DANCES1HORSES........Unless you are writer for the NY Times Book Review, I do not believe you have the authority to state who is or may be famous in the world of literature.Have you read Burroughs? Do you know who he is or what he wrote? If you do, great, if you do not, then I am sorry that you have not tried him but in the times of the Beat Generation, he was and continues to be considered a phenomonon amongst American authors. One does not need to be a Hawthorne, Twain or Higgens Clark, to be considered famous. Try expanding your horizons and if you do not want to come across as a dolt, at least read the Book Review or RD Condensed Versions b4 you comment on who is and who is not, famous.
