Much talk right now on the Internet and the airwaves about next week’s NFL (National Football League) draft. Which will happen roughly the same time we’ll announce the #1 seeds for the upcoming All-Time American Writers Tournament.

The one person, let’s say, to represent American literature to the world. A world which has created a host of great writers.

Walt Whitman? William Faulkner? Toni Morrison? Someone else?
