ITT authors where you shouldn’t start with their most famous work
I’ll get some obvious ones out of the way
>Plato
>Nietzsche
>pic related

Does he have any rivals amongst his fellow modernists? Does it all start and stop with this man alone?

Contrived, obscure, reference heavy wordplay thread
Let's gather this shit up and make a crowdwritten 21st century Ulysses. See how many layers you can uncover of other anons work
>He spent his life talking about books he hadn't read and shitposting on literal who bands until /lit/ and /mu/ banned him.
>He searched online for a book to help him become a white hat - white fedora - and settled on Into The Mainframe. He began Reeding into the mainframe, but it became clear he had no talent. It seemed like the author photo was pointing at him.

What the FUCK was his problem?

Why do we like this guy again?

Was Joyce a Catholic?

“My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

For purposes of amateur localisation, I'm looking for an english-language public domain love poem that represents not-yet-mutual and rather aggressive infatuation, but also has some artistic merit.

Bonus points if written by a woman.

>Dang Thams the noise about all the same Harry chap. She's seeking her willywompun, a chickle a chuckle- in and out of their serial story, poopity scoop, scoopdiddy whoop, whoop, tune freely adapted to The Novvergin's Viv.
why do we like this idiot again?

>want to purchase a book
>look up an excerpt on google to see if I like the writing style
>click the first link
>finish reading the excerpt
>realize it was literally just the last 3 paragraphs of the story
>desperately try to forget what I just read
>contemplate suicide

God damnit why am I so stupid

if you've actually read it and considered it worthless then there's nothing anyone here can do to convince you otherwise. its an issue of taste, just move on. although i doubt you have read it, you're probably just fishing for some some extracts.
