Because they are pawns

>Their writing is the hackiest of hack
>Their writing is transparently controlled by political interests
>They're inhumane ideologues whose sole purpose is to sow discontent
>They behave as though no one realizes this about them
>They're totally absurd in that they seem to believe their profession is respectable and/or important, when almost no one respects them or cares.
>They flood the noosphere with a countless amount of trash daily
>They prostitute the tool of writing for disgusting purposes

Give up.

It's simply just another way to further the genocide of the white male

you cant trust your sensations
you cant trust your rationality
just trust us :)

I've tutored kids taught on common core, and trying to help them with anything, especially math, is like trying to communicate with someone from another language. They have no concept of the fundamental logic behind simple math operations. Everything is obfuscated into bizarre visual metaphors, and trying to read their homework instructions are like trying to decipher Lacanian topology. I'm convinced children taught under such a disarming ideology are going to grow up to obfuscate everything they touch with unintentional obscurantism until politics and science are represented through apples and squares.

Poor man's Woolf.

>>8318750
but Woolf is awful and Mansifield's alright

I'm afraid I have to disagree, my good fellow.

Pynchon's the opposite of this wtf are you talking about?

>large body of work
>each setting vastly different from the other
>even adopts different literary voices from book to book i.e 18th century speak in Mason Dixon
>even adopts different literary voices within books i.e the shifts from bizarre stream of consciousness rambling to controlled narration in Gravity's Rainbow

Saying Pynchon's a one trick pony is like calling Shakespeare a one trick pony for writing only five act plays in iambic pentameter. Though there are GOAT-tier writers who are "one-trick ponies".

>>8318699
>putting one trick pony Pynchon in the same sentence as Shakespeare

>bell jar
Roastwhore literature for worthless roastwhores who are inherently to me as a man
>dunst
Roastwhore who shouldn't direct because women are inferior in creating art; they simply can't as well as me as a man
>fanning
Roastwhore without talent. Can't express true emotion because women are less human than men and less deep

>>8318671
No because I've never read Sylvia Plate or Ethan From. That and it doesn't sound like it'd be all that interesting. Call me when they attempt to adapt Nightwood or something.

You guys are getting carried away, it might not be that bad. Compared to most of the utter garbage that's out nowadays it's probably going to stand out in a good way. Hell it might even be good.

Chances are if she likes The Bell Jar instead of Twilight or Confessions of a Shopaholic she might have some intelligence and be someone you can actually hold a conversation with. And since as we all know women are the most easily duped by the media and pop culture, they might even be interested in emulating Sylvia Plath; who for all her emotional turbulence and her being easily categorized as the "fucking crazy" species of female was at least dramatic in an interesting and psychologically deep way instead of the sub-soap opera melodrama you get with women nowadays. Plus unlike John Green or Rowling or whatever she took a serious approach to the art of letters and wasn't an insufferable pleb.

Also, Kirsten Dunst has proven to have artistic integrity in a lot her acting choices. See: Melancholia.

There's some zany stuff as you've noticed, but no, it never reaches the highs or lows of GR. It's a good book, but you got memed if you were expecting it to be as good or better than GR.

>>8318705
its way better than GR

Inherent Vice is better than GR

>>8318663
>but the loony boner rockets and sentient bulbs were my favorite aspects of GR.
If that's what you mean by lunacy then M&D is still going to deliver

It's better than GR either way, ignore contrarian faggots

for you

Who gives a shit you die anyway, might as well feel like you and your perceived in groups are worth more instead of less while always striving for improvement regardless.

Elitism is a buzzword created to make plebeians feel better about themselves.

you posted it op\

i have it and it's excellent

they have a shakespeare poems book coming out next year which i preordered

im also considering grabbing their donne book even though i already have multiple editions of donne poems (modern library, norton)

>>8318625
Do you know about their Milton?
Never heard about them before and the complete Shakespeare.

>>8318708
Not the person you replied to, but I can vouch for Longman's Milton volumes. I used to have both of the older ones; but I lost them in a fire and had to buy new ones. Usually, something gets lost when a publisher decides to update their older editions; but even the newer editions have all of the notes and context I remember.
As per usual with the Longman editions, I wouldn't recommend them for a first reading, but the supplemental material outdoes Norton and is ideal for someone wanting to become immersed in a writer's singular vision.
