Fwd: John Williams Considers the Literary Western (or Lack Thereof) c. 1961 | Literary Hub

[Mark Kohut]

This is the novelist who wrote Stoner and other works. This is from 1961.
This starts with fine words on that Pynchonian--American--theme of New
England religiosity,
Calvinism, so to label it and attendant ideas.

It moves to seeing that Good-Evil calvinism in western fiction. Sometimes
overcome with
Grace, the Emerson infusion. (see Emerson allusions early in ATD).

Interesting as fuck. (that's a high lit-crit term) To me.
