only white males praise DFW

[Anonymous No.8456424]

yet Sam Delany is by all accounts a superior writer and isn't talked about as much

[Anonymous No.8456428]

I like Delany..but no

It's less a racial thing and more a genreshit thing. Yes, Dhalgren has a reputation for being /lit/, but other than that he just wrote scifi and that thing about the pedophile.

>>8456429
im talking in terms of sheer writing ability

DFW is not on his level

[Anonymous No.8456432]

>>8456424
Dhalgren was interesting but his other stuff (notably Hogg) is fucking bollocks
Infinite Jest isn't the best but it's a readable and pretty genuinely enjoyable/poignant novel, but DFW's other stuff besides Pale King is bad too

So they about equal up

I agree OP: Dhalgren > the Jest

[Anonymous No.8456440]

>>8456435
Dhalgren<<<Gravity's Rainbow

[Anonymous No.8456445]

>>8456440
and therefore GR >>>> the Jest

[Anonymous No.8456446]

>>8456445
What is the more challenging book out of Jest, Dhalgren or Gravity's Rainbow

[Anonymous No.8456450]

>>8456446
havn't read Infinite Jest

but Dhalgren isn't really that hard, its just kind of weird

Gravity's Rainbow is up their with Ulysses in sheer incomprehensibility

[Anonymous No.8456462]

>>8456431
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men was better than anything Delaney ever wrote.

[Anonymous No.8456465]

>>8456450
Ulysses isnt even incomprehensible. Finnegans Wake maybe.

>>8456424
And Delaney is a once a week mention desu brah

[Anonymous No.8456496]

>>8456465
ehhh..Delany isn't really mentioned here on Lit that much, he is no where near as mentioned as much as DFW

[Anonymous No.8456512]

>>8456424
They're both garbage.

>>8456496
Because DFW is a meme. And Hogg is this board's Boku no Pico/ITAOTS/Install Gentoo/etc, so you're spouting retarded shit anyway.
