I think we need to view Barney through the lens of this tweet, while with Gwyn it's more of an extended bit about token women on top ten lists

@bernardtjoy I also think those early “Faulknerian” novels are better, and certainly better reads, than Faulkner.

one thing you can say about david foster wallace is that his fans have been unfairly maligned in the cultural imagination. they’re fine, i even know a few. especially since there’s another american writer who unambiguously has the worst fans going. that’s right: cormac mccarthy

The irony of the thing is that Vincenzo Barney is very much a David Foster Wallace character and not at all a Cormac McCarthy character

Remember in the late 00s/early 10s when the Top Gear guys would endlessly joke about how the Prius was an unreliable car, reliant on untested technology? I remember.

The problem with McCarthy stans is that their misplaced adulation would find its appropriate object in the work of Faulkner not Cormac.

If I may offer a theory, these books didn't click with you because you are very stupid
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

there should be a goulash based fast food chain. like there's just a few pots of very hearty hungarian stew plus a few other magyar basics to go with it and you can get a big bowl of it for like $5
