Solipsistic Propagandists

Anecdodtal Evidence has some worthwhile comments on three great enemies of literature: (a) solipsists; (b) propagandists; and (c) solipsistic propagandists. He doesn't seem to consider, however, the possibility that any of these might be iterature. But what of, say, John Kennedy Toole? Or Curzio Malaparte? Or the greatest of all solipsist/propagandists, Fr. Rolfe?
