If you want to change things in the USA it's best not to spend all your time writing but to take action against the ol' sea of troubles.

I don't have a philosophy. I have an instinct. I accept stuff that I like.

I'm an only child and an American and am wholly in favor of uniqueness of voice in everything, especially music and writing.

Having a voice unlike another means you've "found yourself" as a writer.

I really wouldn't call a lot of what's online "literature" since that word, to me, refers to a sub-genre of writing that belongs to the heavy-hitters, the canonical writers, Shakespeare, Dante, Milton, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and even Toni Morrison, George Saunders, Thomas Bernhard, Sebald, Borges, DFW, e.g.

The problem with the term "The New Fiction" is that the fiction will inevitably be old. The same could have been said about the work of any generation of writers.
