elitist. i thought you were a foucault fan, no?

Nabokov, Dostoevsky, Joyce, and Tolstoy are all deserving of each others' company, but not in mid-tier

it's always nice to see Fitzgerald and Steinbeck get some respect though

>> No.1159895

Chaucer doesn't really fit into the category. He's way older than these dudes.
