who is the scaruffi of literature?

>>8606425
Scaruffi

Bloom

>>8606425
scaruffi thinks ummagumma is better than dark side of the moon.

>>8606586
that's probably because it is

Bloom is an OK choice, his railing against Harry Potter is akin to Scrauffi railing against The Beatles, but Scrauffi isn't a curmudgeon.

I don't know, did you read his review of Swans' The Seer? He's basically one step away from saying "back in my day, Swans was actually scary. They don't make 'em like they used to. These kids don't know what they're missing."

pseud namedropping. it's obvious he hasn't actually read those books/the authors extensively.

>buddenbrooks
objectively worse than magic mountain, doctor faustus, and joseph
>red and the black
worse than charterhouse
>madame bovary
worse than sentimental education, temptation of saint anthony

>to the lighthouse
>the idiot
edgy contrarian choices. would be defensible as an idiosyncratic choice if not for his pattern of choosing the inferior work within an author's oeuvre

>>8608158
He is so unfathomably pretentious, you can just tell that he doesn't mean this.
It's like he picks the right authors, but purposely picks the 'wrong' choices wherever it's possible, and keeps his 'right' opinions where you have no choice, eg. WH, Ulysses, Bovary

>to the lighthouse
>contrarian
family...

>>8608178
the waves is the accepted #1.

to the lighthouse is defensible but it's a minority choice.

>>8608172
>>madame bovary
>worse than sentimental education
That's just like your opinion man
I love both though

>>8608187
What? Isn't TTL like genuinely the academic consensus?

>>8608158
Immaculate selection, as always. The only thing superior to scaruffi's taste is his ability to induce anal devastation amongst the plebs.

>>8608172
>says that Madame Bovary isn't Flaubert's best
>then goes on to call HIM an "edgy contrarian"

Wew, lead-head.
