Wolfe has always been reddit though. Midwit tier genre fiction trash. The same people who think blood meridian is peak literature also think guy going around with sword killing monsters and fucking women is "literary" and "better than proust"
>Overall, I found nothing unique in Wolfe. Perhaps it's because I've read quite a bit of odd fantasy; if all I read was mainstream stuff, then I'd surely find Wolfe unpredictable, since he is a step above them. But compared to Leiber, Howard, Dunsany, Eddison, Kipling, Haggard, Peake, Mieville, or Moorcock, Wolfe is nothing special.
>Perhaps I just got my hopes up too high. I imagined something that might evoke Peake or Leiber (at his best), perhaps with a complexity and depth gesturing toward Milton or Ariosto. I could hardly imagine a better book than that, but even a book half that good would be a delight--or a book that was nothing like that, but was unpredictable and seductive in some other way.
>I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never really did. It all plods along without much rise or fall, just the constant moving action to make us think something interesting is happening. I did find some promise, some moments that I would have loved to see the author explore, particularly those odd moments where Silver Age Sci Fi crept in, but each time he touched upon these, he would return immediately to the smallness of his plot and his annoying prick of a narrator. I never found the book to be difficult or complex, merely tiring. the unusual parts were evasive and vague, and the dull parts constant and repetitive.
>The whole structure (or lack of it) does leave things up to interpretation, and perhaps that's what some readers find appealing: that they can superimpose their own thoughts and values onto the narrator, and onto the plot itself. But at that point, they don't like the book Wolfe wrote, they like the book they are writing between his lines.

Dos passos is garbage, and it aligns with your shitty taste that you'd recommend him. I have already read Joyce and Woolf.

>"look how this one thing is different between us because I made sure to write it that way in order to force the difference"
God you're so retarded. This is so clear and obvious, it's fucking pathetic. Only a samefag would insist that some random shit like capitalization is a marker of there being two different people. I am laughing so hard right now. Why is it that all faggots trying to act elitist (on liking garbage like poost no less) are all ubiquitously retarded across the board? There must be some conspiracy.
>You think Cormac McCarthy is the greatest shit ever
He is Great. Never said anything about the greatest. That's just your butthurt speaking.

Meanwhile, your favorite writer is a faggot homosexual lol. One direction is more up your alley, and your favorite movie is probably brokeback mountain lol.

Never said he was my favorite. I said he was one of the greatest, which is true. It doesn't matter how much you parrot McBurger's redneck comments, Proust's greatness will prevail.

>a guy on youtube single handedly pushing zoomers to read good works
This doesn't happen. What actually happens is a Youtuber skims a large book (badly), extrapolates some theory on the book's themes, ignores about 90% of the book's actual content and does no research. This creates what we will call The Faggot Take. By creating the Faggot Take the 'tuber has what he actually wants — which is not some valuable understanding of a written work that would benefit himself or others, but a narrative framework to concoct a clickbait video around. The Faggot Take is then plastered up in video form, where millions of little zoomers — who are basically neo-serf illiterates and educated incorrectly, — bear witness and proceed to adopt The Faggot Take in place of any actual learning you might derive from actually reading the book. Why? Because clout. Zoomers do not value things, they value the idea of things. They have been groomed by bad education and a diseased society into becoming chinks, basically. They obtain clout by the illusion of being well-read rather than actually reading, with all the benefits that would award them. And because zoomers outnumber us (like chinks) the Faggot Take is parroted around by simpletons vigorously nodding at each other to feel like they understand anything, sharing in this mutual deluded ignorance. The 'tuber is the root cause of all this, which is why they are (or I guess were) despised on this website.

lol, LMAO even
Vance's Dying Earth is a literal children's book with terrible prose and characters called Flibbidy Floobiddy and dialogue written for performers at an American Renaissance Fair. It's literal pre-New Wave 1950s dogshit for children and retards that was grandfathered into being accepted as classic, when IRL it's obviously L. Ron Hubbard tier shlock.

not only unironically comparing it to Wolfe, but further implying that there's some hidden complexity is reddit tier contrarianism

There was a moment in BOTNS that I only got because I have a shared love of mythology and naval history. I don't care if it is reddit, I'm going to love it for that reason alone.
Plus its a fun dying earth adventure even if you don't quite understand all the moments where Wolfe is being smug.
