In the end, was Virginia Woolf just a tryhard edgelord?

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 24 14:56:12 2016 No.8545341 >>8544590 This is closeth to the truth out of any of these posts. Woolf writes likes she knows every little part of your soul, which is very comforting.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 24 15:01:40 2016 No.8545367 >>8544542 of course not. what a stupid thread.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 24 15:15:45 2016 No.8545416 >>8545367 It's just bait. Woolf being a beloved author of most of the sincere posters left on this board is a well known fact.

>>	Anonymous Sat Sep 24 22:34:16 2016 No.8547072 I find it amusing reading Orlando how the attractive qualities of Nicolas Greene are described. You can tell a woman wrote it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 25 01:13:41 2016 No.8547501 What do you guys mean when you say she is "sincere?" How does sincerity relate to writing?

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 25 01:18:04 2016 No.8547514 >>8547501 It was very clear in her writing she took everything very seriously and was often hurt by it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 25 01:18:44 2016 No.8547516 >>8544542 A footnote. Still relevant as a catalyst to realizing Faulkner's genius, not much more than that. Her one essay still gets read. Really a rather loose type of writing. A formidable mediocrity.

>>	Anonymous Sun Sep 25 01:54:27 2016 No.8547586 >>8547501 she speaks honestly, from her soul. She makes no attempts to impress you with flourishes in her writing, but instead with the depth of her insight and connection to the world. Contrast that with Nabokov, as well as the new sincerity movement.
