Can someone — let’s say Jack Vance — write about spaceships and monsters and alien civilizations and still be a great American writer?
Why, exactly, is this a question that needs asking? A great writer is a great writer because they are able to fabricate a fiction in the mind of readers. Literary fiction may deal in near-reality, but any fiction is a fantasy full of “didn’t-happens” that entertain and stretch imaginations.
