Some of the most entertaining things you can read are famous writers completely trashing other famous writers.
Friedrich Nietzsche on Dante Alighieri
“A hyena that wrote poetry on tombs.”
Gertrude Stein on Ezra Pound
“A village explainer. Excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not.”
Faulkner on Hemingway
“He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary.”
Hemingway on William Faulkner
“Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words?”
Gore Vidal on Truman Capote
“He’s a full-fledged housewife from Kansas with all the prejudices.”
Oscar Wilde on Alexander Pope
“There are two ways of disliking poetry; one way is to dislike it, the other is to read Pope.”
