I hate this blind dilettante faggot so much. I hate his unfinished ideas that he tries to pass off as stories. I hate his philosemitic, kabbalistic obfuscation of the truth. I hate his pedantic and insecure recitation of all the other books he's read. Neocon midwit fuck.

He retracted from his philosemite views later in life and said Jews were not the type of "warrior" tribe that he thought they were.

I agree but i also haven't read him either. He gives me the same vibes as Bolaño.

His essays are shit, and his stories are glorified WOT IFs without any clear ideas, simply chuckstuffed with references because the dude had no life outside of library

I'm currently reading him, so far so good but I can't see why he's so praised. But it's too soon to judge, I'm 60 or 70 pages.

Can't stand him either, even if he was kind of based. His whole shtick is making up clever gimmicks. He never wrote anything truly insightful, even if many of his ideas had plenty of potential, but he never bothered to develop them.

>> No.18857777

this is truly the dumbest thread of the year OP
>The works of Jorge Luis Borges, especially "The Garden of Forking Paths" and "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", were a major influence on Sebald. (Tlön and Uqbar appear in The Rings of Saturn.)
What's next? Let's keep the ball rolling. Was Sebald smoking crack here? Was he a bad writer too? What about DFW?
>And yet it often seems that the person we encounter in the literary biography could not possibly have written the works we admire. And the more intimate and thorough the bio, the stronger this feeling usually is. In the present case, the Jorge Luis Borges who emerges in Williamson's book -- a vain, timid, pompous mama's boy, given for much of his life to dithery romantic obsessions -- is about as different as one can get from the limpid, witty, pansophical, profoundly adult writer we know from his stories.
DFW calls Borges vain and pompous, but even he still sees the virility in his work
