    i wonder what the cultural vibe is in countries that view art with reverence.

    people in america aren’t looking at the bigger picture–this country has NEVER cared about art or artists.

    is jazz on pop radio? does your average american give a shit about impressionism or even know what the fuck it is?

    so, why would they care about the average novelist? does your typical american even fucking read?

      I have a feeling I would be very angry at this, if I could finish sounding out the letters!

      I wouldn’t even say it’s just American’s, it’s worldwide. Most societies don’t value or appreciate art unless it’s easily consumable slop that makes them feel better about their existence.
