Mailer and Updike aren’t going anywhere. The Naked and the Dead is the best novel of WW II. The Rabbit novels are the definitive chronicle of American suburbia in the mid to late 20th Century.

What 20th Century writers do you think are doomed to literary oblivion in the decades to come? . . . . I’m thinking John Updike, John Cheever (already in oblivion, perhaps), Norman Mailer. I worry about Anthony Powell. Christopher Isherwood, an amazing writer, I fear has received his sentence of obscurity. Muriel Spark is another fine writer, likely hit with the big literary sleep. Who else?
