I've read a few of Kosinski's novel's - a friend was a fan of his - and didn't really like any of them. I didn't really have a problem with the subject matter; I've read far more shocking stuff. I just find his style awkward, and I have little sympathy with his characters. The protagonists all seem to be aloof, superior, detached, surviving by manipulating the faceless mass around them. There has of course been speculation that this was the way he saw himself; it may or not be the case, but it certainly does not build a character that I can easily feel with. I have no idea who I think is the greatest writer of all time; I am probably most likely to be found re-reading Conrad, Borges, Shaw, or Wilde than any others. Possibly because I have lots of their stuff around the house.
