Franzen? DFW?? Don't know them, don't care.
Times change and culture changes.
And in a fragmented market of abundance, one person's must read is many others' "meh".
On the other hand, everybody knows who Spielberg, Coppola, and Cameron are.
Whedon is getting close, I think.
(I'm looking forward to his take on Much Ado...)
The "Great American Novel" long ago stopped being any kind of cultural benchmark.
Like, *generations* ago.
