Lots of short stories. to read and shit

Just sharing a cool little thang.  Despite being named American Literature, there's lotsa not American stuff there, which is good because America is a total shithole.

Seriously, TVC, America has produced a good share of writers--Steinbeck, Whitman, Updike, Cather, and on and on.

America was decent, but Hemmingway came along, and his terrible influence let people with no writing skillz think they could write well.  Hemmingway fagged up the 20th century.  Faulkner was the right path, not Hemmingway.

I totally agree with that, though.  College English professors love that bitch, though, like he was Jesus Christ or something.

Gogol's The Overcoat is there, and I have previously whored Gogol here.  No idea how good the translation is.

The entirety of Dubliners is there, too.

I already bought a Gogol collection (which includes The Overcoat) on your recommendation.  More!
