This line really speaks to the notion that the Great American Novel is a relic of a time far removed from today’s literary and publishing landscape.

It’s a reminder that clinging to outdated ideals can hold writers back from embracing the more diverse, dynamic forms of storytelling available now.

We need to evolve with the times and recognize that the modern reader craves stories that reflect contemporary experiences, not just those that fit into a centuries-old mold.
