Joseph Conrad's 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 (1899)

🚢🖤 Conrad intentionally made 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 hard to read, as he wanted the readers to feel like they were fighting through the jungle, just like Marlow fought through the jungle in search of Kurtz

Italo Calvino's 𝘐𝘧 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳 (1979)

A quintessential piece of postmodernism, this novel is a primordial nexus of ten narratives that asks concentration and time from the reader to enjoy it truly

🔴🔴 UNPOPULAR OPINION ALERT ON LITERATURE BELOW

And I am not merely stating it, I intend to explain myself. I will cite leading critics and their works to do so.

In other words, I'll be examining authorship and literariness :)

Question: What is your opinion on the role of the knowledge of literary criticism/critical analysis?

My take: Littérateurs ABSOLUTELY NEED some basic knowledge of these disciplines. You can't love football without knowing its rules
