How could you seriously think Portrait was bad when the bathing scene is the epitome of penile stimulation in literature?

I can't say I've read them all, but I'd be surprised if Faulkner ever wrote a bad book.
>>
>>7408600

he actually wrote mostly bad books and a few good ones, the man was largely a hack writer with his mostly-early works attempting some sort of artistic integrity

How does one treat various short story collections when answering such a question? Should one decide if every short story by an author is "good" or just consider accepted short story collections, novels, novellas, etc.?

He's the author /lit/ deserves.

In This Side of Paradise it is. Compare that book to Tender is the Night, or even the inferior Great Gatsby.

thank you for your time
>>
>>7409086
It's an awful book
>>
>>7409079
honestly I have read Tender is The night, The Beauty and The Damned, and Great Gatsby, and my favorite was by far the most popular one. IMO it gets shit on because it's the most popular. While the other two I read were decent, they didn't always know when to end and could've used a more severe editor. I enjoyed the tight, concise nature of Gatsby because he never got a chance to get tired.
