I loves me some Ellison, but he's just one of the people who would get crucified. Joseph Conrad would be a horror writer, James Joyce would be a pornographer, Austen would be a romance novelist and Ayn Rand would be stupid because she sucks. Although that deflects the point. It's kind of like how the Kindle is eliminating browsing. As a culture, we're selectively breeding out surprise.
