If you write a long essay about how moral ambiguity in fictional characters enables dictatorships and is antithetical to European culture, I am suddenly significantly less interested in your fiction #litsci #LitStud

[…]to admire the brass knockers and their regularity; to observe butchers tendering joints and cooks receiving them; to reckon the incomes of the inhabitants and infer their consequent submission to the laws of God and man — one has only to go to Wimpole Street and drink deep of the peace breathed by authority in order to heave a sigh of thankfulness that, […] #Flush #novel #modernism #LitStud #book

@ajenkins Johnson's writing is, in the original language, very idiosyncratic, to the point where his own publisher gave up on correcting some of it. I have no Polish so I can't judge Reymont but it strikes me as more straightforward, but also, Johnson interrogates history - between two dictatorships and the cruelty of contemporary Western politics. Reymont is valuable in part for depicting the polish peasantry *as is* - offering clarity as a mild form of political critique. #litstudies #LitStud
