In this glitter age of novels? Good luck sir. Even if you managed to write something good, it wouldn't be studied and the only people who would read it would be fat neckbeards wearing fedoras.

I assume you like good literature, take David Foster Wallace for example. Brilliant writer, yet basically unstudied.

So again I say: Good Luck.

I take it you've never seen the inside of an English department.

That's fairly untrue too. Of contemporary authors, he's probably the one who is written most about, along with various others.

DFW is widely read in contemporary lit classes, survey classes, and even intro classes. You have no idea what you're talking about.
