>marketable

>>9110210
no, absolutely not. Lolita and Underworld come to mind immediately, two best sellers

>>9110351

Would they have been published today?

>>9110310
this

Have you considered just getting off the internet for a few weeks (as much as possible)?

>That feel when you are beginning to realise your hope & aspiration of being a successful writer is becoming less & less likely with each passing day

You would only be thinking this way if you weren't pushing yourself with your reading.

You need to put more years of reading in. Read and read and read and read.

You're not as naturally brilliant as you think you are, kid. You'll have to actually work for this.

No one has, it's an unfinished work. Funny joke, Slavoj.

>>9109994
It isn't slavoj.

Clearly, just getting through volume one doesn't count. For a scholar such as Zizek, getting through the three proper volumes probably doesn't even count. For Zizek and Marxist scholars, the project probably entails going through a significant subset of the collected works of M&E, including the Grundrisse and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if something along these lines was what Zizek had in mind. I'm going to take a wild guess that Zizek has in fact read Capital Volume One all the way through, at least one time in his life, and has also read at least large chunks of the two sequel-volumes.

I'm no Marxist but I kinda like how dutifully Engels edited together the other two volumes. It was literally the last thing that he did on this earth - shortly after completing III for publication, a few months later, Engels dropped dead. I guess he'd finished his collaborator's life's work, and felt that he was done, with nothing left to do, and no strength to do it with.

Chapter one

Same as >>9109781

Then after she started trolling people on twitter, and triggering the fuck out of fags, I reevaluated and now realize she is a genius shitposter.

>>9109769
Like page one. Didn't like the prose. Didn't like the pure plot-energy. Even as a kid that just couldn't draw me.

You are a giant fagot who can't think of anything to write on his own. Certain of your mediocre doom you find this wacky website with a board where you can ask for help. You post, asking for writing prompts, and are expecting good advice but are instead met with insults, misinformation, and zero insight from where you began. Suicide is not far off.

>>9109709
holy...................... i want more.

>>9109709
is this a writing prompt about a retard who doesn't understand this thread?

>>9109600
Have you considered killing yourself?

Start with Frankenstein.

If you need /pol/shit to get through a book, start with Esther Vilar

>>9109608
Why?
>>9109610
It doesn't have to be /pol/, these are just the intellectual women I only know of

>>9109459

I stopped at the end of the first book since I thought it was too similar to Fellowship of the Ring. Worth giving it another attempt?

>>9109459
How retarded do you have to be to read such drivel unironically?

What am I looking at?

Sounds like a porn site not going there

>>9109432

It isn't.

More like Charlie's Shitty am I right my dudes hahaha hahaha

Really though I didn't read anything

Why read when you can just give up and watch TV?

yeah he was the one i immediately thought of, could you perhaps direct me to some particular works? I mean I will anyways look into him myself, but if you oculd direct me that would be nice

>>9109151
Everything that isn't fantasy. Not even jesting.

Aristotle's Rhetoric

>>9109151
Listen to Trump's speeches

>>9109084
>hasn't read Hegel
>what is even German Idealism

You're cutting in line, bud.

>>9109084
>but I heard that a lot of what he wrote was in response to Hegel
not really, K responds to Hegel but not extensively.

Most of his most famous works don't touch on Hegel at all

>>9109090
The beginning of Sickness Unto Death is a satirically blatant jab at Hegel's obscurity, and is pretty hilar, tho.

The sound and the fury.

Benjy's opening section is one of the toughest pieces of literature I've read so far.

>>9108985
gonna check this up, thanks

So lots of Oulipo, then?

I'd argue that Musil's the Man Without Qualities counts, but only due to the total lack of a perspective (in some sense, as in the title). Sections of the Mahabharata and Pound's Cantos would also qualify, since they're fucking crazy. Arguably, most Zen literature is comprised of constant perspective shifting (including stylistically). Check out Bassho for sure.


There are also certain ways to structure ideas (like Ibn al-Arabi's "ringstones") that are quite related, but usually this is done philosophically and not stylistically.
