Really?

en slate.com

The question for all writers, the homecoming ones included, is how to deal with the social and cultural situation dominated by the perversely postmodern Bushist ideology. Its operations make the world, America, and the life of every human being more unreal and fictitious by the day, so plain old literary fiction, versed in the business of producing or deconstructing realities, is going to have to do some work. Contemporary fiction has to develop new models to access, dismantle, and reassemble the fictional world of the Bushed America and thus reinsert facts back into our logical space.

American fiction is going to have to reclaim American reality.
