What does your favorite author say about you?

Include stereotypes of said author.

I'll start:

Kafka, Thoreau, Hemingway, DFW

>> No.12746931

I don't know if it's a stereotype but I imagine you feel alienated somewhat. Also a cool guy. Maybe you smoke cigarettes.

>>12746921
You're American. Still young. Fresh out of High School, or in any case still in College/Undergrad age. You dream about being a writer. You want to write a beautiful novel that will be appreciated for its prose and its relatable sentiments. The novel which will make you famous, as you imagine it in your head, is probably somewhat depressing and melancholy, but with a sort of sweet interior happiness to it. It will be based on your own experiences. You keep imagining this novel but you will never write it. You have friends and a social life, but you are the quiet and intelligent person in your social circle. You have eclectic taste in music, but most of it is contemporary stuff. You don't know too much about classical, but enjoy hearing it.

kafka: introverted, very intelligent, misunderstood, has few friends but very close and true friends.

>> No.12746989

>>12746977
But you are getting into a philosophy and existentialism phase. The novel you imagine in your head is darker and less consoling.

Fuck you nerd. Expressionism is part of life lived intensely.

>> No.12747001

You probably aren’t turned away by dark or depressing things in life, you don’t try to ignore them or pretend like they don’t exist, and you occasionally have a sense of humor when shit goes down in life. And you have pretty good taste.

What if my favorite writer is Herman Melville? I have only read Moby-Dick, Billy Budd, and Bartleby the Scrivener, but I am pretty sure he is the writer I most admire.
