>Conosce soltanto due autori che scrissero in italiano

Più che in tante altre lingue, sembra che ci sia un po' di crisi in Italia per quanto riguarda la letteratura moderna. Tranne Ferrante, non conosco nessuno scrittore/nessuna scrittrice contemporaneo/a da leggere. Con contemporaneo intendo quelli che hanno pubblicato un libro negli ultimi ~10 anni.
Ne avete da consigliare?

I thought the meme trilogy were Sophocles's plays.

Sounds like a pleb didn't Start with the Greeks.

Do they only go off when you buy a Stephen King novel?

>only plebs allowed
>no pleb, no sale

Did they take the shitty novels and put it in one place specifically? One time my local bookstore took all the young adult novels and such and put them all in the same place. They have sections for certain genres, but no matter what the genre was they didn't put them with the others of the same kind.

Death on the Installment Plan and North are considered his strongests, along with Journey.

>>9556980
>Death on the Installment Plan
Besides being an incredibly shitty attempt at translating the title, the book itself bored me to no end. Journey was good and went places. Death is just incredibly long-winded account of Céline being a good for nothing boy that constantly shits his pants.

>>9556055
Yes, all is good (the later works are somewhat less popular and more hardcore), although you're losing much of the flavour if you read a translation.

His interviews on YouTube are pretty good too, if you can understand--Céline is being Céline all the time, it's not just a literary style.

Quality bait.

I hope Rooney becomes the next writer for /lit/ to hate

>"Salinger for the Snapchat generation"

Good, I havent read Catcher in the Rye yet so I'll probably never read her book. Also 3 months writing? kek

>you will never come from a prestigious background where your connections alone get you published

I made a thread earlier. Truly a great loss. Jesus' Son is a masterpiece

>>9555576
Why couldn't it have been Rupi?

Fuck.

Jesus' Son was amazing, but Tree of Smoke and Angels were even better. I even enjoyed his plays and poems. The guy wasn't capable of writing anything but high tier shit.

No, I'm actually just mired in a conflict that doesn't allow for companionship, that's alright though, for every trivial thing like that, I'm dealing blows that dwarf my own subjective condition. As in, I'm objectively and concretely still achieving something. That harms the belligerents much more than I.

Post the expanding brain meme about free will, I want that one.

Viel zu viele Kommata. Mach die Sätze kürzer, wenn du dir da unsicher bist

I'd critique yours OP but I don't understand german, and I'm afraid that vocem tuam would be lost via translation.

Here's the prologue to my newest piece I've started. It is an amalgamation of various dreams I've had, cobbled together into one coherent piece.
"He felt the snow pelt his dome. Turning he was greeted with her petulcous smirk and eyes frisking his figure. She softly giggled. He looked down, a crescent smile waxing on his countenance. The silver-bits feathering over earth and all around, clothing the undressed trees in satin sheets. Soft pastoral streams shone down on the scene. Showering the fluff-laden field in downy filters. A copse of birches thoroughgoing one flank, dark wooden posts topped with yuletide garlands the other.
“You mustn’t muss about with me, or I may become very cross and not speak to you.”
She briefly sat on this utterance, unsure. “For how long?”
“Perhaps as long as thirty seconds, I’m incredibly unforgiving you know.” He re-searched her expression once more. She said nothing, and looked at him blankly.
“I really don’t know how I’d manage.” Poof. The snow splintered upon his sharp nostrils."

Du musst nicht alles zur Apposition machen. Es wirkt auch eher informell, weil es mir immer den Eindruck gibt, jemand schiebt eine kleine Randbemerkung, hups da ist mir noch was eingefallen, in einen Satz ein, was hier scheinbar nicht der gewünschte Effekt ist. Ich schätze ja ein Komma wie jeder andere, aber in erster Linie für seine strukturierende Kraft und hier zerreißen sie den Satz.

Also lieber so.
>Prunkvolle, mit farbigen Stoffen und kunstvollen Ornamenten dekorierte Wagen machten unter Begleitung feierlicher Musik, welche die auf einigen der Wagen verteilten Musiker voller Elan spielten, nun schon ihre dritte Runde über die große Hauptstraße, die die Stadt umschloss.

If you hate Lord Henry then you're doing it right. He's loud, obnoxious, pretentious, loveless, and has nothing better to do than corrupt Dorian. You're supposed to hate him and the vain tragic path he seduces Dorian towards, away from Basil's aestheticism. The obsession with jewels and tapestry, and the gorgeous prose describing them, is meant to sicken the reader with beauty.

>>9555124
>You're supposed to hate him
Says who? It seems to me that Lord Henry is sometimes an advocate of many of Wilde's own ideas regarding art and sexuality.

> to sicken the reader with beauty.
What does that even mean?

Do you go to theaters? I went yesterday, saw an awesome one-act piece, very similar to Ionesco. Sadly it was the director's graduation project, so there will be few performances.

>>The robbers
You really do like that one? It felt like generic 19th century entertainment to me.

I want to but I wouldn't have anyone to go with.
