Author Claims All Women Writers Suck, Even Jane Austen

[bluetooth16]

VS Naipaul, no stranger to literary spats and rows, has done it again. This time, the winner of the Nobel prize for literature has lashed out at female authors, saying there is no woman writer whom he considers his equal - and singling out Jane Austen for particular criticism

I'm going to nurture this beautiful fantasy of him and Margaret Atwood meeting.

It would be so glorious.

[crystaltear]

Oh, yes. I love you for this.

[bree_black]

She would tear him to fucking pieces with her brain.

Seriously like women don't get it enough from the publishers?! Now, other authors? FUCK THIS

[tresa_cho]

Ouch. Someone has been reading my fanfiction >.>;

I hope this guy didn't find my shitty AU House fanfic.

I'm just going to come out and say it.

A lot of incredible authors are women, a lot of the best authors are women, this guy talking here is a complete toolbox, but.

Jane Austen is one of the most overrated, obnoxious, and terrible authors in the English literary canon. Ever.

YOU IN DANGER GURL

(Not from me because I'm a casual Austen fan but from other people)

[doe_witch]

Oh yeah I am sitting here waiting for the gif wars even though Janeites scare the piss out of me.

[bluetooth16]

I've never seen Austen stan wars before so I'm kind of scared too.
