Query: The Sad State of Contemporary Fiction

This book (much like the Scooby Doo Movie which the author also penned) is silly, self involved, and NOT funny. In short: an embarasment. Where are the future Denis Johnson's of the younger generation? Where is the angst of the contemporary American novel? We have too many sellout writing program cookie cutter type writers sans balls and talent who are a blight upon the present literary landscape...give me the real guts of Bukowski...the perversity of Millers, the outlaw spirit of Burroughs...real stuff, not kid stuff like Toy Collector..send this writer back to the play pen.
