Is Hogg actually good literature, or is it just edgy shit?
>>
>>8227464
Of course it isn't.

Lolita is fantastic literature with a lot of eroticism. Sade too. And a bunch of the latin americans like Cortazar.

Hogg is badly written edgy shit, most likely only lauded for Alinsky tactics. I'd take Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty over Hogg any day.

Chinua Achebe was a real memester when he wrote about Heart of Darkness and it kind of made intelligent people realise that he didn't understand the ideas explored in HoD (essentially he just called it racist and colonialist), and as a result people have begun to suspect that he didn't really appreciate many of the nuances of the views that he espouses in Things Fall Apart. Still, it's a very good book and certainly one that will last. Try reading it instead of listening to a few critics, ESPECIALLY if they are critics off of this board.
