Have just finished the latest Julian Barnes and it got me to thinking just how deeply unfashionable he must be amongst the young turks of today. and then i thought, probably not just him but pretty much every body who was originally on the granta list from the eighties - rushdie, amis, mcewan, winterson.
the question is why?
i know that there are few posters who have anything other than bitter things to say about amis and i've witnessed major slewage on rushdie.
maybe it's because they are the BYTs from my teenage/twenties but i wonder if anyone has a good word to say about these guys besides myself.
i am aware that the heavy dominance of the sci-fi futuristic call it what you will of ballard is the dominant ideology of this place but surely you guys take a break from dystopian visions some time
