a degree to be a great writer, only some form of education in verbal expression and observation, which can come by in a variety of non-institutional ways.

Why is it that every modern female writer is a Feminist?
Don't they realise the greatest female writer (Emily Bronte) was a Christian?
Why can't women write about other things rather than female rights?
Even the male writers who write on and on about masculinity hardly dwell on the politics of masculinity. It's mostly spoken for.
Why would Kafka feel the need to explain the root cause of his characters?
The whole point of a good story is that you discover what the character is like and their aims are as it moves along.
I find it funny that feminists hate Ayn Rand because most all of these feminist novel are: Character is "feminist ideology", villain is "anti-feminist ideology".
Snooze.
