What does /lit/ think of Neal Stephenson?
His approach to science fiction, his progression as an author, and his future.

He has written a lot of historical fiction as well and some speculative fiction. I'm asking about him as an author, not just the science fiction he writes despite the mention of that.ur a poopy head
Huxley was right.

No, and by the way, translations are much better these days than ones from a few decades back.

if you're going to have a no-translations rule you should at least be literate in two (preferably more) second languages

just pick anything you are interested in. I seem to always go back to his degenerate books because I know he immersed himself in their world and I can't even stand being on the same subway as a sketchy person. mad respect.

This is Skulduggery Pleasant. He is a skeleton, a detective and a wizard! Say something nice about him!
Also post books you thought that were master pieces in your childhood, read again as an adult and felt shame on your little (You)'s taste.

Yeah. I picked it up when it came out, bc I liked the name, but then I read the blurb on the back and dropped it. I still look at it longingly and think: if only you weren't a fuckING MARY SUE.

How can this guy be such a good orator and such a poor writer? I literally can't stand reading any of his essays, short stories or novels but can listen to his interviews for hours. What is it about DFW that makes him such a competent speaker? How would one write in a soothing, non-preachy way (just like DFW speech)?

Are there any good texts on Gertrude Stein?
I've heard Gass has written about her, and admires her greatly, but not sure what kind of essays he wrote about her.
Gertrude general i guess, if there is such a thing.
