"Essence" does not at all mean the same thing. You can argue that Sartre didn't invent much and rather pillaged former authors, but his main ideas are clearly anti-hegelian.

Wasn't Sartre a hack who couldn't make up his mind and flipflopped between philosophical ideologies?

No.

It must just be one of those things that comes with time. At least I hope so.

The thing about facing the void is that you can't just will yourself to do it and think you're done. You need some measure of inspiration to truly become whole through the experience.

probably when Joe gets shitfaced during the citizen chapter and starts shitting on Bloom and throwing out wrong words in his head.

but honestly just anything with Buck Mulligan

>>9134909
Surprisingly, Buck Mulligan and the Ballad of Joking Jesus killed me. I say surprisingly, because I think it was in only the first 10 pages of the book.

Also, Circe is probably the funniest chapter in the book period IMO, especially the part where Bloom turns into a woman, the mere writing of which is making me laugh because it's so fucking ridiculous.

>>9134909
Bloom's transforming wardrobe of outfits that change out every time he has dialogue or an action in the chapter with long sections written like a play really gave me the giggles.

Talking about that one guy's death, "and a great future behind him". Lots of little lines like that throughout the book that caught me unawares.

I have read Ninety Two in the Shade.

Think of McGuane as Pynchon-like unspooling prose style with realistic non-Pynchonian plot.

>>9134552
His early books The Sporting Club and The Bushwhacked Piano are pretty funny. 92 in the Shade starts getting a bit grimmer. I read a couple of his middle aged and wistful books and didn't like them as much as his younger books. They were still humorous but a mellower type of humor.

I'd like to remind you that a good thread died for this shit.

Pynchon

They're both huge with college sophomores

Literature has no equivalent

Music has no equivalent....etc etc

you think like a middle schooler that is for sure

This is the most subtle 'redpill me on libcucks' yet.

>>9134312
How is it limited to libcucks? Also I'm only confirming since a quick google search doesn't yield any results.

His first four are all total worth it.
Then Chimera.

Then Letters, the ultimate meta-fiction novel.

Barth is one of those "read works in chronological order" writers.

You made three grammar errors and used a nonsensical term in an eleven-word sentence. Please go away and learn English.

It it just that hi's synchronicity is being controlled

I've always thought that since Smedryakov was the only other person in the house at the time, who was not killed, the murder scene was meant to show how different people can view the same evidence and come to different conclusions. After the trial, Raskolnikov is found guilty, even though Smed privately confessed and even presented the money which he said was his motive. So I think its about how facts and evidence are less important than narrative and how "truth" gets created out of who tells the most compelling story. The judicial system obviously comes in for some pretty heavy satire. Dosty tried pretty hard to make it clear that evidence and prosecutorial zeal had sealed Raskolnikov's fate, despite his ultimate innocence.

It's a reference to L'Etranger and Der Process.

By being a scene in it.
