Irigaray is also interesting. She'd also piss off a lot of extremist feminists.

And I dunno something like Delusions of gender.

Blame cultural marxism.

>>8143286
It has nothing to do with Marxism which is a materialist dialectic. Call it neoliberal identity politics, which it is. Of course that doesn't quite have the same eerie feel to it for morons

w-we love you too, anon

Don't kill yourself Holden, there are too many pastries left and I can't eat them all by myself.

Not if I see you first.

Women are easy; there are tons of talented female authors. Yours plus:
Djuna Barnes
Bronte(s)
Dickinson
Austen
Eliot
O'Connor

I'm going to leave out Hispanics in this list since they are so numerous. Minorities/Black:
Ellison
Baldwin
James
Ishiguro
Mishima
Rushdie
Naipaul
Morrison
Delany

That's just a quick, semi-drunken list off the top of my head at 2 am. If you are actually thinking about it, you should be able to come up with many more.

Shitskins can't write at all. White women, while better, are essentially children and have the brain capacities of such.

English is not my mother tongue and I wrote this in a rage. I can't cope with the fact that I just wasted an entire day with this shitty book. Did I gain anything at all?

>>8142823

Also, please stop insulting me. I'm not really self-confident so if you keep going I'll actually kill myself.

prolly.

This thread is basically internet bullying. Don't come in here and mock the entire community.

Yes. Or, rarely, when they are published, they'll make an ambiguous claim that seems to imply that they're a legitimate author on the road to living out the /lit/ dream, and then when pressed, they reveal that the thing they've written is some trashy fantasy/scifi novel.

Learn French, so you can read decent African authors, not Anglophone trash.

Can I ask you why you liked it?

It was totally empty trash for me.

People have said good things about Zakes Mda and Tayeb Salih but I didn't like either of these authors.

You know Afrikaans people are native Africans, right? They've been living in South Africa for hundreds of years, just as long as most Bantu people. If I'm not allowed to be racist and call 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants in my country "foreigners" then by the same token people should extend the same respect to the Afrikaans.

They haven't lived in the Netherlands for a long, long, time.

You know, it's also possible he shaved his hair bald to become a monk.

Anyway, the serious answer is the subtle references and building up of it throughout the story. The reference to Origen, that worthy father of the church, who castrated himself to be free from impure influences. The metaphors of the phallic flowers (orchids = derived from Greek word for testicles) being snipped as if it were castration, a cutting down of youth in its full bloom, in the part where Otto's in South America. The general assholery and cynicism of Anselm which, tragically and comically, is the result of his obviously very troubled personality. Just my take on it.

Faulkner is sexier and also less gay; therefore, he is better.

Sup, femingay motherfaulkners. Any of you interested in licking on my ballzack and sucking my dickens? You can play around with it in your mouth as if it were a tolsToy.

Hemingway? more like .... femingay.

Help i did too much pot

Hemingway is a good writer because he is an honest writer.

Faulkner succeeds at the art of the written word because he bursts forth with what you might call honesty, not because he is talented simply and not because he has been well studied and not for the sake of artifice not even in such a way as Southern writers have pretended to burst forth with honesty for so many generations prior but for the sake of his human heart.

The whole novel revolves around the atmosphere of the settings and the character interactions, both of which are prevalent fairly early on.

Might not be the book for you my man.

Kant is extremely difficult to read and his primary body of work is autistic epistemology.

Hegel is an obscurantist hack.

Schopenhauer and Nietzsche write in easily digestible styles (nothing to inspire some cunts like a bunch of aphorisms) and speak to topics more relevant to everyday life.
