It's not a "poor translation", corn is not maize outside of the new anglosphere.

>The word "corn" outside North America, Australia, and New Zealand refers to any cereal crop, its meaning understood to vary geographically to refer to the local ...in British English, "corn" can mean any cereal.

Because DFW uses the word 'scrotum-tightening' on page like 729 or something and you don't get the reference if you haven't read Ulysses

I'm being facetious but on a serious note it applies to the use of stream of consciousness in both works

What I meant is that you shouldn't think that DFW's style is his very own product with no real influence, because reading Joyce, Pinecone and Oulipo shows that he was indeed influenced by quite some parties, even if in the end he was a superior writer when it comes to some things

Said Jack Gladney was the chairman of Hitler Studies on the back of the cover. I figured there'd be more Hitler.

Hard to tell if you don't know about Burroughs already. It's more colourful than Naked Lunch. Contains much anal sex for no particular reason, as well as systematic descriptions of penises and their hues. It's very gay, is what I'm trying to say.

I think the majority of /lit/ shits on Murakami. I've only read Kafka on the Shore, and I am not interested in reading anything else by him as I hear he's a one-trick pony. While I enjoyed the sense of mystery it managed to engender in me, when I read that Murakami literally stated this >>7599945 with regards to it, I started considering him a massive, irredeemable faggot.

christmas.jpg

>>7603608
Basically, the picture depicts a really shitty poor christmas. The kids got the most basic presents (notebooks and such), the tree looks awful and the whole picture was taken in a hospital, meaning some loved relative of them was probably dying at that moment. Still, they try and force out a smile.

Crime and punishment actually elaborated a lot on the themes of poverty, illness and the desperate attempt to make the best out of it. There is a subplot in there about a drunkard's family, which Dostoyevski intended as a separate book at some point in time, before it got incorporated into C&P. That part really stuck with me, because I did not expect it, while the Raskolnikov part I was already somewhat familiar with from all the reviews and whatnot.
>>
>>7604093
Oh yeah, cheers mang :) Nice imagery
>>
>>7599435
Yeah 1Q84 was a complete travesty compared to any of his other books. I'll be honest, I kind-of enjoyed the first and second part, but the third - holy shit did it drag ON and ON... All the supernatural cool cult stuff that they built up in the first two gets thrown out of the window, some asshole bangs on a door and the dude's father is dying. That's it! Fuck the third book.
