This is tacky in amost every novel where it happens including the one you mentioned
The only good examples I could think of are from John Hawkes, and I couldn't find any of those

>What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on the top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell.

Which books, at least?

/lit/ ruined collaborative writing for /lit/

It was the most coherent is all. Don't get rosy eyed though, they're all just big collaborative shitposts and the notion of actually reading them is absurd to begin with.

I suppose Hypersphere ruined it only in the sense that it gave /lit/'s collaborations a sense of legitimacy they never needed.

>In Japan he is no person.
>No one likes him.

I like his stuff, especially My Work is Not Yet Done - that one just has the perfect balance of atmosphere, metaphor and black comedy.

I am resentful of weird fiction because it's basically the only genre I have any natural talent in, and is also the least profitable or read in general

yes, how do you game amazons system to get higher in the ranks?

Don't worry about Amazon. Amazon is only big in the US. Use Draft2digital as an aggregator to "go wide" and get into the worldwide markets. You can submit separately to Apple, Barnes and noble, Sony, etc. but using them gets it all done in one shot.

Women are actually better writers than men. Women are natural storytellers, due to the gossip in the tribe. So naturally their work reflects this gift. Male writers tend to make boring academic works that are too concerned with their own literary importance. Men also do not have much social talents and are more autistic than women who reflect the human experience in a more pure, accessible way.

He is close in many ways. In modern terms he's excelled in the arts & public life. He's used his will to shape his own form...

Along the same lines, maybe Bruce Lee?

church doctrine and free thought don't blend will, sonny

Barron isn't particularly /lit/ because he's pop Catholicism. He isn't disgusting, he's just basic. Good at it, but the answer is, Vatican II somehow managed to kick out the intellectual spirit from the church. What's good is with laymen like Edward Feser and Alasdair MacIntyre.

You have to attend university and attain a classical education before joining the clergy, so they're fairly "/lit/core" by default.

It hasn't happened, but I'm very paranoid with my poetry collection.
