It's written like shit. PAGES AND PAGES OF NONSTOP DIALOGUE.

>>9993458

It's not written like shit. I think it can get airy fairy when Dominique bits are emotional but that's it.

I can see why you'd say that if you were some sort of modern literary fiction or pomo worshipper who has an MFA. But these people are faggots.

Why do you want to read about the literature instead of reading the literature.

>>9993357
I'm already reading the literature, i want some secondary sources to complement my reading and to understand better what i'm reading.

Yu Hua has some good stuff, bought stories of ah q because Yu Hua was influenced by Lu Xun but haven't got around to reading it.

Is Mo Yan a good writer?

Republic of Wine is pretty good.
I find it somewhat funny and somewhat disgusting, but the multi-layered plot is pretty good. The character names are often just puns.
If you had to deal with corrupt bureaucracy and communists before, you will feel at home.

If I may.... I present for /lit/'s consideration what I assert to be The Patrician's Choice of notebooks.

Muji's A5, unlined & completely plain, ringbound notebooks. I find these to be good quality, not too expensive or pretentious, and a pleasure to write on. Importantly they're not lined. I can't stand ruled notebooks.

Bumping for interest
Also are the Hannibal books worth reading?
The Silence of the Lambs movie was pretty neat imo, didn't see the others tho

no one gives a shit chud. There are lots of reactionary critical theorists.

Make sense considering both schools of thoughts detest capitalism

>>9992846
Being reactionary isn't cool anymore, its fedora-tier.

Is a hook sentence some kind of common core thing?

Psychology is the best side of Philosophy applied to the modern man with the scientific method. Discuss.

I don't understand.

good on them. it's about as much as an audiobook distributor could do in such a situation

This is one of the worst aspects of capitalism, it's so thick and gooey and stuck together like a capitalism baklava shit sandwich that it's hard to even pry apart and make sure you note every layer, but it's like your house burns down and CAPITAL ONE sends a genetically engineered cyborg to your front lawn to say

Thank fucking god the Pringles spokespeople tweeted solidarity for the victims of a plane crash in Calcutta, thank god the Kickstarter people are Kickstarting a cacmpaign to add "Support #RapeAwarenessDay" to the new Batman vs. Justice League movie. Thank god the hurricane was addressed by Lindsay Lohan's publicist, I need to know what Angelina Jolie thinks of the Trump administration, I need to know that Toyota has my back when it comes to my decision to have my breasts removed and become a man, I need BRISK Lemonade to partner with Old Spice to collaborate on a documentary about Cambodian refugees and buy exactly six thousand "Do the Dew!" protective sun visors for the sufferers of the nuclear meltdown in Tai Pei, Labatt Breweries Proudly Supports The Transnigger Alliance, an Official Statement from the CEO of Tropicana "We at Tropicana are utterly dedicated to the values of truth, justice, and liberty for all.

There's a turn around '38, with Adventurous Heart. After that he focuses more on the anarcho-botany. So get yourself Adventurous Heart and On the Marble Cliffs, his WWII diaries. Everything I've read by him was great.

Bolano seems to have had a thing for him, though I haven't read him, but Junger makes an appearance in By Night in Chile and 2666 if I'm not mistaken.

If you can read German, get the Schmitt-Junger correspondences and then translate them into English. Thanks!

I wholly support this thread.
