The Autists by Stig Larsson. It's debatable whether it's a novel or a collection of short stories. I can't say if I liked it or not, as it did all the things I dislike, yet I couldn't stop reading it. I recommend it though.

Oguz Atay- Tutunamayanlar

brilliant fucking novel, so sad there isn't an english translation so my ameribros can read it too

I doubt it. At least not anytime soon. Pynchon and Gaddis's meme status took decades to solidify.

How is society a spook

It never really made society a better place. It's just entertainment. Hard work is what improves society.

if you're not a pseud it doesnt matter how good/bad the prof is you'll be fine

if you're a pseud you'll get exposed by the good profs, or you'll get angry at bad profs for other reasons

so dont be a pseud

Are the reviews unanimously bad, or is it just this one? Sometimes people get a chip on their shoulder and give shitty reviews because they got a C

OP is a retard, confirmed.

I dont think everyone understands Goethe is making fun of bourgeoisie "suffering" and are more likely to go the way of Werther

I always thought Goethe was quite sincere and held a lot of feeling for Werther, but idiot nobles killed themselves after reading it, thinking the suffering and suicide to be romantic and admirable.

the heart is a lonely hunter - carson mcullers

Its well written and the characterization of the characters aren't half bad
The name dropping is kind cringe imho, like calling the fucking dog after anna karenina and the whole beethoven catchphrase

read and form your own opinion, in this case even if you don't like it won't be a waste of time

A person being considerate on 4chan is not something you see very often

It's an easy read, enjoyable at times, but there's better ways to talk about sex every page and infidelity then the way it was done in this book, less is more.

I hate his philosophizing too, it's drivel.

Read Volverás a Región if you like Faulkner

I liked Abel Sanchez from him. You could say that the theme is envy.
Also El arbol de la ciencia by Pio Baroja. It has a slow start it is a great depection of the time it was written.
Also you may like to read stuff from the generation of 98, a group of authors that was given that name because of the shared themes.

I'm spanish myself

Niebla is great

If you're staying on the Peninsula, get into portuguese lit too. Jose Saramago and Fernando Pessoa are the main ones to check out.

Get into latin american too. Pedro Paramo by Juan Rulfo started magical realism. Mario Vargas Llosa is better than Gabo. Borges and Cortazar round out South America. I'm a sucker for Bolaño's poetry, don't know his novels. For the love of god don't real paulo coelho. mexico has the strongest activist/essayistic tradition, descendents from poniatowska and paz.

Theory of my diary desu

>Literary Theory is when you choose a certain school of thought and then just talk about how book fit into it?

No

>What is the literary theroy if you just want to talk about how the book has a cool story and is well written and stuff?

New Criticism

literary theory just means critical theory now

it's nonsensical. just enjoy the prose and wordplay; there is no plot.

Slothrops history is explained some later

Fav writer for sure

Well, you could always read The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis published in 1796. It's about a monk who is "innocent" but when he finds out about fucking he starts raping girls left and right, including a 15 year old who is actually his sister

You take the book and read it while not playing video games.

The first step is to not play video games.
Guess the next step.

i just want the knowledge part

school failed me, now i'm trying to get a STEM degree and enjoy the arts when i don't know the basic histories or simple mechanics of my world

It wasn't knowledge in the sense that he picked it up by osmosis or anything. If you read his letters you'll see that most of it was extensive research or firsthand experience. There's a reason he only wrote five books.

>>8426346
I wonder how well read he actually was because the Gaddis website makes lots of references to his library where he's just chosen very selective bits from the books he was using from research, sometimes as little as a sentence or a page. Still interesting to think about how his mind worked that he could think of something and go find a very specific piece of info to weave into his writing.
