1. Kajii Motojiro
2. Mikhail Sholokhov
3. Mao Dun

>William Butler Yeats
>Lady Gregory
>Samuel Beckett

>saucy journalese next to Proust and Nabokov
"no"

Novelists only, no particular order : Musil, Proust, Joyce.

Joyce is the only one i’m willing to reconsider.

Anyone who says Borges is a true scholar.

>solzhenitsyn

Solzhenitsyn is a good writer of prose, like all Russians. THey're passionate - something Americans lack. I don't know if its just be but I really dig the liberal use of exclamation points in Russian literature, especially in people like Solzhenitsyn or Dostoevksy.

this is you warosu.org/lit/thread/S10132356#p10133514

I'm not American faggot. Holy kek.

Great frog image

Mate, do the world a favor and kill yourself today

>CPAP Family of the Year
>the, "where did it all go wrong?" gaze on the husband

>Solzhenitsyn meme
Why do they do this? Is this all Kermit's influence?

>Giorgio Manganelli
His reflections on the relationship on art and truth (namely, the literature has always been "deceitful and immoral, heretic and whoreish", among other things), along with his gargantuan, protean vocabulary and prose style, place him above any other writer of the last century

>Ernst Jünger
His prose is possessed by an immortal quality, employed in the pursuit of images of power, beauty and humanity; to read him is to allow oneself to experience a brief parenthesis of all too human godhood

>William S. Burroughs
In his desperate fight against the virus of language, he still managed to produce some of most entraqncing sequences of prose in the English language. Typhoid Bill is too pestilent to ignore, a sacred lunatic we should all respect and cherish.

Borges
Yeats
Bosco

...

Franz Kafka
John Steinbeck
Virginia Woolf

>frogposter
>puerile opinions
>Peterson bandwagoner

you really have the whole package going don't you op?

>Manganelli
MIO NEGRO
Finally someone else mentions him on this godforsaken board. It's a shame he isn't well know outside of Italy

As far as I know, the only book of his translated in English is Centuria, sadly. Plenty of them in French, though!

E anche in Italia il poveraccio è sconosciuto, per la maggior parte.

>Joyce
>Gaddis
>Proust

Can be subbed in: Kafka, Musil, Beckett.

>these writers are invalidated because someone I don't like references them ahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So what part of Peterson's personality detracts from the merit of a completely separate author's work? Or do you just subscribe to an inverse cult of personality?

>20th century
>Proust
