as an all-around puny writer i must say that some greatnesses haven't seemed hyperbolical to me tho. they usually tend to be on the more "feminine" thread. i prefer the bed-ridden, self-indulged, swampy Proust, among the giants for example.

that just broke my heart. not cause you dis-ed Marcel, but because i see now that you are doomed. :)) i read him for the first time btw at probably the same age you'd read war and peace. maybe this is just teenage-wrestling.

I just liked that flower playing scene, that's all. What was that flower?

When I was 16. The neotenous human brain is underdeveloped at that age.

Proust was an emotional exhibitionist par excellence. Just imagine he is your roommate and you have to listen to his nagging voice about his shitty problems all day because he has also insomnia. That's the definition of hell.

lol. that goes for at least 70% of novelists i suspect. you must get educated in the art of nagging my friend. it can be a divine form of art. Beckett knew that to full extents.

you put machos down, but then you go out of your way to make a very Hemingway-ish comment on Marcel. for shame sir, for shame. ;)

No I think of Hemmingway as a macho. Feminine prose cannot be faked by some virgin French writer. The majority of modern female writers hate that sort of knock-off feminine prose.
