ITT: most overrated writers.

>not realizing kafka is supposed to be funny

I realize this is just /pol/ but Kafka, if anything, is underrated. How many authors' surnames have added an adjective to the language?

(And some people still have no idea what Kafkaesque means exactly ... they think it's turning into an insect)

>not undemanding jewish nepotistic meming

...

John Milton is a talentless hack.

Way to legitimize your own thread

>most overrated writers.
Pic related.

Pleb award: Hemingway, not because some of his stuff isn't interesting, but because of the simple style he became hitched to has made literature worse off.

Pleb who thinks he's a patrician award: Gass and Proust, both proof that time to write is wasted in the wrong hands.

why would someone go through with photoshopping the patch on him lol its so unnecessary. 10/10 pic tho

I think literary prowess was secondary consideration for that guy, Sternberg.

Butterfly boy.

“There are two kinds of pity. One, the weak and sentimental kind, which is really no more than the heart's impatience to be rid as quickly as possible of the painful emotion aroused by the sight of another's unhappiness, that pity which is not compassion, but only an instinctive desire to fortify one's own soul agains the sufferings of another; and the other, the only one at counts, the unsentimental but creative kind, which knows what it is about and is determined to hold out, in patience and forbearance, to the very limit of its strength and even beyond.” - Adolf Hitler, the most Jewish thinker that ever lived.

The whole Elizabethan period is a clusterfuck, truly the dark age of literature

He is funny, but not for the tortured non-reasons that DFW gives. It’s really not that complicated, just slapstick and absurdism with a deeply insightful psychological base that makes it hit home

This. His prose style is ornate, but ultimately superficial, IMO

Woolf

>Proust
Fucking anglo. Go back to Hemingway's « interesting stuff ».

TS Eliot is a horrible meme
Shantih Shantih normies reeeee

Eliot is great.

What are these things « » called? Russians use them too.

fuck off, Kafka is GOAT

>not realizing OP's race baiting

>No Borgesian

Jewish privilege is real

Guillemets, in french at least. Our equivalent of “ ”.

No, Kafka's actually a bad writer, and is only thought to be otherwise for reasons of forced high school curricula and the teenage penchant for liking transgressiveness strictly for the sake of it.

woah woah woah, some pretty great poetry came out of the baroques.

George R.R. Martin

You misunderstand Kafka so badly.
>the possible for me is impossible

>How many authors' surnames have added an adjective to the language?
>joycean, dantesque, dostoevskian, faustian, kantian, nietzschean, proustian

Why was she trying to scare herself?

you made up 5 of those

don't forget Sade and Masoch

Eliot is the king
