  • Verga’s novels. They’re greatly written, I give them that, but the author’s pretension to describe the world as it is while depicting a world that is so unrealistically cruel to the point of being funny…It annoys me to no end.

    Also, Thucydides. He is a great historian and a great writer, but he has always this bleak way of telling everything because blablabla human nature is evil, and he is always insulting Herodotus under the lines because he is so sure of being a better historian than him.

    If I want someone yelling that the world sucks I’ll just turn on the TV news. And you know what? I despise the TV news for this exact reason.
