I would be curious to see what answer you would get from r/askliterarystudies.

I have personally avoided Faulkner and Pynchon and James Joyce, but that doesn't make them bad writers per se. What they are trying to do with language is more like what Picasso or Dali or even Warhol tried to do with paint. They are highly skilled, I just don't like their choices.

Love this comparison. I agree that he is highly skilled but is not most people’s cup of tea.
