Franzen

this 2bh

He so badly wants to usurp DFW's rep. Prolly been jealous of all the hype Wallace has been getting posthumously.
>thinks he's zany
>thinks he's properly framed America's neurosis

Also, he talked shit about E.M. Forster. So fuck him tbqh.

He talked shit about a whole host of people and basically dismissed Gaddis, Hawkes, Pynchon, etc. as angry young men/writers for angry young men. He's the inbred pseudo intellectual spwan of all the bastards who should've never been allowed anywhere near literature.

I'm not fucking reading all that. are you retarded?

Is he kinda like Jane Austen, Dickens and those types?

Sounds like I'd really like franzen

Go ahead and be a pseud fag then. Just don't expect to be taken seriously when you try to discuss any of this.

...

he is decent at best

>Jane Austen, Dickens and those types?

In what fucking world are Austen and Dickens the same type

In the kind of world where he hasn't read either of them.
