No. All her modernist colleagues top her. Her thread of cpnscience is so badly achieved it makes my brain hurt

I’m reading To The Lighthouse now and it’s already better than anything Joyce ever wrote. Unsure at this stage whether or not I like it more than The Waves, though.

You are exaggerating, but it is great. I also liked it better than what little I've read of Joyce. It actually made me feel

unfortunately yes (and only Lord knows how much I hate female writers), are there ane womens woth comparable talent? I was gonna pick up a copy of the bell jar but don't know much about plath

The Bell Jar sucks, don't. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter was good, but nowhere near Woolf's level

Finished this yesterday, it was good. The first ten pages of the first part is quite muddled, by you find the thread suddenly and it becomes a breeze.

Actually her obsession was Proust; he made her feel like after him, why bother?
Personally I liked both To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway (which is her best) but neither cracks my top ten.

Sylvia Plath's last book of poems, Ariel, was where she became a great writer.
Gertrude Stein if you haven't read her already.
Anne Carson is probably the best poet living now that Ashbery is dead.

I read about 1/3 of it in high school before I rage quit. However I was a big pleb back then and fortunately I also stole the book so I still have it. And now, 15 years later you reminded me about it so I will give it a try soon. Thanks.
