Fifty pages in and I already think Bird is a great character. Why is this book not popular here, /lit/?

I've only read The Silent Cry by him, amazing book.

He's pretty much the anti-Mishima.

Maybe, but plenty read very well. Nip the Buds, Shoot the Kids is quite good and Silence is excellent.

Serious thread.
Is it Moral to write good pieces that scare others? Note that the feeling of fear is the most conducive to one's potential felt experience of disembodied ideas' agency and power. An ignorant Materialist or philistine might find his Other too intense and close the door for good.
Maybe this is why there is no good Horror Literature. Anyone receptive enough to receive ideas that could yield such writings knows better than to do so.

The thread is not about Joyce or Farts so I have to trigger /lit/ a bit to get enough people in here for a good discussion.
>>
>>9142228
Just so I know what we're taking about here, could you give some examples of how you view the morality of existing works/oeuvres?
Eg:
- Homeric epic
- Shakespeare's plays (split into comedy and tragedy if you feel it makes a difference)
- Don Quixote
- Jane Austen's novels
- Moby Dick
- Ulysses
If you could give us a moral assessment of the above then I feel like we'd know better how to respond appropriately.

I am in the same boat, OP. I can't even get into a side-project (shitty fanfiction for a zombie game) without being terribly insecure about how bad it's going to be. Even though I expect it to be bad because... you know, it's fanfic.
But even my "real" projects I constantly feel insecure about.

Sometimes.
It's likely that, due to its structure, it can be transposed to song very easily.
Jerusalem is a good example.

What are some great despair speeches (in books, drama, movies)?
I am talking about those speeches that a character makes when he/she thinks that all is lost, or after suffering a major loss, or when a great mental trauma finally bursts. Some examples:
Now bind my brows with iron; and approach
The ragged'st hour that time and spite dare bring
To frown upon th' enrag'd Northumberland!
Let heaven kiss earth! Now let not Nature's hand
Keep the wild flood confin'd! Let order die!
And let this world no longer be a stage
To feed contention in a ling'ring act;
But let one spirit of the first-born Cain
Reign in all bosoms, that, each heart being set
On bloody courses, the rude scene may end
And darkness be the burier of the dead!
And
Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! rage! blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drench'd our steeples, drown'd the cocks!
You sulph'rous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Strike flat the thick rotundity o' th' world,
Crack Nature's moulds, all germains spill at once,
That makes ingrateful man!
And
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

If you started using metonymy in modern public speech, people would think you're autistic

good pick OP. I read it quite long ago and didn't take any note and forgot everything. Take notes or at least make sure the main ideas remain engraved in the wax of your soul.

People do it all the time. See: Brussels as a metonym for the EU council.

I've noticed that when I read, I'll often find that I'm unable to remember small details read on a page or two previous, details such as a particular date, characters name/characteristics etc.
I'll often find myself having to re-read small sections to help details remain in my head.
I feel I subconsciously divert my attention away from the book to physical happenings around me or other thoughts in my head preventing me from remembering such details.
Curious to see how common this is, hopefully allowing me to move on from the thought that I have some disability involving memory at the ripe old age of 21.
