All I can write is satire. But my favorite writer is DFW. I feel like I'm failing my master, what do I do?

>>	Donald Simpson Fri Apr 1 14:40:10 2016 No.7876173 have you read his short stories? the reason i don't enjoy them is because they're too satirical. not enough humanity. probably the reason he worshiped George Saunders.

>>	Loren Erickson Fri Apr 1 14:42:44 2016 No.7876182 Incorporate it into your work. Make it subtle. Read some more serious fiction and get a good mix between (subtle) satire and the rest going. Would read if done right.

>>	Rafael Reese Fri Apr 1 14:48:09 2016 No.7876194 What's so bad about satire and why would writing it fail DFW?

>>	Roosevelt Stephenson Fri Apr 1 16:42:02 2016 No.7876468 >>7876227 Go deeper with it and start writing Gaddis-tier satire. The Recognitions is a must-read.
