Why was Gottfried in the rocket?

Because bananas and copraphagia le xD

Do you think David Foster Wallace's prose is vastly superior to yours, or only on an unattainable level?

>>9523718
Is this another thinly veiled woman hate thread?
Who the fuck cares what Harper Lee thinks?
If this isn't bait, then why don't you share your thoughts so we can engender a bit of discussion

>>9523726
I just did share my thought of inquiry. What else do you fucking want? Stop hating and move on to the next thread if there isn't anything you can contribute as this regards war novels and you obviously don't give a fuck.

P.S. This has nothing to do with her being a woman, but, simply, the fact that she hasn't been to war.

As someone in the military, meh, its okay.
There's a moment that would make me chuckle, and reminded me of my daily life, but in general I'd say something along the lines of Generation Kill captures the mood of the military better.

Not as much as Sebald does but they're pretty melancholic.

>art is a puzzlebox that has a clear answer when solved
I remember high school

That's a quote from an unreliable source senpai

>>9523425
The source is Jules Siegel. Pynchon was best man at his wedding.

Leopoldo María Panero

Poetry is not fucking science, you don't need to read some purported "entry level" work to get into it. In fact, this will likely just make you hate it as an art form. Just pick a theme that interests you and search for relevant poets.

>>9523439
This. Just jump right into the Verlaine and the Cantos.

>>9523287
If you can't understand Eliot and if you enjoy the mediocre doodles of Basquiat then your IQ is clearly too low to properly appreciate art. I strongly suggest that you get interested in a field that doesn't require creativity and intelligence, like maybe retail

>>9523311
what a naive assumption to spew

If you try to be someone else, you will fail. They are better at being them than you are, they've had more practice at it. But if you take what is theirs and make it your own, you will reap the rewards of their efforts and your own. Also this quote was Stravinsky's first do your fucking research.

Thanks Moot

Skepticism is fine. Scientism isn't. This idea that science is the only way to know truth has infected popular culture and it's a cancer on the brain. Despite its self refuting nature it's treated like a religion for some atheists.

Penguin Classics and NYRB softcovers are nice.

Hardcovers are unwieldy for reading.
