ITT: unpopular /lit/ opinions

>free verse is not real poetry, it's just vapid commentary with odd line spacing

>most authors who try to put some sort of political/social/identitarian message in their work are hacks who rely more on trends in public opinion than actual literary merit to sell copies

>e-readers are a passing fad

>there hasn't been a worthwhile sci-fi author since Asimov

Joyce is a genius, not for his prose or literary styling, but in that he exposed three generations of pretentious ivory-tower pseuds and their followers, starting with TS Eliot, as automatons who essentially cannot see that the emperor has no clothes. Writing flowery prose to obscure your point was a true disaster in non-lyrical Anglo literature that continues to poison discourse and recognition of great works to this day. George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Beckett deserve far more praise than Joyce's Pollockesque prose.
