By the way, a lot of the commetee's decisions in the last decades have been political instead of literary statments. Although I agree that some of such decisions had been important, I wish that they would judge the work of written art more again.

Thanks for the suggestions on contemporary American novelists. My library should be useful here.
I agree with your observation on the need for the academy to recognize more the art of writing.
