These three are the most discussed, that's for sure. But IJ has quite a bit of negative criticism from the board's majority because they are all Bloom fanboys and I don't think most people have actually read GR - It's not like they read Ulysses but apart from the occasional poster everyone considers it the best; mostly due to hearsay.

They're all post-modernist tripe, more in love with epic form prose poetry than they are with the purpose and function of the novel in English or the service of the proletariat in arming its consciousness for action.

Emile Zola, despite all of his many flaws in terms of writerliness, armed the class for combat. These pieces of shit may as well shit fuck BEE.

You are either new, spend less than half an hour on here a day or it's because of time differences that we see different type of posts. I've never seen Hemmingway be praised with anything more than a simple pat on the back due to his simplistic writing and badass-ery. That's about it. There also are a few threads a day where they shit on him because he's overrated.

Because shattered writing does not serve the higher functions of literature in general or the functions of the novel in English.

The Great Russians are better than this shit.

"Man's identity is shattered by modernity"—so why is the proletariat continuously regenerating a concrete insurgent identity?

Isn't it Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment?

I mean Ulysses, Gravity's Rainbow and IJ are discussed a lot, but I think C&P (or Dostoyvesky in general) are discussed a lot too. And I always see that people are recommanding C&P to get into Dostoyvesky and tons of people mention that they have read it and that it is good.
