Why does /lit/ overlook pic related?

He's such a part of American culture that he's almost dismissed as the Huckleberry Finn guy but he was an incredible writer. His lectures, the evolution of his work, Letters from the Earth, Joan of Arc...I feel like he's severely underappreciated on here.

Can we have a Sam Clemens general?

He used an inappropriate term in one of his novels. And (((they))) got offended and pushed for his works to be either censored or removed from school entirely. And /lit/ are just (((they're))) puppets. Believing all the vitriol (((they))) spew out.

Every time you see a "/pol/" plz go response, (((they))) have won.

Because he's not mainstream anymore, and /lit/ only cares about stuff that's popular

His uncle's house is in the middle of the ghetto in St. Louis and is in a horrendous state of ruin.

I really think he's not that great. He's funny and writes well, but he lacks genius and sincerity. If he weren't American, he wouldn't be all that famous. I can cite at least ten internationally unknown authors from my language who are, I think, very much superior to him.

Read Puddnhead Wilson, it's not very good. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are though. But yeah, muh n word, what ya gonna do?

there is nothing clever about any of it though, it's just another bad post in a sea of bad posts. Instead of spamming the place with garbage would it be so wrong to engender genuine discussion? you're quick to cynically fling shit but balk when anon confronts you, so it's clear you don't even get enjoyment out of it. wouldn't it feel a whole lot better to talk about your genuine thoughts and feelings for once instead of bringing yourself and everyone around you down with your nihilistic fixation on irony?

I liked The Mysterious Stranger. The ending is a real sledgehammer

He's GOAT. How are his short stories? I bought a collection of them and plan on reading them soon.

It's a shame he died before finishing TMS. The version that was published omitted a lot of what was in the manuscripts. The ending was taken from another version in which it has a completely different tone.

or maybe you just missed his genius and sincerity?

I love Huckleberry Finn. The word nigger appears 219 times in a 360 page book.
Genius

I don't see why anyone cares about having the word nigger in your books. Niggers don't read. The niggers that do read usually read urban romance novels or afrocentric revisionist history.

Huckleberry Finn is among the most sincere and genius works of American fiction, homie

Ignoring muh hate speech for a minute, has anyone else read Joan of Arc? I was surprised by how serious it seemed, especially after reading Innocents Abroad. I think he was a little bit obsessed with her.
tbqh Twain made me kind of a fanboy for Joan
