What makes something pleb or patrician?
And don't just say that pleb stuff relies on tropes and formula while patrician stuff focuses on originality

craftsmanship, ingenuity and depth. You don't need all three at once.

exceptional meme, for additional dankness I'd recommend giving Wolfe his own tier at the very bottom.

>Dickens is Level 2
>Orwell is Level 0
Get this piece of shit chart off the internet. Also, there is no such thing as "absolute" patrician or pleb. It's art, dummy.

Is there a graphic that could describe even better the depth of literary styles and techniques? I come from this thread ( >>9506967 ) and there's no successful answer yet.

Pretty sure you randomly picked this up. from Georgian writers I would choose Rustaveli, Vazha-Pshavela and Karchkhadze

Why is mcelroy so far down he's not that hard.
>>9508894
The whole "patrician vs pleb" dichotomy is nothing more than a meme used by 4chan to say "things I like make me more intelligent than people who like things I don't like".
Don't take it seriously.

Except there are people who have a legit reason to say it, and there are those who don't.

Maybe I haven't read his hard books. I've read smugglers bible, actress in the house and ancient history and I would put him on the same level as gaddis. Smugglers and ancient history were easier than the recognitions desu senpai.

tell me about julian rios
>McCarthy that high
Oh come on. He's a bit more challenging than that.

Not sure if trolling, but I came to say McCarthy should be 0. His books are action movies and are told in a more accessible way than Stephen King. The lack of punctuation and rapid fire dialogue make it more readable than a comic book
