where do you get off dismissing major figures of the 20th century literary canon?

Didn't your mama ever tell you anything about jumping off bridges just because others do it? The day you start worrying about making your own outlook match those of others is the day you may as well stop reading because you're incapable of thinking for yourself. Last I heard, the majority is just as often wrong as they are right. A thousand years from now people will still be quoting Lewis, Twain, and Chesterton. I doubt very much that anyone in AD 3011 will know there ever was a man named Hermann Hesse.
