You thought it was okay, nothing impressive. You've seen better copyright pages.
Done reading for the day, OP?
Writers with the worst fetishes? Do you know any apart from the most famous one like Joyce's?

I almost felt that, with a few exceptions, I didn't understand the stories in Dark Entries but that didn't stop me from picking up Cold Hand In Mine recently. I haven't started it yet (may wait for autumn to roll around) but I'm intrigued to begin because I read that some of the stories are even stranger.
>writing erotica
>orgasm
>suddenly all will to write erotica vanishes
>write erotica while not masturbating
>ends up being more focused on the non-erotic aspects of the scenario and as such shitty masturbation material

what's the genre where people write fake text books and whatnot?
>>9286405
Science
>>9286412
Psychoanalysis actually
>>9286405
theory fiction
How do you summarize his thought?
simply epic
>>9286510
A biographical approach is probably easiest. His early work in the UK and the NRx stuff that he currently writes have a lot of contradictions. Any attempt to capture both in a purely theoretical framework is probably going to fall short and be confusing.
How does he feel about the anti-intellectual alt right to appropriate the dark enlightenment?
>all this cult worship of Nietzsche
>no one ever mentions his mentor, Julius Langbehn
Will /lit/ ever level up?
>>9286451
was reading nietzsche last night and desu it's not rly the same after stirner
>>9286451
Never heard of him. Seems a tad bit more antisemitic than N., and it appears he later renounced N.'s philosophy and converted to Roman Catholicism.

Is there any author that can truly be considered amazing? The way that I see it, there's no author that can do anything but rearrange the molecules inside your brain to give different physical structures in your brain when you think. Then there's the fact that the only way to give yourself actual information is to read non fiction or fiction based on fact. Is all fiction basically just unsatisfying rearranging of molecules inside of your brain, which doesn't actually aid you that much at all?
>>9286372
You've amazed me by authoring that post without having a brain stem.
