there you go.
I won't disagree. Replace Eliot with Pessoa if you need another novel.
woops that's most essential modern novelists.
There are few novels I find legitimately upsetting to read, but this is one.
You don't know what modernist means.
Yes, forgot about hamsun and pessoa.
I'd take Eliot and Kafka out (since op asked for novels) and replace with hunger and the book of disquiet.
what's up with the afro
Keke
Irish are the nigs of Europe
>A la recherche du temps
>Lolita
Not modernism.
Modernist poetry >>>>>>>> modernist novels
Prove me wrong.
I read that shit wrong! I have dyslexia.
In search of lost time definitely is, Lolita is a bridge between modernism and post-modernism.
Ah, sorry. Carry on then.
Since there's no qtddtot I'll ask here at the risk of sounding stupid. Is Hemingway a modernist writer and where do I start with him?
Yes, the sun also rises
Thanks babe
Petersburg by Andrei Bely
Giles Goat-Boy by John Barth
you're weird. it's fun to read and not upsetting at all. It's sad when he's REALLY hungry but hes obviously not just gonna fucking die so lol. I felt like i was literally him, and knew it was going to be okay in the end
All of Joyce's work is essential literature and essential basic education so by default they are essential modernist novels
