Alexis di Toqueville's neglect of the understanding of American literature can be chalked up to his poor
understanding of the "Scarsacian Theory of Literature" which states that a nation can have a literature if only one
person of its citizenry is a writer and that is proven by "Purple Pachydermia", the essay by renown satirist Buchanan Clay
In this work, Clay maintains that his small island nation of Wakandalala has a literacy rate of .01%, yet because he is
an author, he represents that nation's national literature.
