What the fuck was his problem?

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 06:54:00 2017 No.9187393 >>9187383 he wanted to be nabokov but could only write genre fiction

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 07:22:49 2017 No.9187427 >>9187393 Don't insult Wolfe by comparing him to that slavic bourgeois monkey

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 07:57:22 2017 No.9187501 >>9187393 >he wanted to be nabokov Nabokov? In what way Nabokov? Of course one shouldn't expect shitposts to have any basis but this is really hitting the spot between nonsense and, I don't know, plausible nonsense

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 18:16:28 2017 No.9189626 he's in love with the way words sound, to the point where he uses them out of context.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 18:46:07 2017 No.9189732 >>9187383 He looks like a French version of George RR Martin

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 4 19:16:28 2017 No.9189871 >>9187383 His 'problem' is that he's a good writer in a terrible genre, so people tend to praise him higher than he actually is. Peace is still one of my favourite novels though.
