Why don't women write big ambitious novels?

Women approach the world with an attitude of resolution-seeking. They mimic, and reconstrue, and make amends, but never create. For them, a thing is never more than itself.

Middlemarch - George Eliot

Janet E. Morris is always a Fun read

>Faces at lunch, oh, yes, smirking, lordly, bored or weary – here and there a flash of passion, of dreams or loving seriousness; these signs I saw, notwithstanding the sweep of a fork like a Stuka dive-bomber, stabbing down into the cringing salads, carrying them up to the death of unseen teeth between dancing wrinkled cheeks; a breadstick rose in hand, approached the purple lips in a man's dull gray face; an oval darkness opened and shut and the breadstick was half gone!

Pure Scheisse, people who read Vollmann are masochists too dangerous not to be put in a mental asylum.

Main Currents of Marxism: The Founders, The Golden Age, The Breakdown

Looks like something worth reading albeit with a grain of salt.

UMMM Harry Pooter? Aiiyn Rand's Atlast Shrugged? C'mon, bro.

Vollmann is mocking DFW in this excerpt. He really didn't like him

>George Eliot

Everything is derivative, so everything you just said applies to everyone.
