a lot of it is pretty good though tbqh

much of the works of the surrealists in the early 20th century is very experimental and from that point onwards there is plenty of really good experimental writing up through the 60's and 70's

HEY LET'S COMPLAIN ABOUT STUPID SHIT AGAIN

>classicist writers with no interest in new emerging form

its just the term
its such a pointless term
the only 'experiment' question is 'will people think its shit or not?'
which is also true for every book
its a pretentious term for making writing lots of words seem more important

I agree it is pretty pretentious as is 'avant-garde' but it's also fairly descriptive and not at all pointless.

If I see the term Oulipo in an authors biography I wont even open the book

>>7735599
oulipo is the most milquetoast experimentalism. i don't even consider them experimentalists. they're too boring.

The only thing worse than experimental writing is drug fiction
