The Loser by Thomas Bernhard. One of the greatest books I've ever read.

Lists of works with "top" or "sell" in their titles.

I just finished yesterday. It was amazing. I loved the narrative style. It was a bit heavy to read (it's the first i read by Bernhard) but i was still very engaged.
I actually didn't know Glenn Gould was a real person until i searched the Goldberg Variations on youtube and saw videos of hims performing it

theres no islam in america and things aren't looking any brighter than europe

Huntington was more worried about the Orthodox-Slavs than the Muslim world. The Arabian peninsula has produced many ideologies that are antithetical to the 'West'/North Atlantic, but it's Russian irredentism that has continually disrupted or challenged North Atlantic interests around the world in modern times.

If it weren't for Islamic terrorism Trump never would've become president.

Satre - Nausea
Camus - Sysiphos / The Stranger

maybe some Kierkegaard or even Heidegger if you feel fancy although they're not strictly existentialist but have had quite some influence on the movement

kierkegaard - fear and trembling
nietzsche - beyond good and evil
sartre - being and nothingness
heidegger - being and time
camus - myth of sisyphus

Criterion Collection releases classics in the highest audio/video quality to match today's standards.

Penguin publishes books with edgy af book covers.

That would have to be Oxford World's Classics, New York Review Books Classics, Library of America or Everyman's Library. Penguin Classics and Norton Critical Editions are pretty good as well.

I would say this.

Deconstruction of the Subject can in no case amount to dissolution of the Subject, but he doubts such a thing is even possible

Literally read what is saying next he says it in the simplest way possible, as he says "in jargon-free language". Mods delete this thread

This is stupid a thread but its something I always think when dealing with deconstruction.

If Decostruction is always working in the text, and if there is nothing outside text (meaning that everything is mediated through grammé, singns traces, postponement and such), why wouldn't a deconstruction of the subject be possible?
And by subject I dont mean subject sub specie aeternitatis, I mean this or that given subject (me, you, the plumber, Donald Trump).
After all he makes a specific point in his critique of Husserl that conscience and its contents are always mediated by signs.

Maybe I confusing conscience and subject, but but leaving out the subject from the deconstructve "danger" wouldn't transform Derrida's project in just another, even if highly eccentric, form of trascendentalism?

Of course dissolution is out of the question, as decontructed text dont dissolve, but create new meaning.

Don't think there are good books about the last 17 years written and properly recognised for their quality.

I will however, suggest my diary.

We should respect and pretend to like godawful, tokenism poetry because it might entice someone who is actually a really good super great fantastic poet to poetry, and just didn't realize it until they read Rupi Kaur's dogshit?

It's a hell of a lot harder to write well than it is to draw naked anime girls well. Having looked at the quality of writing from this board, do you really want a writing board? There would only be a handful of people that could offer valid advice, and every thread would be people spamming their trite and uninspired poetry. I think that it'd be cool to have a writing board, but I know that it would turn out poorly.

Lit is already slow.

Do you really want a /wsr/ repeat?
How would we ever fill up 100 threads with that?

It's the same as with other /d/, /h/, <spoiler> /pol/ </spoiler> and /k/ subcommunities, it just stays as a recurring general to mild annoyance of the rest of the board, but no real harm provided duplicates aren't made.

It's all a big jew conspiracy

OP here, I've read all four of Gaddis' novels. A Frolic of his Own actually heavily influenced me and now I'm in law school. I've realised that I've spent the last few years reading way too many American and British authors and I want to branch out and explore other cultures and writers. I don't really believe in the merits of identity politics. My country is far too fatalist for that sort of thing.

Did you post a picture of Gaddis because you've never read a writer who isn't American?
