Don't mind me, just being the most over rated writer on earth.

>> No.1186437

Agree 100%. His characters are literary cardboard, his stories are idiotic, and his dialog is garbage.

I'll never understand how a writer so unjustifiably boring is held is such high esteem.

>> No.1186453

I've never though any of his writing was that well done. The Sound and the Fury was a complete waste of time.

Faulkner is for all the pseudo intellectual kids that think they are deep for reading him.

Sorry kids.

Yes, it does mean something, but it's not what I said. What I said was Modernism. It's not a period, but a process. It is the duty of writers to recognise it. Many dodge this duty and get rich off the ignorance of the people.

Uh, no. Just giving you some friendly advice: for you to pull your head out of your ass in the hopes you don't continue to make a fool of yourself. I'd hate to think you act like this to people in public. Ah, the joys of anonymity.

It's ridiculous. All I'm saying is, people don't feel the urgency of life any more, they don't feel the need to make new literary forms for their feelings. A horror comparable in scale to the Holocaust would deal with it.

There will have to be killing before people get some fucking discipline and embrace the Modernist duty again. It's pretty obvious. It's not an outre theory. Only when people know their danger do they make art at the limits.
