HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA Because David is a monstrous vermin amirite? That's how your pretentious fucks translate that line.

Well let me tell you, how about you write two novels, three volumes of short stories, a history of advanced mathematics and countless essays before coming out of your little hole and talking shit.

You are fucking nothing.

>>8637585
...At least I have the sense to know I'm shit and not write.

This shit tricked me into buying it. Fuck I need my money back.

>>8637471
I see people talk about this shit all the time here.
Is this sort of narcissism an american thing?

>>8637478
It's a bad teacher thing senpai. Unlike in a lot of other majors though, they can get away with shit like this under the guise of "demonstrating the process."

>>8637471
I don't think you understand how most creative writing profs and artists-in-residence in faculties get hired. They have to be published, recently so (fiction or poetry), and are expected to bring their own work to the table and make students aware of it. This isn't just an ego trip, it's what you're paying for.

We are literally both. There is no "either/or"

Is this for real?

>>8637348

CNN has literally had stories on wikileaks. There have been even more stories on Fox, NBC, and NPR.

In fact Clinton is barely mentioned, anywhere, without some reference to wikileaks.

One hillbilly congressman gets his satellite feed trolled and you people think the government/media is controlling all electronic communication such that they can silence someone mid-sentence.

Put the bong down, kid.

You can't actually read ulysses. Gravity's rainbow is challenging as fuck, but I imagine doable if you really take your time. I haven't read the brother's kamazarovamozombabally but I imagine the great gatsby is pretty easy, considering it's high school lit. So I would go gatsby. Or just try the others and get frustrated and realize I was right and then go to gatsby, either way you'll end up down the same path.

>>8637325
if you have to ask, Gatsby.

>>8637333
Anon, I read Fear and Trembling and understood it, can I read Ulysses?
Not OP, just bored.

>>8637276
I don't understand why you guys say he is challenging. Read 3 stories from Dubliners already, easy as shit. Simple even.

>>8637908
The most challenging thing about Dubliners is anything that is super culturally Irish (at least as an American.)

Dubliners isn't why Joyce is considered challenging. Work your way through Dubliners and onto Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, then through Ulysses. Then, if you dare, Finnegan's Wake.

Excerpt from Finnegan's Wake:
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs.
Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-
core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy
isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor
had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse
to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper
all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to
tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a
kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in
vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a
peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory
end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface.

The nicest copy I've seen is the Folio Society print. Mine has held up very well.

'importance' is subjective. sorry. depends on what you value.
he's also amongst the most controversial and most despised authors of the last 30 years.

>>8637265
despised. proof please.

>>8637265
btw, OP, you should check out Franzen's essay about his friendship with Vollmann. It's very moving.

Who is this person?

Polling Anon here, thank you. I've come down with a sudden disease lately that seems to have no symptoms besides laziness, but I'll still pull through. Might need some help with creating the infographic, tho, because I was trying to figure out how to do it in gimp and I'm pretty clueless how to make something aesthetic.

Wonderland for the win

>>8637285
Which is why someone was proposing to help using InDesign, probably last year(s)' Polling Anon. And if they're no longer around... it's not like there isn't already a pic with at least 90% of the required covers already formated in it
