Faulkner dumb shit

Faulkner

Joyce in Ulysses

Faulkner but I'm biased. I just don't enjoy Joyce that much

Beckett.

how is faulkner not postmodern

Ursula K. Le Guin is the best modernist.

They exhibit quite different modernisms. The transatlantic nature of their relationship is also important to take into account.
Joyce's modernism is overt, exaggerated, boisterous. Faulkner's is subdued, restrained, almost minimal.

And what in tarnation do u mean by modernism anyway?

Because he wrote during a specific time and in a specific mode. That was modernism.

Faulkner is brainlet, so Joyce.

Faulkner
USA#1

How is Joyce not postmodern? I mean a cyclic novel? That's Postmodern af.

Faulkners relentless corncobbing and word whittling is to much for my high iq, I'm sorry.

Pessoa

Both of them are cornerstones of Modernism.

explain what the problem is exactly with corncobbery, please, without resorting to meme words.

Joyce but FW not ulysses

Yeah sure. And Mozart isn't a romantic.

Where to go with Faulkner? I have TSATF and Absalom but don't know where to start

TSATF then Absalom. Absalom takes place first but you'll appreciate it more with the context of TSATF.

None of them
