a part of judging writers i think is looking at what they did as aprt of their time, and its not so fair to just put them all in the same group , as obviously each generation is building off of what the last has done.... ive been sick of shakespeare before but he has been re-introduced to me recently as a a guy who wrote in a time where everyone was comparing their lovers to sunbeams and summers nights and flying rainbow lazers and what not , and he made it a point to say that his lover WASNT like that , that those standards are crap , but that he loved his partner anyway . i can respect him for just doing something new for what he knew .
ive been aggravated for chuck palahniuk's work but ultimately i always go back for seconds and thirds . the style itself gets aggravating, yeah , but he still manages to capture small strange essences of humanity in a clear , clever, yet digestable way .
