Tolstoy is garbage, so sure.

Baldwin was pretty good for his first two novels and his first collection of short stories, after that the alcoholism began effecting his novel writing
(you can compare the first half of Another Country to the second half)
he was one of the best American essay writers from beginning to end
not in Tolstoy's class

At least he kicked Jude-Chistianity in arse by more gentle way then Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Except neither of them actually understood Christianity.

>christianity is just platonism bro despite even the OT having parts that are anti-platonic and the entirety of it rejecting the sanctity of knowledge and reason

>dude these things are dumb btw i preach REEL christianity

>>8695786
shame the ever elusive 'true' christianity wasn't the one that survived and thrived enough for nietzsche to respond to. praise the kjv pbuh

Except it did, Nietzsche just didn't understand it.
