Is that a loss meme

Qur'an

IQ of 98 here, I really enjoyed Ulysses, has some nice zany humor and fart jokes etc.

The God Delusion.

For example, Yukio Mishima wrote chatty articles for women's magazines.

William Faulkner apparently did Hollywood scripts.

Has there ever been a case of these cash-ins coming back to haunt an author?

Dickens and other 19th century authors who wrote for serials made careers of it.

opus pistorum

>The following is an affidavit filed by Milton Luboviski at the United States Embassy in Paris on March 10,
1983 affirming the circumstances under which he commissioned Henry Miller to write Opus Pistorum:
In the summer of 1940, I was a partner in the Larry Edmunds Bookshop at 1603 North Chuenga
Boulevard in Hollywood, California. In September of that year, Henry Miller arrived at the bookshop on a
Sunday afternoon when the shop was closed. He knocked on the door, introduced himself and I
admitted him to the shop. That began a friendship which lasted some thirty-five years or so. At that
time, Henry had little or no money and knew very few people in California. I befriended him, helping him
with money from time to time, introducing him to people and, at one point, finding him a place to live.
On September 1, 1941 Larry Edmunds died and I became sole owner of the bookshop. In those days the
shop was not doing well and I supplemented our income by selling various items of pornography
whenever it was possible to obtain them. My customers were mainly studio producers, writers and
directors such as Joseph Mankiewicz, Julian Johnson, Daniele Amfitheatrof, Billy Wilder, Frederick
Hollander, Henry Blanke, and others.
Henry, being in need of money, offered to write material for me that I would be able to sell. I offered to
pay him one dollar per page in return for all rights to the material he would write for me. Shortly
thereafter he began to bring in several pages at a time and I paid him in cash at the agreed rate. Within
a few months the pages had accumulated into a complete book which he entitled Opus Pistorum.
When he gave me the last pages, around the middle of 1942, I recall his saying "Here is the end of the
book. I hope you make a few months' rent from it."
I retyped the entire manuscript, making four carbon copies. I then had all five copies bound by a book
binder and, thereafter, sold copies to Julian Johnson, Daniele Amfitheatrof and Frederick Hollander. A
few years later, I gave a copy to my friend, Robert Light, and kept the original for myself.

This is why I hate women more and more every day.

Godot is a mere concept... we don't know if he exists in fact

Kant sounds pretty pissed of in his Prolegomena.

There is but you would be non-stop cringing at it, just how you'd cringe at musical lyrics if you took the background noise away for a moment.

Imagine the difference between being at a Death Grips concert and growling tough lyrics in mass of energized people, then imagine reciting the same stuff calmly at a Christmas dinner and having everyone analyse it.

A book takes away the cringeprotectors. Try reading Elliot's manifesto or SJWs on Facebook to see how that style sounds in real life.

Form can be violent and aggressive more so than content because content is contextual and demands more of intellect than does form. An edgy poem written on a scrap of paper handed to a friend is not going to have the same effect as a well orchestrated propaganda campaign where the content is plastered everywhere.

I like to imagine poems like bombs, bursting through wires onto a billion screens, some content bouncing around like an old Microsoft screen saver. That'd be aggressive prose. Style is worthless.

Why?

There are.
You just have to view them from the right position.
That position being a position of power.
