1984 is overrated, but no.

You're right, it's Delillo. I actually saw him on the street one time. We were walking past each other I tripped him. He didn't say shit, the pussy.

Yes

He never wrote a good book

>> No.11414450

>>11414246
Objectively speaking, he is of higher IQ than you.
>how do you know?
Because he wrote Libra, the greatest fictive achievement of the thirty years, and you have written nothing but garbage and shitposts. You shoot spitballs on 4chan and fantasize of being talked about, resorting to provocation and buffoonery just to gain even a modicum of the attention lavished upon DeLillo every day.

You are a child, essentially. Go to bed, little boy.

That doesn't make him the biggest hack or even a hack at all.

It is a good book, so is Animal Farm.

No, it's awful. Animal Farm also

Define hack

>> No.11414484

>>11414465
The onus to define it is on you. But the more relevant definition would be what you consider a good book, since that's what your (lack of an) argument hinges on. You're essentially saying "I don't like him so he's a hack." and not backing that up. You have a tiny little brain so I won't be reading any more replies from you.

Even if that were true, his best work was as an essayist

>The onus to define it is on you

No it's not. You asked who the biggest hack is, I said Orwell. You said he's not a hack. Whatever that means. So define hack.

>You're essentially saying "I don't like him so he's a hack." and not backing that up

His writing is plain and his stories are all heavy-handed political propaganda padded with cringe worthy romance/drama. His only worth in modern in society is people using his vague meme quotes to suit their political agenda yet he's hailed as some kind of literary great.
