I've just found out about this James Joyce fellow, and wow, is he underrated. I'm surprised more people haven't read Ulysses and don't know why they don't talk about it more, it's simply masterful. Pic related, it's the author. Damn.

This American writer publishing books since the 60s who's still writing today, Thomas Pynchon, is pretty good too. These are the authors we need to discuss more.
