was he retarded or something?
I don't use goodreads so I'm looking at this account for the first time. Why is he noteworthy?
>>24724398That is a name I have not heard in a very long time
He was retarded
>>24724398>Makes GRRMfags, Wolfefags, McCarthyfags, AND Christfags seetheHe was based.>>24724423One of the few GR reviewers that did actual reviews.
His review of Gor was pretty funny.
>>24724398Was you?
>>24724398based op filename. do you remember 10 years ago or so him struggling to understand book of the new sun, the true concept of an unreliable narrator and subtext and then consequently being outed as a midwit?
>>24724398what happened to him?
Just read some of his reviews. Seems like a standard midwit. Any goodread reviewers that are /lit/-approved?
>>24724515He did a great job dunking on GRRM, McCarthy, etc, but almost everything he wrote was nonsense.
>>24726346You were just mad he made fun of whatever shitty novel you loved.Keely reviewed Goblin Market and I knew he was a real nigger.
>>24726206Cope Wolfefag>Overall, I found nothing unique in Wolfe. Perhaps it's because I've read quite a bit of odd fantasy; if all I read was mainstream stuff, then I'd surely find Wolfe unpredictable, since he is a step above them. But compared to Leiber, Howard, Dunsany, Eddison, Kipling, Haggard, Peake, Mieville, or Moorcock, Wolfe is nothing special.>Perhaps I just got my hopes up too high. I imagined something that might evoke Peake or Leiber (at his best), perhaps with a complexity and depth gesturing toward Milton or Ariosto. I could hardly imagine a better book than that, but even a book half that good would be a delight--or a book that was nothing like that, but was unpredictable and seductive in some other way.>I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never really did. It all plods along without much rise or fall, just the constant moving action to make us think something interesting is happening. I did find some promise, some moments that I would have loved to see the author explore, particularly those odd moments where Silver Age Sci Fi crept in, but each time he touched upon these, he would return immediately to the smallness of his plot and his annoying prick of a narrator. I never found the book to be difficult or complex, merely tiring. the unusual parts were evasive and vague, and the dull parts constant and repetitive.>The whole structure (or lack of it) does leave things up to interpretation, and perhaps that's what some readers find appealing: that they can superimpose their own thoughts and values onto the narrator, and onto the plot itself. But at that point, they don't like the book Wolfe wrote, they like the book they are writing between his lines.
>>24726396>Mieville and MoorcockLol he was shitposting
>>24726396i referenced threads here where he actually posted who he was on goodreads. lmao. he's a fucking pseud. his goodreads reviews are an outlet to practice his shitty writing.
>>24726401Moorcock is indeed better
>>24726238>Any goodread reviewers that are /lit/-approved?Glenn Russell
>>24726235Something about not liking the GR/Amazon merger or whatever.
