it's good, though I don't see why Gogol had to include that somewhat over the top rape scene

You're in for a shittier version of the divine comedy.

I write wrongs
not tragedies.

No joke, OP, somebody in a creative writing course I was taking one time introduced herself that way.
All she wrote was slightly edgy yaoi.

holy... i want more

we're over cliff.

He's a pleb. Luckily I don't give him ad revenue by reading the titles of his videos since I know they're devoid of deep analysis and Wikipedia provides better summaries.

If you really have an urge to discuss youtube "critics" I suggest you fuck off back to /mu/

This Joyce fellow truly was a genius

The scene where Stephen's in the pub expounding on Shakespeare and art to some of Dublin's literati and then he doesn't get invited to some exhibition for young poets hit me hard.

Here in Ecuador there´s a thriving independent music scene of such quality unsurpassed by other countries i know. I usually listen to foreign (aka anglo) music and also very sceptic about my own culture, but i have to say, these musicians are producing some of the best music i´ve heard

Hipsters like to pretend to be smart enlightened post-modern critics

Eventually one of them has something explained to him in a college class

He then uses that knowledge to show off that he is the smart hipster post-modern critic man

The other hipsters copy what he says until absolutely everyone is going
>ahhh yes, indeed but you see, quite verily, rhibozomes.. rhibozomes for the win!

Me on the right

They're very accessible, they outright allow for whoever to interpret their work however, and shit like RHIZOMES really captures people's imaginations.

The youngest I would write is 16. No children.

>First book
Male is a mid-20s, 6', beer bellied, hairy, and likely straight guy who is big into survivalism, hunting, fishing, hiking, and so on. Pretty much kinda like a lumberjack.

Female is a... mid-30s was it?... chubby, fairly short, and straight woman ho is a feminist. Due to circumstances in the novel, she's not been able to shave regularly, so her pits/legs have become hairy even though she'd prefer them not to be.

>Second book
Male is a College student in his 20s (I think 28, specifically) who is just about finished. He's around 5'10 or 5'11 I think, is a writer, fairly thin as I recall, long hair typically put into a pony tail, and enjoys frequenting pubs or going to an indoor shooting range in town.

Female is a girl, recently turned 18, who is short, very thin, pale, freckled, redhead, painfully socially inept, and had a VERY fucked up relationship with her father to say the least. There's quite a lot of friction between them, but he seems intent on helping her to open up, even though it causes some turmoil of his own.

>Third book (being written)
Male is a somewhat short and thin fellow with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. Lives a solitary life in the woods near a cliff with an insane collection of firearms/mags/ammo in a not-so-distant future. Sort of like Mad Max I guess, but more based around firearms/ammo instead of vehicles/fuel. Not much of a sense of humour, quite quiet, and would much rather stay on his own and not bother with other people, but circumstances have made it so he must get involved.

Thus far, there is no female protagonist, however might have figured out a female antagonist.

>Children
I'd like to pull a 'Lolita' and try my hand at a romantic novel including paedophilia. I've not read Lolita yet, so at least I know that I won't be influenced by it and my own book would be a genuinely unique work. I'd say the youngest I'd go is... probably 13. I'd prefer to stick to around 14-15 though. Back when I was a teenager, I had a relationship with a couple 15 years olds (legal in my country) so I could possibly include some scenarios of my own experiences. Probably won't make it a HUGE age gap though, like 30s+ with someone under 16. I'd also like to try a novel that includes incest, but we'll see. It's nice to write under a pseudonym.

I don't think there is a definitive answer. There is a lot of evidence that it was all in his head, but my room mate reminded me of the taxi driver scene, which seems to indicate that at least parts of his murder spree were real. /lit/ hates on BEE so much but I love him, especially American Psycho.

>>8820106
It is intentionally ambiguous.

It's alot more satisfying to me if he spend his nights murdering faggots walking their dogs and no one cares because muh shallow 80s consumerism.

If it's just in his head I don't know what you would takeaway from that other than a shamalamadingdong teir twist ending.
