There is actually an entire field dedicated to the study of the American West. I think the west coast gets really interesting in the 1980s when things get decidedly postmodern, because really, is there a more postmodern place than LA? It IS the fucking simulacra. The east seems to breed more “respectability. But I mean, c’mon, what about the south? or the midwest? I think southern literature is extra interesting. Flannery O’Conner, Edgar Allen Poe, etc. The south doesn’t get the cultural credit it deserves.
