Date: July 29th, 2017 5:58 PM Author: Awkward Athletic Conference The comparison with Joyce is interesting, because Joyce is often unreadable while describing mundane stuff, while Wolfe is highly readable while describing bizarre events. Of course even being readable it's still very hard to tell what's going on. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3688047&forum_id=2#33881163) |

who else do you recommend? |

Date: July 29th, 2017 6:24 PM Author: Awkward Athletic Conference They're all pretty different. Flashman is the most XO in themes but besides that is basically straightforward historical fiction. Gene Wolfe is much more complicated stuff; check the New Yorker link to get an idea. Maybe start with his short stories to see if you like him.
Aristophanes is the world's oldest comic playwright and most of his works ridicule shitlibs. In The Knights he ridicules Cleon by among other things suggesting he has a blown-out asshole.
There's other fiction I like out there but I'm not sure how much I'd call XO. |

Literally reading Flashman and the Dragon as I compose this poast; if you want hilariously racist and impeccably accurate historical fiction, the Flashman series is the way to go |
