Try actually good female authors like

>>21412264
Nice, here's my personal fav list of female writers:

>>21412264
>>21412268
Neither of you virgins has ever touched a Munro book lmao

>>21412260
Oh man you have no idea. Women are perverse as fuck.

>>21412260
>Oh no. Women are fully three dimensional people? w-w-why can't they be like trustworthy animu grillers? *quiver*

Can I get some recommendations on lit that glorify adultery? So that I can know which books and authors to avoid.

>>21412277
But I thought women were just a normie psyop?

>>21412277
>Oh no. Women are horrifying backstabbing marauders that think nothing of betrayal if it means she can feel a tingle tingle in her private parts? Why can't they be just like human beings?

>>21412307
Some women can be all that, just as some men can be all that. Goodness, lad. Grow the fuck up.

>>21412326
>Goodness, boyo. Sheesh! Yikes. Umm.... GRODY! Ha-ha-ha, WHOOOOA! *bangs gong*
N I G G E R S

>>21412337
lol
>>21412326
cuck bong

>>21412337
>GRODY

>>21412337
lmao

>>21412345
Accepting women as equally human isn't "cuck", you moron.

>>21412337
>implying race is refutation
Pure avoidance. He's completely right.

Alice Munro is absolutely the best female author of the 20th century. Hands-down.

>>21412366
>some are le bad! some are good!
whoa. mind blown.

>>21412373
>Hands-down.
Virginia Woolf is better.

>>21412269
Or a women.

>>21412378
Munro can convey more thought and emotion in a ten page short story than Woolf can in an entire novel. Like many modernists Woolf spends way too much time babbling from 8 different character perspectives about an idea that a few pages and a single perspective easily wouldve sufficed

>>21412387
This may have killed my interest in Munro, how can I trust the word of someone who missed the point of the modernists/Woolf so hard?

>>21412387
>Munro can convey more thought and emotion in a ten page short story than Woolf can in an entire novel.
Emotion is for faggots and this is an exaggeration. Woolf was the better prose stylist.

>>21412391
There is no point to miss amigo. There is a reason why the modernist style was stone dead by the second world war, and has since never been resuscitated

>>21412392
Other anon:
Woolf is great. Glad you like her. A little dated perhaps, but you're 100% wrong about emotions. You're a faggot for not connecting with your emotional self. Everyone who locks their emotions away suffers from it.

>>21412392
>the better prose stylist
>prooooooooose

>>21412408
>MUH emotions!!!!!
>I GOTTA CRY AAAAAAHHHH WAAA WAAA

>>21412357
Well, actually, egalitarian values come from the enlightenment. most of those guys had a very faint idea of morality besides "things that me feel good makes it right". Your view, and most of the dreck that came from that period (hur dur) was all based in fleeting sentimentalism

>>21412378
No. Just no.

>>21412408
>>21412419
You guys are fags, stfu.

>>21412260
Serves you right for going with /lit/'s recommendation, you could have just read Agatha Christie and all would be fine in the world.

>>21412429
Knife yourself before I do.

>>21412404
Well, you certainly missed the point of the multiple perspectives. Modernism did not really die out, it is still dominant. Most literature since WWII falls under realism or modernism with a couple decades when post modernism was just as big as realism and modernism.

It's a brainlet thread from the start. What do you expect?

>>21412502
>It’s a brainlet thread from the start

>>21412540
Is that supposed to be you, or me?

>>21412260
Try actually reading good female authors

>>21412408
>>21412419
>>21412444
On the contrary; both are based sigma males.

>>21412548
>I know what you are but what am I?

>>21412260
What's with all the redditors in this thread

>>21412461
rent free, buddy. The very fact you incensed over some nobody online says more about you than me. It seems all well and good when anyone attacks me on here (granted you and I know each other from adam) but as soon as the barrage comes back at any of you its bad news apparently. C'est la vie.

>>21412817
For as much as people bitch about election tourists, this is somehow worse from what I've seen.

>>21412806
You win, you made me lol.

For Munro-reading Anons.

Can you give me a list of your top 10 favorite short stories by her? Maybe the top 15?

I’m not talking about the best books or collections, but about individual stories, from all of her books.

What are your top ten?

>>21412817
Idk
