Why would you bully anybody, you peace of shit?
Not the same guy, but some people deserve to be bullied so that they can suffer the consequences of being detestable. Seems obvious.
Proust
Huysmans
Zweig
umberto eco
John Kennedy Toole.
Virginia Woolf.
Flannery O'Connor.
Haruki Murakami.
i never see anyone bash Woolf, but she's still underrated bc she's one of the best of all time. my sister is named after her
Fitzgerald
Tao Lin (at least for Eeeee Eee Eeee)
To be fair, most female authors get flak from meme posters and /pol/ visitors.
He's correctly rated by Veeky Forums actually. He's pretty medium.
well yeah i don't count those bc they never offer actual criticism. in fact most of them don't even say she's bad they just >women
>Proust
Underrated considering he's one of the GOATs of modernism but no one here wants to discuss him because >muh translations
I think you're right, it just frustrating that threads that attempt to discuss those authors are quickly overrun.
I'm always surprised how few people here can actually read non-English language literature - bookshelf threads rarely feature anything non-English it all either.
