The 30 Harshest Author-on-Author Insults In History

[cfabel]

Just a random thought. Perhaps much of Twains writing are rife with
fragments of humor that do not illuminate, that entail no recognition, that
are more like comic relief than emancipation?  Faulkner's humor seems not so
much a relief as recognition of the human condition?

                 I'll take Faulkner's body
                 of work over Twain's any day.

Agreed, but that was not the question.
