Hawkes' Story of the Stone (dream of red chambers) is the only one I would recommend to someone without specific interest in China, just as a work of fiction.

>>9515221
Stop posting Chinese literature on 4chan unless you read it first. Like Bloom said, white people can't into it.

>>9516343
White people can into it, you just have to put in an ounce of effort unlike muh English/easily translated Yuro lit.

Haven't read enough of it to form a solid opinion, but I enjoyed Butler's There Is No Year.

I dig the general surrealist, absurdist type of stuff tho

We need more of it and less pseudo-elitist posturing bullshit, as well as less escapist YA. There isn't a lot of art that captures the true confusion and cultural irreverency.

they are wrong if they're wrong dude. not wrong because of what some faggot says about post modernism. i know this is just b8, but m8, it's fucking annoying

I'd bet money OP didn't post this as b8. Peterson is charismatic, passionate, and super alluring to mildly intelligent young men who either didn't go to a proper college or don't understand history and literature and philosophy.

I'm fine with these threads.

This thread is a good case study on why you shouldn't be a reader.

you care about status because there's virtually zero chance of you doing anything capital-I important

I ocasionally see people in public transport either reading printed book or looking Up their ebook reader but yet i have to someone actually caring for what one's reading. I wonderful how you detect "normie" aspect of person just by looking.

Orientate is a shitty back-formation from the word orientation created by people who apparently didn’t realize orient was already a verb. People who say orientate need to end it.

No he just read Guy Bachelard's poetics of space and interpreted it in the worst way

Reading this book back in High School was one of the first times that I checked something out based on the positive endorsement of tons of people online only to be gobsmacked at how utterly BAD it was. How the hell could people actually recommend this shit?

Would he have anything of value to say about it if he did?

But art objects are by nature simulacrum

>>9513841
It makes reality obsolete and everything art.

>>9513841
Reality doesn't exist, it's an ideological construct.
Art is just as 'real' as 'muh bills' or whatever ideologues classify as 'real life'.
