Has a woman ever written a masterpiece?
The Making of Americans by Gertrude Stein
>>8248595
yes, please stop posting this thread now
mój cień jest kobietą
odkryłam to na ścianie
on się uśmiechał falistością linii
i ptak bioder o zwiniętych skrzydłach
na gałęzi uśmiechu śpiewał
drzewo kwitnące
obwieszone zielonymi papugami
poprzez skrzydła
pomarańcza złota dojrzałość
słońce na kroplach połyska
w deszczu
proste i nagie drzewo
moje usta uchylone piersi
wschodzący księżyc rzęs zamigotał
i zgasł
gdy zdmuchnąłeś zapałki płomień
i oparłeś na ramionach moich dłonie
mój cień był kobietą
nim zniknął
>>8248603

just how low is your bar for masterpieces?
i don't really have patience for "masterpieces" but it's an excellent book that you probably haven't read
>>8248608
This.
>>8248681
bait much?
>>8248722
isak dinesen or george sand then

>>8248722

>>8248595
Has OP ever written a passable shitpost?
Mary Shelley
Because... Frankenstein, duh
>>8248608
To the Lighthouse and Mrs Dalloway are masterpieces also.
>>8248608
This. It's beautiful.
Middlemarch was written by a girl named George
Iris Murdoch wrote some great stuff.

Look at this image and tell me men are good writters.
>>8249388
None of those are masterpieces and you know it, try for Ulysses tier.
>>8249388
>mfw that list
>>8249507
>tales of genji
>not ulysses tier
try reading either of them before you wreck yourself like this again bro
>>8249388
>no to the lighthouse
ok kid
>>8249507
ulysses has it's own tier, middlemarch is in the same tier as GR or recognitions
Has man?
>>8249767
wew lad
Also gonna say Middlemarch, it really is a very very good novel, one of the best in the English language.
>>8249779
>>8249767
I can agree with these lads, georgey really has some incredible depth, even if some of the things she says are sweeping generalizations at times, it's a beyond impressive novel, if jane austen was at the helm it'd be about half the length and 3/4th the insight.
Hamlet
The Waves
To the Lighthouse
Frankenstein
Middlemarch
Jane Eyre
just to name a few
>>8249388
Read Jane ( good but not Wuthers) and PnP ( fun but a bit frowsy ) + a bunch o flan stories ( real good), thought the film of Persepolis was a ghastly bore. Would you recc me a translation for T o G based on my reactions to above?

>it'll be incomprehensible to you because it relies on a well read reader who is au fait with poetry and proverbs of the time
>chic lit
Yeah, all those chicks into Lolita must have really put you off that too.
>>8248813
Eh, personally I think it's good, very good even, but not a masterpiece. I remember having issues with the fact that all the characters seemed to sound the exact same when they talked, and far too many examples of repeatedly using certain words and phrases (one particular example I remember is the word arduous or some form of it appearing on every other page). Not too mention I found it to be much too direct in some of its ideas. I like some subtelty.
>>8249925
THARRRRRRR SHE BITESSSSSSSSSSSSS

2000 pages without names lul good luck though

this meme is so funny lol
THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING BOOK FUCK EMMA BY NONE OTHER FUCKER THAN MOTHERFUCKING FAME QUEEN JANE FUCKING AUSTEN FUCKHEAD
No.
Not a single one, nor will they ever. Women simply don't have the emotional profundity or intellectual maturity required to create a truly elevated work of art.
why do you spend you energy perpetuating lazy stereotypes?
Why do you hate women?
>>8249908
>>8250015
Closer to Ancient Kyoto...
but I didn't get any Sex& the City from it...
>>8250499anon hasn't read it, anon just feels the need to lie about it because anon's an insecure twat
>>8248595
more importantly, why are people so insecure about this that they are actually replying to this thread?
Emma Watson wants to write a novel
I really want to write a novel - Emma Watson
#WhatIReallyReallyWant
Years of art I really do love it, and I'd love to write.
>>8250517
>assuming they're insecure
it's easy pickings, they might just be lazy. it would explain the people who aren't saging their contribution.
>>8250516
it's okay, fyam, I've only read half of it, thought it was about to get bad.
>>8250827
lol, it's not like murasaki bothered to finish it either
Um, what about that little nigger girl who wrote all of Shakespeare's plays? Smdh senpai
>>8248595
Ugh. Why does sexism still exist?
>plebs itt calling fucking middlemarch a masterpiece
Uh huh. How was your first year of literary study, undergraduate?
>>8248608
Lol
>>8248688
Lolol
>>8250837
Didn't mean I wasn't finishing it this week~
Death doesn't count as giving up.
Besides, it was corrupted and rescued a couple time over the centuries, it might've been completed for all we know.
>>8249388

