Hey, I'm looking for an online essay I read a while back. It's a bit hazy, but basically it's written by a young woman writer describing her experience of meeting an older editor at a party and then pursuing and sleeping with him. There's at least a scene at a party, and a scene at a hotel where it's just him and her. And there's an infamous scene where I believe she describes him cumming on her shirt or a book or something.
Any leads, /lit/?

Can anyone recommend a dystopian novel
>hard mode: I have read 1984
Pic not related
We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is breddy good.
Hunger Games, The Maze Runner and Ready Player One are all very Orwellian and Kafkaesque dystopian novels that you would likely enjoy.

What are the best books that debunk religion? I don't mean Stirner, I mean books that pick apart each religion with facts.
There are none.
Depends which religion you want to debunk,
For Christianity, refer to the Bible
For Islam, the Quran
For Hinduism, the Vedas and Mahabharat
And so on
>>9717078
Sagan's one about the Demon Haunted World is pretty good, not religion specific though.
Bob Dylan is the central literary figure of the past 100 years.
>>9716802
Dunno about 100 years, but not a horrible choice.
T.S. Eliot is though. Every work after The Wasteland was in reaction to The Wasteland.
>>9716802
he isn't literary.
there's a reason that there's a /mu/ and a /lit/.
consider it proven.
OP btfo.

you might actually be a dummy
An out-of-work, schizophrenic private investigator evades hospitalization while tracing the steps of their father, a missing police homicide detective.
It's my first time writing and I am using the snowflake method. I would really like some constructive criticism on what I have so far. I feel discouraged and like I want to give up because I feel like to make my story good I will have to make it sound like somebody else is writing it.

Why is he evading hospitalization?
what is the snowflake method
As a psych patient they can't just put you in the hospital without a court order(theyd just drop you as a client and bill you ) and a welfare check requires you go voluntarily.
Are there any contemporary poets that you really like?
Is poetry a dead art? I want to contribute to the Western poetical canon, but it seems like a) no one reads poetry except academics and SJWs (but the latter is more slam poetry) b) it's unlikely to be published c) people who read poetry just look for the classics.
Let me know what you think.
Free verse killed poetry.

And be free to crush my dreams, already had it done since I wanted to be a classical pianist/composer but a) I'm more good enough and b) demand for this music is negligible
Godamnit Amazon
>>9716375
The contents of the books are intact, it is perfectly readable and the damage done will not affect its long-term durability. In short, stop being a faggot.
>>9716375
send it back. you'll get a replacement and someone else will get the option of purchasing your book at a discount from Amazon Warehouse. win/win
>>9716397
All the pages have bent corners. Its kind of pissing me off.
Are the Penguin Classics really that bad in terms of durability?

Oh man another of the same thread we've had twice this week. I sure do love browsing a catalog full of reposted threads.
They'll will last some 40 years if you take really good care of your books, most people don't, that's why they complain so much.
It's funny you ask this. I just finished Monte Cristo last Sunday. I got this book new, here is the battle damage.

Writing prompts go:
You wake up on a train missing an eye
I woke up on a train and an eye of mine was missing. I went back to sleep.
My eye was missing, which is of course normal: those of us born with the enticing disability of a fractured neural receiver for our haptic apparatus are endowed with a fate of hypnagogic amputation. Many consider it a curse, understandably, but I for one enjoy it - few things are treasured by Man as much as that fundamental feeling of Otherness that permits us to think of ourselves as Individuals. Having a body constantly engaged in wonderful, defragmenting contortions can only help the feeling.
I woke up from the pretentious verbose dream, only to realize my eye was missing so I fell asleep again.

>novel opens with a line of dialogue
defend this
>>9715780
>>9715802
Doesn't start with dialogue though
>>9715780
I like starting my books with an internal monologue, just a short sentence but it's cool, lines of dialogue are fine too especially for thrusting you straight into the story rather than having a big build up.
Post your reading lists.

Why do my ideas evaporate the moment i try to write them down?
They're not ideas, they're just the illusion of them. Your mind is empty, save for shadows.
>>9715617
Damn...
>>9715608
They had no real substance to begin with. It's usually the opposite.
