The Great British Novel

[rowens]

I've already given my answer to the American novels that I relate to the most and the British one. I don't know what it's like to be British. And American culture tends to be dismissive of anything they can't use to advertise a product. They use Whitman for that now. Used to be: Walt Whitman, an American, a kosmos. That is and always has been sneered at by Americans, except for the ones who are inspired by getting sneered at. All original American art was taken to Europe to be refined then brought back to America to be sold. Except for the blues, which has been refined but has never surpassed its origins. And I don't know what it's like to be British. I suppose, like America, it involves a lot of internet use and drugs.
