From Leslie Epstein's review of THE BLACK SWAN, by Jerome Charyn (p. 13):

Anyone looking back over the last century can mark the progressive
enfeeblement of the literary imagination by comparing the best novels of
its first half, incontestably "Ulysses" and "Remembrance of Things
Past," with those of its second -- perhaps "Midnight's Children," perhaps
"Lolita."
