And on a related note, check out Chauncey Mabe's question over at Open Page: Is Russell Banks (author of The Reserve) the "most important white male writer in America"?
Russell Banks is very good, but I don't think you can seriously say he's more "important" than Don DeLillo, Phillip Roth, or Steve Alten.
