Most began in the 1800s and Celine's best work is better than a lot of these, but they all felt fit mentioning.

>>	Anonymous Wed, Oct 27, 2021 01:43:21 No.19296528 >>19296478 >when you grow out of it you'll laugh at your younger self. Let me guess, you like Joyce, Proust, Tolstoy, and other serious writers now? Correct? Also, Fante and Bukowski have no business being mentioned with the other 3.
