I made this proyect to publish my second book of dark literature .
http://idea.me/proyecto/43689/poetisa-uruguaya-contemporanea
and here is my blogspot: http://www.florenciabonino.blogspot.com
Leí algo de tu blog. No es muy bueno.
¿Qué te motiva a escribir poesía? ¿Qué autores lees? ¿Quienes de ellos te han influenciado? ¿Por qué debería darte mi dinero para que publiques tú? ¿Qué entiendes por "dark literature" o "literatura obscura/de oscuridad"?
Hola, toda opinión es válida, leo Julio Herrera y Reissig, Delmira Agustini, Herman Hesse, Bukowski, soy muy abierta en cuanto a eso. Escribo por necesidad de expresarme y quizàs falta de comunicaciòn. Me refiero a escritos que salieron desde la parte oscura de mi alma/ser. Jaja, no "deberìas" darme tu dinero simplemente lo harìas para apoyarme en mi carrera en caso de: o que te guste lo que escribo, o te sientas identificado/a conmigo, o simplemente quieras apoyar a los jovenes que tienen intereses más allá del zapato nike nuevo que ha salido. Gracias por tu opiniòn, saludos

You might as well be using a Zimbabwean dollar.
Let me guess, you're a financial domination pig-slave amirite

get a load of this chump
>Finally, at long last, I can show the world my true worth.
Kek, this was a genuinely good last sentence.
He really liked being half white.
Poor guy.
Why couldn't he realize his personality was creepy as fuck in all that self reflection?
what are some good smutty but literary novels? something like houellebecq, or celine, i guess
>>8274846
Hubert Selby's Demon and most of his other work
Henry Miller and Anais Nin's work, especially Tropic of Cancer and The Rosy Crucifixtion
Ginsburg
>>8274846
Satyricon and Justine by de Sade
>>8274846
John Hawkes includes a lot of sexual themes in his books. The Lime Twig is probably the best starting point for him.
We really shot ourselves in the foot by calling a genre "modern". Where do we from there and pos-modern?
There's always contemporary.
>>8274821
well meta-modernism
cyberism
the singularity period
Future Primitive Futurism
1. probably called modernist
2. it's a general movement in the arts not a genre you idiot
Where was /lit/ when people started seriously quoting from Harry Potter?
I read pic related today. It was like the literary equivalent of when kids today don't know what a VHS/Floppy Disk are.
>>8274766
Context.
>>8274766
>As was said in Harry Potter
I hope I'm dead before people start seriously quoting from ASOIAF/etc.
Just finished this. Was tempted to just go back to the beginning and read it again to figure out what the fuck was going on, but went to Mason & Dixon instead. Should I have re-read it?

It makes much, much more sense the second time around, as you finally know who the many character names refer to, or at least which ones to pay attention to (I know most of the early Weissman stuff flew over my head on a first read, nevermind the opening scenes). The details you pick up...
You don't need to re-read it right away, but some people are (generally speaking) partial to re-reading books no later than 2-3 months afterwards
"All during the service I kept thinking about Dave Masters. About Dave dying in France, and about old Sloane sitting there at his desk, dead two days; like they were the same kinds of dying" (89).
How are they the same kinds of dying?
Also, Stoner general.
>>8274542
>How are they the same kinds of dying?
because they were both dead. He wasn't speaking figuratively.
two separate days and deaths; one of old age and one in war, but ultimately the same.
>>8274557
This, one day you're here and the next you're gone. There are always more things that could have been done.
>>8274557
OP here.
See, I'm only 89 pages into this book, and I really notice a trend in the writing, where Williams consistently points to a sort of contradiction which Stoner, wherein something or someone is familiar or intimate, while at the same time is distant or strange.
The first major example I find of this is the state of his marriage with Edith. They're familiar, they are intimate, yet at the same time Edith is one of the most distant people to him. His marriage is his home to come back to, yet he feels its strangeness in every instant.
There are many more examples throughout, usually explicitly stated.
The differences in personality between people are determined just by their defects and virtues?
Do you guys know any books about this topic?
me on the right
>>8274481
If you accept that a virtue is just the lack of a defect, the amount and the combination of the defects i have is what defines my personality?
>>8274530
Go home Kinski, you're supposed to be dead.
Books that evoke in their reader some grade of personal growth without being complete jack shit. (self pitty-ish/John Green-ish/ Coelho-ish bullshit)
Pic related of the only author who I've actually found interesting, helpful and gifted with a great talent and domain of the language.
Dostoyevsky, I agree.
The Greeks in general, and especially the Iliad and Odyssey, have been a great help for me, particularly helping me understand amor fati.
Dostoyevsky is a huge "Life is shit, buck up and quit bitching". Something this generetaion seems to need ASAP.
in gaddis's recognitions he has one character say, "chraaast" constantly, which give him a pretty distinctive voice. what are some other little tricks that do this?
>having a character repeat a specific word or phrase
>giving a character a crutch word
>short vs. long sentences
>vocab level
Any good one?
>>8274065
I always have my protagonist, Revlaggin, a kind of postmodern-day viking troglodyte, say "tane" and variations of "tane" and puns based on this word and it makes him sound very unique. He also talks like a black man when he's white.
Have you read A Confederacy of Dunces? Jones' "woah!" catchphrase is fairly unique. He has a pretty distinct way of speaking that is one of the book's highlights.

ooo, wigger is a good one.
So, which one do you like more, /lit/?
Christopher wins by default, as he at least wrote some good commentaries on specific events over the years, and his ideas on religion, and Marxism, while largely wrong, had some fucking good qualities hidden deep. Peter on the other hand has nothing towards his credit.
>>8274095
>quantity over quality: the post
Both are shit desu.
whoops, clicked enter too early
anyway i just finished this and was wondering on /lit/'s interpretation of the ending.
Is Holden the devil?
what happened to the kid?
meme/10
Blood Meridian
What are your favourite Stephen king books?
1. The Stand
2. It (out of nostalgia)
3. Dark Tower 1-4
The Long Walk
Different Seasons/The Body
>pride and prejudice is social realism as the females are under threat of not getting inheritance
>they employ servants
You realize that it was common place for petit bourgouise right?
For fucks sake, even the family in the Metamorphosis had a maid despite seemingly being near destitute
If women didn't get an inheritance, that means no/lesser dowry which means good luck finding a man who wants to get with you
>>8273952
>For fucks sake, even the family in the Metamorphosis had a maid despite seemingly being near destitute
This is something I've noticed in Dostoevsky a lot, too, with even the Underground Man having a servant, and I believe Golyadkin in The Double had one as well. It's very strange to think about, but those were the times. Good post.

why do feminists read into pride and prejudice as if Austen was expressing feminist sentiments?
