>Why isn't there an attempt to tell a story in images, or tie more than one format of art together? A "novel-painting" or something?

This has got to be bait.

>>8589601
>Why has there not been a piece in which ever single line is stolen from another piece and used to make a story by way of collage?

There is. It's called a cento.

Ira Lepidus and Hugh Kennedy are a good start.

Autism, mostly. At least in practice.

In theory, it means establishing distinct historical, geographical, political, scientific, and/or mythological details of a fictional world.

>>8589465
Literarily irrelevant indulgence in autism.

It's unnecessary and often harmful to the writing of literature. But, it's also Fun.

1400 pages? He must have a tiny abridged version.

And, no, it's the best thing to come out of France in the 20th century.

I'm going to safely assume no.

Kek. That's a pretty funny review, actually.

It should be obvious that he's joking: he implies that Charlotte's Web should be a higher ranked book than In Search, and although he says that he loves books and that they're his life, he only reads half a dozen a year.

Ghent or Brussels is nice and central for eurofags.
Equally far for Paris/Amsterdam/West-Germans Fags. Little bit of a trip for Brits, but manageable.

Im up for it

Bibliotik but good luck.

I like to use torrent metadata search like this, which searches any open torrent.

If anyone has a better one let me know

Also if you want books, soulseek, mobilism.org, and the varied bookzz portals are good, although I feel like bookzz and libgen have been gutted.
