What are some ambitious writers that are considered somewhat technically incompetent? I want to read some interesting stuff conjured out of sheer force of will rather than erudition.

D.H.Lawrence's poetry, in my opinion, is ambitious and energetic but technically poor. He would say he's not interested in my opinions about poetic form and technique and I would say he's a self-indulgent coomer. (That doesn't mean he's not worth reading though.)

Many people would say that Les Miserables is a great and ambitious novel which is often technically pretty bad.

I'm getting really fucking tired of the illiteracy on this board.

Depends what aspect of technique dude. A lot of the 19th century types like Dickens, Stendhal, even Tolstoy would catch shit in the modern environment because they're structurally all over the place, making it up as they go along - but the sentence by sentence quality is high.

Possibly Catch-22?

Probably the holy grail of what you're talking about.

That’s more like it. Now we’re jumping into the deep end.
