@nlopes_renata Às vezes, é melhor ficar calado: Dostoiévski não é qualquer um.
Se alguém o critica, deve ser para lhe opor escritores da sua importância.

@nlopes_renata Clarice Lispector e o péssimo Jorge Amado em vez de Dostoiévski.
É uma vergonha dizer uma coisa dessas.
Português
Gosto muito de Dostoiévski mas acho que nada vai se comparar a sensação de ler pela primeira vez um livro de Machado de Assis, Graciliano Ramos, Clarice Lispector, Jorge Amado, Lígia Fagundes Telles entre vários outros autores talentosos da nossa literatura brasileira
Martim Vasques da Cunha@martimvasques
Os "xóvens" desta bodega disseram que eu exagerei ao afirmar que o pior Dostoiévski é melhor que toda a literatura brasileira. Então me digam: algum escritor tupiniquim fez algo similar a "Os Demônios" ou a "Os Irmãos Karamázov"? I rest my case.

@Miette_Poete @JAsensio @ElstirP Si on devait faire un film sur Villon dans les années 50,il faudrait retenir le Céline ostracisé,et portant ses vielles guenilles pour jouer son rôle.
Exactement ce type autochtone,que Ramuz surprenait encore dans quelques recoins de Paris.
Français
@Miette_Poete @JAsensio @ElstirP Quelques beaux noms,mais D.Adams?
Oh parbleu!
Zola ?
Plutôt Charles Dickens et Jules Vallès.
Huxley ?
Un bon copain au génie D.H. Lawrence.
Villon ? L’ancêtre de Céline.
Français
Juan Asensio croit être fasciné par la littérature alors qu’il l’est par le mal et ses visions grandiloquentes ; au fond il ne sait quoi dire sur Mallarmé.
Français
@Miette_Poete @JAsensio @ElstirP Qui appréciez-vous alors ?
Il faudrait opposer de sérieux concurrents à Céline et Proust.
Duras est une merde.
Français
@JAsensio @ElstirP @Jirinrx Perso j'aime pas le style de Céline, ni celui alambiqué de Proust et moins encore celui déchiqueté de Duras (à part sa voix, incroyable !)
Mais de tout cela OSEF !
Les émotions se jouent sur de très vastes palettes et peuvent être déclenchées par tous type de textes, je trouve
Français
@Jirinrx Flaubert en est bien sûr le grand modèle, mais sinon, pour en rester à des canoniques : Mme de Sévigné, La Rochefoucauld, Saint-Simon, Montesquieu, Chateaubriand, Valéry, Proust…
Français
Je trouvais déjà médiocre le Nick Land deleuzien accélerationniste, il y a quinze ans (un anglais, quoi), sa science-fiction théorique est à l'avenant. Les autres ne sont que des blogguers (qu'on ne peut pas prendre trop au sérieux sinon comme symptôme de décadence culturelle).

@ConradkBarwa People should read this novel instead of polluting their so-called passion for literature with shitty postmodern authors.
We’re talking about Goethe, for God’s sake.
English
@ConradkBarwa This novel is timeless; people are just stupid.
Even from the point of view of its narrative structure alone, this novel actually feels modern.
English
“The Sorrows of Young Werther” was a hugely influential novella in its period, but no sensible person would put it in the top 100 novels
Never mind the top 20 😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
LB@looksbizarre
Goethe in the top five *novels*?
English
@ASimplePlan @ConradkBarwa Céline and Gogol, without a doubt — but Roberto Bolaño?
He has no business being placed next to those two names.
You always have to ruin the party, for fuck’s sake.
English
@ConradkBarwa I think the main problem with that list is that it’s too anglophone. No Roberto Bolaño, Celine, Gogov’s Dead Souls for instance and even the implied ranking of American novels feels a bit whack to me
English
Faulkner my beloved, they really don't deserve you
English
That something as pedestrian as Gatsby is revered as a classic should tell you the quality of that literature
Sylvian (#1 Skinamarink Fan)@TheAlexSylvian
eurofucks always get so mad that america produced the best novelists. sorry we upended your literary tradition in just 250 years guys, better luck with theatre or something
English
@insufficentfund Of course, but at least one novel by Louis-Ferdinand Céline must appear in the top 10.
English
Alors que le style, cette petite affaire de ponctuation et grande affaire de rythme, qui commence sous le lexique et les images, n’a peut-être pu exister en France qu’en dehors des épigones de Bloy.

@panosilos @gatojeton I even interpret him as someone who managed to blur the boundaries between genres in his essays, much like Thomas De Quincey or Thomas Browne.
For me, a Catholic expresses his faith through error, but when he does so with style, it becomes art.
English
@Jirinrx @gatojeton Calling him a theologian is extreme, it isn't that I disagree with his political stances but the way he describes them is insufferable
English
Becoming a glutton and a drunkard to own the modernists.
G. K. Chesterton@GKCdaily
@blown_through If you think "weakness" is merely physical, you don't even understand what you're trying to criticize. Chesterton fought against the barbarism of modernism his entire life, which is why he'll still be remembered when people like you are long forgotten. –Editor
English
@panosilos @gatojeton For my part, I have little appreciation for Catholic theologians, or even Christian theologians, of the twentieth century.
I prefer the artists.
English
@Jirinrx @gatojeton By novels I also mean his detective stories.
As a non fiction essayist he is worse than all popular alternatives from his time
English
@panosilos @gatojeton On the other hand, I remain uncompromising and closed to any discussion regarding the fact that his quality as a polemicist and literary critic is first-rate.
I would lose hope in life without Péguy, Bernanos, Chesterton, Claudel, and Ramuz.
English
@panosilos @gatojeton I am not trying to be so insistent on his quality as a thinker.
It is above all the manner and style with which he sets out his ideas that fascinate me about him.
