Hunger - Knut Hamsun

There are loads of ancient sagas and shit out there to from these regions

>>8285641
I actually know of kierkegaard, but the rest of that sentence is over my head.
>>8285646
I'll look up some of the sagas, do you know any names or highly toted modern publications of those ancient texts?

Por qué leer a Toole y Brönte en español cusndo puedes leerlos en inglés? Por qué leer a Brönte at all?

>>8285611
Los encontre en una tienda a 2 cada uno y no puee resistirme
Ademas, la prosa de Toole no es su fuerte por lo que tengo entendido
Lo de Bronte es porque habia un 3x2

>>8285611
Agreed, Confederacy of Dunces is a comedy and features Southern dialect. Might not translate well.

Stick with /lit/ for a little while and you'll gradually see through the thick meme fog.

I was talking about the book!

Was it the beard?

American Pastoral fucking blows. That was the only Roth I've read but my god, who makes such a riot over this guy? He's so narrative driven and even then the plot sucks.

>>8285514

This is what we call minor Roth. American Pastoral's pretty good, but it's overrated. Try Sabbath's Theater or Zuckerman Bound for some top Roth.

>>8285559
Thanks for the recs, I'll try to read at least one other book, not really fair to judge an author basing my opinion on one of his minor works

>>8285553
I'll reckon the story flows quite easily though, he certainly is a good storyteller. You can read this in one sitting. But the ending is really underwhelming to say the least

>>8285471
you should start with the last one and ideally not even finish that one

Bump hoping I can get a better answer

If you have followed most book theories you'd probably know most of where the plot goes. But honestly, you'll still miss a lot of little things and if you're going to read the series, you might as well read it all. I'm rereading one chapter a day and so I'll be finished in about a year. Maybe TWOW will be out by then

Everything should be examined to the most minute core. Don't you agree?

Because retards keep bringing him up

>Discovered The Unconcious
>Discovered the importance of sexuality
>Discovered that talking alleviates stress
>Discovered defense mechanisms
>Discovered that your personality is 100% dependent on your upbringing

Most of his theories are proven and are taken for granted today in modern psychology and psychoanalysis. Dunno what you're talking about OP.

I have no mouth and i must scream

I'm sure you already have an insight into the mind of an autist

>>8285418
Everyone raves about how good I Have no Mouth is, but 2bh I thought it was pretty meh. The premise is okay, but the writing is very sloppy.

So... autismo general then?

Pretty sure I did

It's because my parents fucked and from there on a combo of nature and nurturing.

When I was 10 I thought of my life as that of another child's doll and my world as their doll house.

That's about as far as I ever got with philosophy.

You know the Turkish coup wasn't a reactionary or conservative movement.

it's still indicative of fragmentation and fundamentally anti-demotist

Not this, but it's close.

You lose everything when you've lost the one you love. In theory, it should be a freeing event; a man with nothing has everything to gain. But she left me with her dying wish, and the weight of it is unbearable.

Three times now I've been unable to do what I always wanted. Three times, it's put me in a situation I would rather not be in. The last time, I woke up in the ER with a shattered cheek bone, two missing teeth, and a number of broken ribs. She's holding me back.

"Please." Her eyes were already closing as her strength faded. "Don't kill anyone... not again."

Her last words have more hold over me than anything else. I could have easily killed those two boys. Just left them there in a ditch by the road and went on my way. But I couldn't even bring myself to fight back. I spent weeks recovering from that.

And now I'm out again, walking back home after a single beer and hours of self-pity. At least the night air was cool and calming. The sound of people during the day was too much. Their little lives mattered to them just as much as hers did to me. It's sickening.

I barely noticed the three boys ahead of me. They were all in dark clothing, with hoods up, so it should've hardly been surprising when the streetlight finally illuminated them. They were excited about something, that much was clear.

"Yo man, gives us your wallet." Was he holding the knife the whole time, or did I just miss it?

"I don't want any trouble." My wallet was empty.

"Don't fucking mess me about." His two friends circle around my side. "Give. Me. Your. Fucking. WALLET!"

They weren't much. Two skinny, lanky teens and one little fat one. They probably only had one knife between them. The way they shook told me they didn't do this often.

"You don't want to do this." I can see he isn't used to holding a knife, considering he's pointing it at me like a wand. But a knife is still a knife.

"Are you fucking deaf?" The short one's turn to speak.

"Do you deserve to die?"

They laugh but their frowns betray their nervousness.

"What the fuck?" That knife doesn't seem so effective now, does it?

"I promised someone a long time ago that I would never kill another person again." I hope they're soaking it in. "Do you think you deserve to die?"

The silence probably felt much longer to them than to me.

"No." The knife isn't pointing at me now.

His friends don't seem too eager any more.

"Then please, don't make me break my promise. Not to her." That hold is still there. "Let's all walk away from this."

Silence again as they swap uncomfortable glances.

"Please."

They step aside and keep walking down the street, muttering insults under their breath. Four times it took for that to work. At least, I thought it worked. It took a moment for me to register the knife now sticking in my back.

"Fucking cunt." The kid was already sprinting off down the street with his friend by the time I hit the floor.

Incarnations of Burnt Children by David Foster Wallace. Only a age and a half, but it fucked me up brutally.

No voy a poner mis escritos por el momento, tan sólo quiero hacer una pregunta a los que estáis por aquí: ¿cuántos de vosotros os saltáis las reglas ortográficas para ajustaros a vuestra habla? Quiero decir, tal como hacía Juan Ramón Jiménez.
Lo pregunto porque yo lo hago para mis poemas y quiero saber si esto lo hace más gente o no.
Y otra, ¿habéis publicado alguno? Yo no puedo costearme publicación propia por el momento y no creo que lo que he escrito me lo acepte ninguna editora.

>>8286296
>¿cuántos de vosotros os saltáis las reglas ortográficas para ajustaros a vuestra habla?
Yo no
>¿habéis publicado alguno?
No, pero espero hacerlo antes de los 25. Todavía me quedan 5 años, no hay prisa. Espero poder permitirme entonces desdeñar la opción de autopublicarme igual que lo hago ahora desu.

No desu
