I'm calling it now, the next great American Novel will be about a fucking weirdo on a train
Great in which genre? Since a lot of us speculative fiction writers could probably do an awesome train story. But most of the American novels taught in high school and such don’t have dragons
Honestly, I think Sci Fi/Speculative Fiction given that the American Literary Canon is sorely lacking in books of that genre apart from Dune and Enders Game
