I’m not sure I understand what you mean: Works written by James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Javier Marías, Dante, Chaucer, Tolstoy, Cervantes, Montaigne, Kafka, Roberto Bolaño, Julio Cortázar, and even Shakespeare are read just for pomposity? Their content is not worth the effort in understanding them? It’s all just for putting on airs which anyone can easily do by reading a summary?
