>filters you

Dislike him. Writer of corncobby chronicles. To consider them masterpieces is an absurd delusion. A nonentity, means absolutely nothing to me.

>such high art he filtered Nabokov

>>24495160
Curious how he gives reasons to dislike every other author he's talked about, but simply can't for Faulkner. Almost as if he was simply filtered. Can't blame him, it happens to the best of us.

>>24495160
Corncobby = white and American?

>>24495142 (OP)
What's interesting about Faulkner that I hrdly see mentioned was his influence on film narration/voiceover styles

>>24495315
Nabokov would never attack a fellow American like that.

>>24495142 (OP)
Mogged by Hemingway. Only women and homos dispute this.

>>24495789
Hemingway had a witty barb in response to one of Faulkner's snide comments about him, but they're not even close on a literary level.

I learned more about writing from reading The Sound & The Fury than I ever could have taking a creative writing class.

>>24495315
People of brown skin tone have an innate hatred of the superior white, wherever he is. American, German, or even less white (slav).

>>24496033
What did you learn? I might start Sound & The Fury

I think the writer is initially set going by literature more than by life. When there are many writers all employing the same idiom, all looking out on more or less the same social scene, the individual writer will have to be more than ever careful that he isn't just doing badly what has already been done to completion. The presence alone of Faulkner in our midst makes a great difference in what the writer can and cannot permit himself to do. Nobody wants his mule and wagon stalled on the same track the Dixie Limited is roaring down.

Basically the limits of language, and how pleasing language can be. It's something I more felt, than could draw out. Quentin's part in particular caused a great advancement in my own writing style.

it's either really good or autistic rambling about fictional families in a fictional county (filters)

>fucks Hemingway's wife

>Only women and homos dispute this.
Hemingway likely was a homo. He dyed his hair platinum blonde and behaved androgynously around his wife and their close friend couples. It wasn't just a novel.

Is this about his screenwriting era or his technique generally? Are any of his movies actually worth watching as Faulknerian output?

>>24496197
Someone had to.

Flannery O'Connor did not like Faulkner and her comments are ambiguous enough that they are taken as praise

>>24496790
She loved Faulkner and is very obviously inspired by him. Where did you get this idea that she doesn't?

>this scares liberals

>>24497453
Her remark was how Faulkner had laid waste to southern gothic genre. She was a fan of Nabokov

>>24497490
>don't do something badly that is already completed
That is complimentary. She also recommends reading his books.
>she liked Nabokov
So do I. This isn't team sports anon.

>>24495142 (OP)
I like Faulkner quite a bit but I fully get why he’d filter people. I had more trouble reading him than I had reading Ulysses.

>>24495142 (OP)
no he doesn't

>>24500577
Prove it.

I think you're just projecting your homosexuality. He had multiple mistresses

Girl besties.

I'm reading this right now. This Jason fella is a real piece of work!

I love faulkner though

The weight of the literary world was on his shoulders stunting his growth.

as i lay dying. that is all.

I really need to get into American /lit/. Such a great output during the 20th century
I wish I had a way of finding English originals and not translations in my country.

>>24495142 (OP)
The last and the one truly great American writer, all after him are pretenders and leeches.
