WTF i hate him now

>>7809851
Funny because my feminist tumblr classmates fucking hated him because he was a racist old white man writing about things he didn't understand.

holy shit you know the Corn King?

>>7810012
was he racist though? (am not american, haven't read him before)

He got a D in English

Hardly, his stories are extremely sympathetic to blacks. But his white characters frequently use the word nigger and he portrays black people as uneducated and often dependent on white charity, so a lot of progressives have a bone to pick. Personally I think they can all go rot. He's in the running for greatest American fiction writer ever

>>7810050
yeah that's a good summary, apparently a white author who depicts black people sympathetically is automatically "patronizing" now, who knew

First American author to truly understand Hispanic culture. Can only be compared to himself. Up there with Twain and Poe. An American saint.

Why did Nabby hate him?

Faulkner was a very intelligent man. If you'd read any of his books you would know this from the first five pages.
