whatever pisshole country you come from probably has 1 national poet who wrote an assrag of love songs and 2 novels who eeked into the public eye for their piggybacking the modernists and being written by the only autistic person in the entire legally retarded country

It's always been cool to like DFW. Who really gives a shit what a small, bitter and obviously envious group think about a man ten years dead now?

>> No.13388878

>>13388703
I think you're wrong. Against the Day is much better in scope, style and tone than Mason & Dixon or Gravity's Rainbow. Even in story. It almost reads like "the great american novel", with the main story revolving about the life of an american family.

DFW was nothing more than a parody of all postmodernists, and he knew it. This is a horrible book used as a paperweight by college kids trying to seem intelligent. There is nothing of substance in the overinflated and droning thousand-and-some-odd pages crammed into this glorified firestarter. Stephen king writes better prose. If I could remove a single author from the history of humanity, it would be this pretentious fucknugget.
