I like the formulaic stuff, although I agree, it is objectively bad.https://twitter.com/TheBrometheus/status/1155630968109064192 …

I’ve got a pile of formulaic pulpy novels by my bedside. I don’t hate them. But they’re not great, and such works won’t produce legacy novels which are handed down as shared works our society can rally around to guide our conversations.

They are pulp. And they’re great authors. But I wouldn’t consider any of their works to be a great novel. Dickens (not American) produced several works which could be considered truly great novels.

That’s tricky. Is it wide enough to appeal to the general public? It’s got to be able to serve as a major connector for the society at large.

This may change with time. Is @NickColeBooks’ Soda Pop Soldier too genre-specific to be a “Great American Novel”? Perhaps now. In ten years when the imagined tech matches our own? It could become the next Great Expectations, a connector piece for all of society to incorporate.
