“The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation; the two keep pace in their downward tendency.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
(Gerty certainly did his best to keep Germany afloat! Hmm. I’m just wondering. What was the last good/great work of literature written in the U.S.? I’m pretty much a troglodyte, so I surely can’t answer my own question. Is there hope for America? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Happy Birthday to Billy Idol!
“What was the last good/great work of literature written in the U.S.?”
I don’t know about the last great literature in America, but the last great songs were written by Steven Sondheim:
“Send in the Clowns” and “Ladies Who Lunch” !
Amongst others, lwc! I’ll add a Sondheim song to today’s Jumble Spoiler, just for you, pal. — YUR
How’s this for a Sondheim tribute ?
“Broadway Baby Julia McKenzie; Hey Mr Producer”

Loved it, lwc! Broadway performers are such hams! Always trying to upstage one another. — YUR
