Subject: Good prose

I've just finished redaing "Love, ect." and keep on wondering where are all the good writers? I find this book so superficial & boring (with some rare good passages) that I had to resist temptation to throw it right away. I love literature but really struggle to lay my hands on some decent British writer. Sorry, if I am too straightforward, but I guess I am entitled to my opinion. The question that haunts me is the following one - "Are the writers deliberately write all sorts of rubbish books to cater to mass market or they just do not see what rubbish they produce?" Why forty plus dissapointed & cynical ladies march along the pages in thier droves? Is that such an exciting character to work on? What's the message behind? On the second thoughts - give me Golsworthy any day. Probably, I'd better stop buying modern writers.
