Something something red queen. My bitch ex took it. Probably using it to weave all sorts of ill-fated tantric demons around town.

Read the Song of Songs.

>>9855056
i dunno that it's an obligation. we read his books, we enjoy them or whatever. we didn't purchase tickets to meet with the guy or to see interviews. there was no contract broken, no offer made other than "hey kid, wanna read a book?"
that was it. if the guy wants to live in privacy, it is not an act of violating some obligation.

He doesn't owe you jack shit famalam, this is man is an American, he's not from your commie pinko eurotrash country. Be grateful he lets you read his books.

I don't want to see or know anything about him. Look at someone like DFW. I feel like his work would be received far differently if he wasn't such a prominent figure whose philosophy and process was out on display. I love that Pynchon is mysterious, because his work is dense and mysterious. I don't want to hear about how he writes or his personal philosophy. I have my relationship with his work, and I enjoy discussing it with others. Let his work stand on its own. The very worst thing I can imagine is him spilling his secrets

Heh... let me guess... you've only ever read this book ONCE?

You call yourself a reader you son-of-a-bitch?

>>9855001
don't bother he;s trash and has been thoroughly discredited.

>>9855004
In what way has it been discredited?

Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious.

>Alone in Deep Space, Jakub discovers a possibly imaginary giant alien spider, who becomes his unlikely companion. Over philosophical conversations about the nature of love, life and death, and the deliciousness of bacon, the pair form an intense and emotional bond.
Sounds like reddit, desu

Found him extremely relatable, and an accurate depiction of wizardy and autism after browsing /r9k/ for 3 years.

>Why is it that, "it may very well be necessary," for such a man to exist in society?
Someone has to be on the bottom for others to be on top.

>>9854946
It may very well be necessary for the very fact that for every Napoleon there are dozens of people (if not hundreds, if not thousands) that believe themselves above morality, as driving instruments of progress through amoral actions.

The Underground Man is the logical conclusion of social isolation and misanthropy. We all know that these feelings exist because we all feel them, Dostoyevsky simply made like William H. Gass, America's foremost prose stylist, and turned up the volume.

>>9854935
Be used his publishers pay him to add pedophilia content into his stories.

Case in point: the child gangbang in 'IT'.

Salem's Lot is Man-Boy from the 1st line and fairly ends with them declaring their love for one another. The kid has a bondage scene.
In The Shining, that Furry ghost offers to suck Danny Torrance's cock.
Do I need even mention The Dark Tower? Or Jake's pants falling off when he "comes back" in vol 3?
In The Stand, the 10 year old autistic boy gets a hardon looking at a girlie mag, King delights to tell us...

>>9854935
are all writers pederasts or something

Just Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Agamemnon wasn't at all guilty for going to war, though Clytemnestra did think he was immensely guilty of failing to protect his daughter, but the main problem that he should be guilty about is bringing another woman into the house. Orestes was correct in avenging his father as the father is at the top of the family's hierarchy and is ultimately absolved by the gods for his guilt.

>but the main problem that he should be guilty about is bringing another woman into the house
You mean Cassandra? But wasn't it common for them to bring back dozens of woman-slaves after a war? Also, you seem to be implying that Clytamenstra has more of a duty to her husband than to her daughter.

It's a Greek tragedy, man. As soon as you find yourself as character in a Greek tragedy, you're as good as fucked. Whatever you do, you just can't win.

Uh, Canticle for Leibowitz?

swan song

>>9854868

Burroughs and Gyson had some nutty theory about a proto-human civilization that bombed itself into a mutation (modern humanity). It does parallel the Book of Dzyan that describes the Lemurians and Atlantians.

Do you mean total eradication or the aftermath of a virtual eradication?

and what did you learn?

do you know cases of homossexuality in greek myths?
i think i'm only aware of that with hyacinth and apollo
