Roth may have some readers left, but he doesn't have fedora-tipping fanboys like DFW does.

An example of what will likely happen with Roth is what's happened to Bellow: Over a decade since his death, Bellow is still 'known', but hardly read by anyone; give it another decade and he may be virtually forgotten. And Bellow was twice the writer that Roth was.

>>14018164
Both Bellow and Roth were shit writers because they were semites and semites are shit writers. That's the reason nobody cares about them besides jews, and both are inapt for being introduced into the youth brainwashing curriculum like Kafka and Salinger, so you can't create a fake institutional aura around them to fool whites into believing they were good writers.
