Dostoyevsky and DeLillo write shitty dialogue, so just learn to accept it.

>> No.18345191

I wrote this. Dig the dialogue. Notice how I don’t use tags at all. https://lampbylit.com/magazine/bury-the-mare-in-the-morning/

Pay more attention to actual conversations and try to replicate them. As an experiment, try writing an actual conversation you overheard in the form of a literary dialogue. Like a painter, begin from a living model.

Just write about faggots, problem solved.

Make all the characters autistic

Embrace autism.
Don’t be afraid to be “weird”
And I don’t mean “weird” as in a purple haired freak I mean genuine eccentricity which does not involve begging for attention with bizarre physical appearance

Dosto writes some of the best dialogue. It's arguably his best quality.

DeLillo’s dialogue is stilted and all of Dostoyevsky’s characters speak the way that troubled intellectuals write. You’re wrong, and there’s no need to cry about it.

>> No.18345689

Stop writing dialogue. What are you, twelve?

You don't know what you're talking about. Do you even speak Russian? I wouldn't say dialogue is his best quality but it's far from being overly intellectual, most of it is more colloquial than other Russian literature of the time.

write it up without caring how you sound then rewrite it a bunch very critically including reading it out loud etc

Depends a little on what you're looking for. His dialogue is well characterized and communicates ideas well. However it's very unrealistic and monologue heavy, so it'd be out of place in many kinds of story
