I agree with Pynchon himself in that they're so on the nose and trying desperately to make their thematic arguments and symbolism overtly obvious.

Poe is still GOAT but salinger is probably my favorite.

Hemingway and Hawthorne were born for the short story. True masters.

Dahl wrote a short story called Bitch (I think?) where there's this fragrance that makes people go ape and want to fuck, I guess that's where Suskind took inspiration for Perfume.

i picked up the complete short stories and i gotta say i dislike his short stories more than i dislike his novels. the only positive is that most of them are only a few pages long so i don't have to suffer for very long.
