How garbage is the abridged version? Because I've got a lot of free time and very little social life to dedicate myself to seven tomes.

Discoworld also spans many books

Vollmann is only trying to appear daunting writing these long books that appear to have difficult subject matter, he doesn't do justice to them and neithet brings anything new.

In all seriousness the Nobel Prize for literature is one of the worst awarded prizes I have ever seen.

There are many cases of judges giving the prize to their friends and lots of deserving authors who made a real impact in literature never got a prize so they could give it to some obscure Lesothan chant writer or some shit.

>> No.9913561

Nobel are famously a political event rather than anything else (see al gore winning the nobel peace prize for a shitty powerpoint about climate change)
