I hope you're using "post-modernist shills" ironically.

It looks like a runway if you use your imagination

He's overly sentimental and does way too much self insertion

you did't like Dick Swiveller or Quilp in Curiosity Shop? - Little Nell is ludicrously dull though
The Pickwick Papers and Hard Times are his other ESSENTIAL works, almost everything he wrote is good though (and canonical if that concerns you)

everybody who likes Dickens should read Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair'; arguably the best victorian novel

Dicken's sentimentality is only egregious in a few cases though really, Dostoevsky is easily as sentimental - Raskolnikov and Sonia; arguably the final passage of Brother K, Verkohevensky's death in Demons - if not more so.

Self-Insertion is not adequate grounds for criticism; cf. Chaucer, Dante, Huysmans etc.

because he's shit

so its impossible for you to reply to a thread and not be a faggot?

vertically or horizontally

Vertically, until it gets bumpy

I feel like perhaps you didnt come up with this yourself
