^ This. The doorstop mentality is the Achilles heel of American literature, even though I know that American culture in general has a "go big or go home" ethos. Still, it would be nice if more critics and authors realized that greatness is frequently a question of luck as well as skill, and if an author simply does his best, he might get lucky and knock it out of the park once or twice over the course of his career.
