>Naipaul, who has been described as the "greatest living writer of English prose", was asked if he considered any woman writer his literary match. He replied: "I don't think so." Of Austen he said he "couldn't possibly share her sentimental ambitions, her sentimental sense of the world".

>He felt that women writers were "quite different". He said: "I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know whether it is by a woman or not. I think [it is] unequal to me."

>The author, who was born in Trinidad, said this was because of women's "sentimentality, the narrow view of the world".

Why don't you read V.S Naipaul, /lit/?

Reminder Jane Austen, George Eliot, the Brontes all wrote under pseudonyms and weren't widely known to be women in the works they wrote under male names.
I don't belief this guy for a second.

This is literally R9k! Some robot had this big post about he can discern woman vs man from their typing style. I wish I had the screen cap.

I quite liked The Mystic Masseur, but haven't read anything else he's written. Any recommendations?

That's not that ridiculous a statement. I can sometimes tell the political disposition of a person based on a few paragraphs of apolitical text. Same with gender.

Hey, femanon here, this.

There wasn't enough widely read female writing to discern what a female voice would read like at the time

Yeah, it was based a lot on how women write to the group as the higher conscious. " everybody does X except you.." and some other hilarious points .i wish I had it desu

Greatest living writer of english prose my ass. He's second rate at best. It will be funny to watch /lit/ choose mysoginy over racism and not claim his success is due the war against white men because he considers women inferior.

As to his actual argument... who fucking cares how he rates himself against others? Thats like saying his perception of himself is worth as much as an unbiased critical examination of his work.

As for gendered writing, well, its a thing but not nearly so self evident in all cases or obvious at all sometimes. Hell, very established writers have been unable to pass a literature turing test recently. What makes anyone think Naipaul can do it with women?
