Well,he deserved it I guess.
A song like ''Hurricane'' or ''Subterranean Homesick Blues'' are true pieces of literatura at my point of view.
Alson,the Nobel was more like a tribute in life for him.

How many times must be a man be meme'd, before you can give him the prize?

His lyrics aren't that good. Should have gone to Leonard Cohen (RIP)

Is this a real question? Are you fishing for that thing from Ira Glass?

>>8869411

No. Many great authors just had a natural talent for storytelling and often had their first writings be promising masterpieces. This "you gotta practice" shit is just a meme that only applies if you want to write forgettable mediocrity.

it's impossible to get good at something at look cool while doing it

there are obvious examples of writers who were born with talent, you are not one of them but that doesn't mean you won't ever write something that's not garbage

le pire dans tout ça c'est que les étrangers pensent que c'est un bon écrivain lmao

>>8869245

Being depresses is part of their identity, they have been told all smart people are depressed that means they also have to be that way.

Listen to audiobooks while you rape and earn money.

Fucking answer me you cunts, I'm in psychic pain here.

did he see star wars?

What do you think the last word on him will be? Personally, I'm inclined to think that "he was not for an age, but for all time," but there's no wikipedia or any website for me to check on to see if, in general, people feel the same way.

He was a blind faggot and a hack sci-fi writer who was good at referencing shit to make critics feel smart.

I just so happen to work in the Admissions Office at Kyoto School. Whats your ACT score?

Stop smoking so much weed, lad

Yes, it's absolutely horrible. Filled with clichés. Give up.

>also, critique thread i guess
If you're too dumb to post it in the ongoing critique thread then there's no point in reading anything you've written.

really terrible and cringey sorry lad

>What do you think Littlefingers end game is?
To be a shonen anime-tier villain who does everything according to keikaku in increasingly bullshit ways before being killed in the second-to-last book, thus removing the last remnant of the political thriller aspect of the series and turning it into full-on good vs. evil fantasy schlock.

>Who really built the wall?
Bran, who sends his spirit back in time at the end and hijacks someone's mind to make them build it in a stable time loop, with the final twist being the Bran we know in the series actually being Bran the Builder.

>Who do you think will "win" the game of thrones?
Jon and Caloreesi will marry and le meme dwarf will be their hand.

>He is one of the smartest people in the story and clearly likes the ladies.

I've accepted it, and I'm not a very religious person. I've always doubted. I've just come to accept it.

When you want to die it disappears.

If there is no afterlife then being dead is more like going to sleep without any dreams, which can be pretty pleasant anyway. You won't even notice it's forever since there is no more perception of time.

>writing a memoir

>>8868914

Why write a memoir, when others with write several biographies?

Aint nobody wanna be reading about me spending 16 hours a day playing videogames and shitposting.

>>8868906
I'd rather kill myself than whore my intellect like that for shekals.
Pathetic

>Duuude just write for cracked, what are ye a fedora bro?

You're not a mind once you do this, you've sacrified any claim of having an identity once you give away the one thing that should always be your own.

My favourite Barthelme story is one my friend told me that actually happened to him personally.

He saw Barthelme at a grocery store a couple of years back. He told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

He was taken aback, and all he could say was “Huh?” but Barthelme kept cutting him off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of his face. My friend walked away and continued with his shopping, and he heard Barthelme chuckle as he walked off. When he came to pay for his stuff up front he saw Barthelme trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. (My friend and I agree that’s not even a word.) After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Pretty good story huh

I don't get it. Is he a good or a bad guy?

fuck him in the ass

give him grandkids then have your kids show him your writing but have them tell him they wrote it and not you

Write better