Anything by Virginia Woolf
>>8249507
ulysses is hollow. it's not a masterpiece
Apart from the classics,
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
The Conservationist by Nadine Gordimer
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Pat Barker's Regeneration novels
>>8251375
>hollow
mate, it's literally full
>>8251375
kek, the imbeciles on this fucking board
>>8248595
You should be more careful with those kinds of threads, lads!
With every post hating on women writers the spirit of Jane Austen gets stronger, until it's finally strong enough to break from its otherworldly sphere and manifest in a spectral form. And then she's going to haunt every shitposter and drive him mad with witty banter.

my fetish t b h
>>8251489
>people told me he was great so he must be
Even if anon is wrong about Joyce, he's not a fucking echochamber. There're many reasons that spring to mind why anon could be calling the work "hollow". To give only two, but countervailing, points you could take it as critique of: the bathetic style, which is intentional on Joyce's part; the superficial use of foreign terms under the pretense of worldliness, which Joyce attempts to obfuscate.
Meanwhile, you expect other people to take you seriously on Joyce when you couldn't work out any potential argument from anon's use of "hollow", or any potential counterargument besides "it must be good because people told me it's good". You think you're defending Joyce but you're proving that anon's point.
>>8248730
This guy gets it, too bad about the venereal disease, Isak was fine as fuck
Too bad she gets neglected because not everyone considers it 'English' literature, and Danes almost exclusively read Dinesen as Blixen, which is just not the same. It's also a shame when people just read the African Farm when they should be reading something like Anecdotes of Destiny.
>>8251375
I feel like this is an easy sentiment to get, if you only read the book once and take it like any other book - it comes off overwritten and pretentious, but you have to read it more carefully, study, get some footnotes or a guide, don't be so shallow.
>>8250991
It's legit the only book I have ever given up on. Once you get bored of all the phoney elegiac nonsense there's just nothing else to like about it.
>>8249920
>good but not Wuthers
I stopped reading Wuthers midway since I kinda lost interest in it.
It's hilarious how the heroine and her love interest are both kinda horrible people. What a damn crazy family they are.
>>8251415
>The Handmaid's Tale
What a fucking SJW book. The lead is such a fucking slut.

>>8251486
Don't worry. I'll summon the spirit of my boy Charles Dickens to repel her. His humor is superior after all.
>>8252928
I wish I can find Dickens' response to Charlotte Bronte calling Esther shit.
Woolf many times
>>8252918
A slut is just a woman with the morals of a man.
>>8253005
you seem extremely triggered
>>8253005
Aha, a fellow enlightened one on the path of the Redpill!
*tips fedora*
>>8252913
I really liked that about it, I thought it was kind of brilliant how much compassion I had for these two twisted fucks, testament to the power of love.
>>8252767
U is the 4th best pleb. Try NU-MALE FEMINIST SCUM
> I took one social studies class now I go on the best lit websites and try and say women can write becuase I hate meritocraceary
> I have never read Ocean's 11 or any real tier shit like Eros and Spoon
>>8253001
Wrong: a slut is a woman with the morals of a woman. Are you a woman? If you are I will fight you and I will win because I am a black belt and I beat up my mom and sister yesterday and now they're dead.
>>8253058
No I'm not a woman but I have a spyderco pocketknife so you better watch out champ.
>>8253051
>meritocraceary
>>8248664
American "education"...
Also, yes, "mémoires d'Hadrien", Marguerite Yourcenar
