Do it and report back. Apparently it was pretty good but bloom himself came to hate it

it's not that bad so far as fantasy goes

>The idea of /ourguy/ writing a sequel to an obscure science-fiction novel sounds too strange to be true.

Maybe you should have less assumptions stuck in your ass, shithead.

He didn't hate it, but Bloom realized it wasn't clear enough to be the "Gnostic indoctrinating Lord of the Rings in one novel", that he sought out to write.

I just read Patriotism today, and saw his movie of the same name. I've only ever read Sailor before and i loved it. I was deciding whether to read Spring Snow next after what im currently finishing and i think i will, maybe i can start it later if you want to talk Mishima, i would. I saw the Schneider biopic and thats when i became fascinated by Mishima, i even took Japanese in grade 12 with plans to someday know it well enough to read him in the original.
Also in terms of the imagery, i know he does this a lot, i personally like it when its done well

I only read confessions and the imagery is not entirely predominant but probably what I liked the most about it

I really liked Sailor who fell from grace with the sea when I read it.

Sound of Waves was also pretty boss.

You cannot refute nihilism, so just learn to live with it

If you actually wrote instead of shitposting on /lit/, you'd probably be published by now.

1984 can fit anarchist (center or center-libertarian) since it is anti-statist but not necessarily alligned

Trump is supposedly authoritarian right, but his first move was libcap. Will he follow up with a replacement?

Read Lacan's seminar on "the splendour of Antigone"

>>8735112
ty for the reference anon, will check it out

Don't. Lacan is severely limited in his analysis because of his inability to address sexuality and incest. They are taboos for him that he avoids to the failure of his criticism. Read Antigones claim by Judith Butler for a good analysis that also challenges Lacans understanding of the text.

>I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires

>>8734807
Mr Bloom walked behind the eyeless feet, a flatcut suit of herringbone tweed. Poor young fellow! How on earth did he know that van was there? Must have felt it. See things in their foreheads perhaps. Kind of sense of volume. Weight. Would he feel it if something was removed? Feel a gap. Queer idea of Dublin he must have, tapping his way round by the stones. Could he walk in a beeline if he hadn't that cane? Bloodless pious face like a fellow going in to be a priest.

What even isn't the purpose of it?

Yeah OP if you don't like the language or any of the characters or the way it's written then the book just isn't for you.

That being said I hated reading the parts with Hal

man, just when the fleeting thought of sexuality vanishes from my mind, some big doughy tits assault me, held behind some tightening fabric, bulging from within like some ripe fruit or some shit, and then off imgo to look at biggumz zqueezums laid bare, and it never quite hits one like the initial seed, it might just be that clothes are sexier than the body. who gives a shit though, stop using tits to attract responses to your fucking shitty topics. if they can't survive with a picture of joyce staring at something, they don't belong here.
