How can anyone say Hemingway is better than this guy? Faulkner shits all over Hemingway. Faulkner shits all over nearly everyone in the 20th Century. The only one better than him is Joyce.

As far as corn-cobby chroniclers go, there are none better.

Never heard anyone say that.

Eh, I think Beckett is above Faulkner.

Faulkner is great--really, really great--but, even so, I think that is kind of a ridiculous claim to make, especially when you consider all the authors you haven't read, like Orlovitz, or Coover, or Gaddis, who are all just as great as themselves as Joyce was as himself.

Meme based on Nabokov's criticism on his work. It's a reference to one of his books (Sanctuary I think?) where a girl is raped via corn cob pipe

No one's saying that. He's even better than McCarthy.

He's the great American author. He's probably the best 20th century American author ~~and I'm a homer, so what?~~

I've listened to a few /lit/erates suggesting that I read Light in August, and I'm already so fucking hooked with just the first chapter.

I will seriously read his entire oeuvre since I'm already more than halfway there.

Well, true, but if you're going to write off everyone who isn't better than Kafka then you're going to be left with a very short list.
