this, OP

don't be unfair and reject it even though you know it will be soulless garbage

give it its fair shake and then throw it out with the rest of the trash

No, writers that drink were good before they began drinking heavily, or at least were on the trajectory to being great

Is this worth checking out?

It's pretty recent as far as literature goes but I noticed Harold Bloom had quite a lot of praise for it, and it has a movie coming out fairly soon.

Not OP but I don't quite 'get' why it's so brilliant. I read it a few years a go and it was sort of an interesting story I guess, how the dad who had had everything throughout his life raised a terrorist, but that's about as far as I really 'got' it. What am I missing?

Whose works are you reading right now, /lit/?

I'm going through Rousseau's stuff right now. Most of it, anyway.

Also, does anyone have this picture without all the bullshit added text in it?

Can i tell you guys a secret?

I am a degenerate. This (pic related) is my favorite book. I recognize the formal weaknesses of Miller's writing and the criticisms that can and have been leveled at him, but I had one of those 'lifechanging' experiences with his books that lesser people seem to have with dredge like kerouac.

if there is spirituality to be found anywhere in the last century, it is to be found in Miller. I encourage you to disagree with me just so long as you are honest with yourself.

also black spring is simply god tier writing.

What's lit's idea about À rebours (Against Nature)?
Is it an easy book, which could be read without prior knowledge about 19th century's literary movements?

its pretty readable, huysmans' problems with naturalism are pretty thoroughly explained. you would be better served by knowing a good amount about latin/early christian literature: the best chapter of the book are des esseintes thoughts on writers throughout history with specific focus on writers like that; Cicero, Apuleius, Augustine, Claudian etc.
