I'm calling it now, the next great American Novel will be about a fucking weirdo on a train

[jayalaw]

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

[amtrak-official]

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

[gwenadier]

Nonsense, you’ve got ‘Neuromancer’ and ‘Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep’ and all of Asimov’s works

[amtrak-official]

Fair point, we still need more sci fi works though
