the greatest author of the 19th century
this is unarguable, and the fact that 90% of /lit/ have not heard of him is proof that this board is full of midwits and pseuds

If it isn't Chateaubriand then you're dead wrong, but if it is then good for you, I guess.

A bit off topic but why is Blood Meridian so hated? Yeah it’s not the GREATEST thing ever written but it’s a damn good book and we should be happy it’s as popular as it is. For all the contempt others rightfully evoke in us, we have to live with them no matter what. Humanity is an archipelago, each island only a stoned throw away
