Why is every single thread on this board a crude dick measuring contest. Fucking Grugs, I swear.

Proust wrote novels, not plays. Imagery is not an argument.

That, and
>IS IT BETTER THAN BLOOD MERIDIAN??

YES PROUST IS BETTER THAN CORMAC MCCARTHY IN LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE WAY. CORMHACK WRITES SHITTY FANTASY TIER GARBAGE IN DISGUISE WITH WESTERN AND APOCALYPTIC LANDSCAPES

OP here. Shakespeare is undeniably a genius but he is often sloppy and extremely derivative. Which is fine. Often geniuses do not know how to properly direct their gifts. But Chaucer is always clear, never falters stylistically, is far more original and is funnier too.
