Yep, Tolstoy is always mediocre when compared to the great work of literature known as "shit smeared wall" vol.1&2.

he was gay, though, so he gets a pass.

plus there was a bunch of cross-dressing in war and peace so it's possible he was a closeted transgender woman.

He is the greatest literary genius to ever live.

I wonder if your POC friend read Haji Murat

damn white males trying understand people of colour baka god damn whitewashing of dagestani people

>>8826788
The irony is that most PoC can't even find dagestan on a map.

He's litchrally the greatest writer of all time, and that includes Shakespeare.

no
Shakespare, Milton, Cervantes, Chaucer, Goethe and Eliot are worthier than Tolstoy

In what world would anyone believe this, I'm just wondering. Even on /lit/ where I'm sure there are critics people can recognize he's a landmark author

Tolstoy is the real Russian author, Dostoyevsky is for pseudo college fags.
