RE: I want to be modern, but I am classical, you know.
Wow, great idea - this mixture of fiction and real-life master authors is fascinating!
Hm, I can only guess...
Cervantes could be the helper in the museum, Leo Tolstoi the narrator?
You're super close. Only that the old man who helped him was a humanist. Think about Italian poets. And the narrator...is very very modern....
By the way, I'm really glad you liked the story! ☺️
Phew, I only found out about Francesco Petrarca after your clues and the subsequent AI survey. I've never heard of him - is that embarrassing now?!
And do I know very, very modern literature? A Russian? Wait, I'll read the other comments...
Good. Neil Gaiman.
Gaiman has repeatedly emphasized that Russian writers and Mark Twain are among his literary influences. - says ChatGPT... 🤷♀️
Neil Gaiman is a very good guess but this person is American and his book won the Man Booker prize for 2017
Okay, the hint makes him searched for easily:
George Saunders
✅ Yes, George Saunders 😅
