What does /lit/ think about collections of letters?
Are there essential collections? Do you have a favorite collection?
DFW's emails are essential
>yfw you realize that future historians will be combing through and publishing collections of your e-mails and texts...

As long as they can't find my /pol/ posts...
Kafka's collection and journal is very interesting.

Historians and anthropologists will certainly realize that we just use the word 'nigger' in a colloquial sense, right?
That it's just part of the communal discourse, right?
Right?

The correspondence between Flaubert and George Sand is amazing. Uh, Hart Crane's, Nabokov's to Vera, and Wallace Stevens' are all very good as well of the top of my head.

>yfw you realize that your name and picture will become synonymous with the fall of greatness and the mere mention of your name or sight of your picture will be used as an insult, something to be laughed at and mocked, when warning your fellow man's children's children's children about what not to do and who not to be, after future historians have poured over your personal emails and texts and internet posts. Your once great artistic achievement becomes nothing more than a joke and your legacy is used as nothing more than to disparage, discredit, libel, slander, malign, defame, and denigrate.

oh those bubbling farts.

Joyce's letters actually make me long to read erotica written by him. He makes farts and shitting sound a lot hotter than I ever thought they could.
