The Six Types of Writers

[rowens]

I don't know what you disagree with. Also, I think parts of some of Sartre's novels are OK. There is so much attention to the good old writers of fame, the types of writers and typical writer personalities that those things become easy entertainment and writing material for academic writing and angry unpublishable writers. But then there's someone like Cormac McCarthy who sends you back through Hemingway and Faulkner on every page but never mentions any writers or anything explicitly literary at all. Kafka had that quality. The aliened individual in modern society stories are usually over-packed with literary crutches or they are the flat, style-lacking kind. Or both.
