Shame he died so young. The Open Boat and The Blue Hotel(?) are some of the best short stories. He had a ton of potential that was never to be fully realized

Name a single book you've read from each author and offer legitimate criticism with quotations

>>22982488
Considering you have only read the Blind Owl as everyone else on TrueLit (and also partially to it being the only translation available, but your list is really just safe reddit picks), we are similarly situated.

>>22982525
So you have a criticism against one book, and it's against the translation I read (Sassan Tabatabai)? Otherwise, you just used reddit as a catalyst to avoid forming your own thoughts. Your kind should be banned from the board

>>22982564
Considering I own everything by RPW and SA, just as an example (including a goodly amount of writers on your list), don’t see what point you’re trying to make. Only two writers I am unfamiliar with are Egan and Beattie.

>>22982587
Nibba, you own the two most basic picks on my list, and I bet you haven't read all the books you own by them

Kiss me one time and I will

i like reading aggressive banter. nothing too angry, just two gentlemen flinging modest handfuls of shit at each other in a reciprocal agreement to expose the opponent's faggotry; the more secretive faggot wins. it's like a tango. without the girl, of course
to answer your question OP, i like mark twain. i don't see people talk about him here much so i guess he qualifies as underrated
