They dont read any other language.

I am not sure how many langauges James Baldwin read, but he was certainly one of the twentieth century's supreme artists.

And as far as I know, Patrick White also knew only one language. He was as provincial as they come and one of the masters of the English language in the second half of the twentieth century.
