Engdahl

Either Engdahl is asserting that not enough American writers are contributing to some ongoing "dialogue" about literature separate from their own writing, or the allegation is that they don't conceive of their writing as a contribution to "the big dialogue of literature."

American writers are too "insular" in that they don't offer their work as part of a cross-cultural discourse that Engdahl is defining as "literature."

I admit both a professional and personal bias toward American fiction in my own reading habits, but to the extent Engdahl is claiming the greatest contemporary writers are to be found on the continent of Europe, I must further admit I find the notion thoroughly unsupportable.

The prize is flagrantly pro-European (eight of the last 10 laureates have been from Europe) and anti-American (in 2008 the then permanent secretary, Horace Engdahl, described American literature as "too insular", which no doubt helps explain why Cormac McCarthy and Philip Roth haven't won).
