/lit/ is a Marxist/Communist board. You won't find help here. Go back to /pol/ Drumpftard

Yeah I imagine this would get a lot of traction very quickly.

That's cute.

there are not many good right wing authors (there's hamsun etc....but not manyn others). there is no conspiracy within the publishing industry to exclude right wing authors.....they simply don't exist in any considerable numbers.

by starting a magazine with the premise of using right wing authors you are shooting yourself int he foot by essentially trying to sell a poor product....i.e a literary magazine full of shit work.


good luck

It's amazing how a mainstream movie is so much more powerful than all the literature. Literature really is for plebs who are in denial.

>>9292065
You're a big shitposter

their thugnotes was gimmicky but tolerable, earthling cinema as well but it became pleb-service featuring shit movies. That fucking 8-bit philosophy and the wisecrack director/creator weighing in with Game Theory brand of fucking 'the philosophy behind' is just fucking cringe and should be enough to take the shitty channel down.

>>9292019
Absolutely not. McCarthy is a storyteller, not whatever postmodernism claims to be.

>>9292019
Later McCarthy are little better than adventure novels, and as such could probably be put under genre fiction.

Suttree, Blood Meridian, and Child of God are all subversive and inconoclastic takes on traditional Americana (the southern gothic, the western, the serial killer) and as such could probably be considered postmodern. The obscurantist end of Blood Meridian for example, or the sympathetic take on Lester's search for "love".

There are practically no authors who identify themselves as postmodernists. It is a term used by critics that has come into currency because of its convenience for critics. Don't get hung up on the term, or in trying to suss out whether your favorite author fits neatly into a category with no clear borders or definitions.
My hot take:postmodernism doesn't even exist. We are still in the late stage of modernism where inferiority is the focus, it's just that the landscape of the inner has changed/is changing fast and drastically.

>he thinks capitalist-mandated art has any purposes beyond creating weath for the entity that comissioned it
At least socalist realism and relgious iconography aspired to be trancidental.

That does seem like a strange mistake to make if you read the book.

whats it about

>>9291826
Higher dimensional beings manipulate a mans fate in a ritualistic manner for their own divine purpose

>>9291820
Meaning what, method? Depends on style. Maybe picture a scene. You don't have to start at the beginning

Or motivation? Forbid yourself from fapping until you've completed a certain amount of pages

You want to make sure your resume isn't too long, only a couple pages. But if you have the space then I'd say sure, go for it. People think Latin is a magical litmus test for intelligence, so it may help a little.

>>9291494
Which sort of jobs are you applying for OP?

>>9291494
You might get away with mentioning Latin, but it depends on the job really.
