You didn't ask me, but you know how little I worry about such things. ;)

It has to be either Norman Mailer, or Tom Wolfe ...uhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...Wolfe.

I like your graphic a great deal, but I'll have to disagree with you to some extent about Tom Wolfe - Bonfire of the Vanities was awful, but The Right Stuff and Radical Chic... most decidedly were not. Normal Mailer is bad, but not as awful as Gore Vidal. Truman Capote, I was once told, is an acquired taste. I never acquired it. Likewise, John Steinbeck I adjudge a fine writer of fiction, yet I've always despised his desolate, irredeemable sense of life as well as the pathetic hopelessness of his characters.
