Voices of our Generation

My mom saved me an article from the July issue of "Time" magazine about the current young (under 40ish) writers. While I don't usually read all the articles my mom saves up, I decided to procrastinate and read it through. The author is lamenting the loss of a group of young writers who will define the current generation. She begins the article by saying David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen and others are a little old to be defining the current young generation. Of course, we can take issue with that as we like (I absolutely LOVE Franzen and others in his "group" and I can certainly identify with them and their writing) yet the question is: where are the young writers?
