ITT: authors with obvious self-inserts

>>21983671 (OP)

What is it about JJ that makes his writing "difficult"? Explain it to me like I'm a child, please.

His diction and syntax are unorthodox, requiring some level of concentration to parse

You‘ll learn when you‘re older. Now how about some baseball, kiddo?

Lev Tolstoy

>diction and syntax

Doesn't sound so bad. Does the writing itself make sense if you can understand what the sentences are individually trying to say or do you have to be a lit chad to understand the meaning he is trying to convey?

>But old sporty, as endth lord, in ryehouse reigner, he nought feared crimp or cramp of shore sharks, plotsome to getsome. It was whol niet godthaab of errol Loritz off his Cape of Good Howthe and his trippertrice loretta lady, a maomette to his monetone, with twy twy twinky her stone hairpins, only not, if not, a queen of Prancess their telling tabled who was for his seeming a casket through the heavenly, nay, heart of the sweet (had he hows would he keep her as niece as a fiddle!) but in the mealtub it was wohl yeas sputsbargain what, rarer of recent, an occasional conformity, he, with Muggleton Muckers, alwagers allalong most certainly allowed, as pilerinnager's grace to petitionists of right, of the three blend cupstoomerries with their customed spirits, the Gill gob, the Burklley bump, the Wallisey wanderlook, having their ceilidhe gailydhe in his shaunty irish.

I take it back. This looks very difficult.

F Gardner in his own books.

Something no Irish person will admit is that no one understands another person when they start to talk like this, it’s all about being the most earthy and quaint; seeing who can out peasant each other in the dialect.

He’s free styling a private little jest in the narration knowing that it will have to be skimmed for meaning, just like you’d smile and nod to any gruff fucker in the bar who is more Irish than you.

He still wear the kimono too

holy fucking kino

Where is it from?

Finnegans Wake

how has no one posted the obvious answer yet? pretty much every protagonist of every story he wrote is a self insert

christ

He asked for authors

See 'The Plan of The Life of a Great Sinner'

Both names take up the same space in the image, why waste time typing when I had it ready?

Dan Abnett is the fucking worst with this and doubly so because he writes good military sci-fi otherwise but rereading the Gaunts Ghost series made physically cringe at some parts
