Virginia "Horseface" Woolf is literally the brainlet version of Joyce that /lit/ pretends to like because "muh flowery prose" and because they were too dumb to appreciate the greater modernists like Joyce or Proust. Women cannot write because they are blinded by their hormones. Hormones =/ deep emotions.

The irony is that even the commoner of Ancient Rome beheld more wisdom than your average contemporary dilettante.

Didn't Aristotle say plot was the most important thing? How do e/lit/ists reconcile this with
>reading for plot
?

Her prose, whether the best feature of her writing or not, infuriates me to no end, because, for whatever reason, instead of writing concise and pleasing complete sentences, as the best writers do, she nests obnoxious amounts of clauses, which could, in all honesty, have been separate sentences, or even removed entirely, into one enormous sentence, which, in my opinion, is absolutely disgusting to read, like the writing of an immature child who, despite possessing literary talent, lacks the natural grasp of aesthetics necessary to realise that making your writing as ornate and elaborate as possible, although it might intuitively seem more "sophisticated", like a kind of return to the sensibilities of the Baroque era, actually just looks gaudy and, in some cases, difficult to parse, and makes you look like a pretentious, tasteless cretin.
