a woman wrote it

>>8116911
It was a meme, you fucking /pol/-emigree summer newfag.

>>8116911
Because it's by a woman author, and the majority of /lit/iots are too bitter to admit that it's possible for a woman to create something of artistic merit. Why do you think they all shit one Gertrude Stein--one of the greatest writers to ever live?

>>8116723
Go to thread upcatalog for advice and critique, perhaps a few words of encouragment! Here is your advance: nowdays one doesn't need to write clearly, but beauty is paramount, and you nailed the second part. Cheers!

Why do you bitches keep making these threads? Do you need validation from strangers that badly? Take this shit to /soc/.

Also, your handwriting is just a smidge from being good. Form your o's, e's, and a's more neatly. You have a good sense of regularity that isn't found in the noobs (lawl) in the other thread like this.

i give up any kind of dream.
My life is masturbating to tranny porn and eating ramen, and i regret nothing.

fuck off

Tao, you've been trying to force yourself as a meme here for about 5 years now.

No one on /lit/ has ever read your shit, and no one will.

Fuck off.

Not a hard task. I can assure you there are better writers posting on /lit/ righr now.

I've actually read Taipei

I...I feel like I was raped...

Oh, you mean Ooga Booga literature?

Do you mean Basketball Literature?

Just so everyone is aware, being racist does not make you look cool.

Check out Fred Moten and Nathaniel Mackey.

To understand Joyce's later work you need to understand what it's like when you have the same BFF-tier best friend for like 20 straight years, and you hang out constantly and talk on IM programs all day and play Counter-Strike every fucking night, and you develop an intricate interior language that only exists between the two of you. You can text him what looks like complete non sequitur shit and it will make perfect sense and evoke entire conversations and anecdotes and inside jokes with spiralling meta-self-referentiality. He can combine three weird inside jokes into one reference while you're griefing a pissed off dude in a DM server and it'll make you laugh your ass off because you instantly recognise how clever and quick-witted it was for him to gel all those things topically and completely off-the-cuff. One day, you'll probably even jerk each other off.

Joyce is like that, but with himself. Finnegans Wake is just an Irishman texting himself CS:GO memes and inside jokes about the time someone shit their pants in a McDonalds, nonstop for seven thousand pages.

It sounds interesting. Thanks anon.

Oh boy, it's this thread again.

Use it when it makes sense. "I would think so" implies the speaker would think affirmatively if he were smart, where "I should think so" implies the speaker should think affirmatively because he IS smart.

how am I not surprised that trap is from tumblr?

use "should" for conceived obligations

use "could" for mere opportunities

Turgenev, Lermontov.
Lermontov is especially weird, because he must speak to a lot of people here, for better or worse.

>>8116168
>he thinks writing skills are the same thing as grammar

>>8116176
In this context, they're synonymous. Stop being a pedantic faggot because you know exactly what i meant. Not being able to properly communicate your message through writing constitutes a lack of writing skills.

I imagine it's because writing is no longer taught at the same fundamental level that it used to be. My nephew isn't even taught cursive writing anymore, and his spelling words are significantly dumbed down from what mine were like in the 90's

Where did you move from?

>>8115858
Read Satanic Verses, but not for the reasons you mentioned.

>>8115868
I moved from Argentina, but spend the first part of this year in Italy

Stop being a fucking pussy and enjoy your life while you have it

>>8115739
nigga, its not a readers block. accept death as a fact and move on

no other philosopher comes to mind than Camus, because i've always accepted death as a part of life

>I can't read anymore. I keep thinking about how I'm eventually going to die
Do you also stop eating because eventually you'll be hungry?

Series started off very, very good. Gunslinger is probably the best thing Stephen King ever wrote.

Quality dropped off dramatically in the later books.

>>8115757
Pretty much.

The Dark Tower was supposed to be King's magnum opus, and if I'm not mistaken, he wanted it to be "his" LOTR.

The Gunslinger is by far King's best work, and TDT could've been so much better than what it turned out to be.

Basically, anyone interested in the saga should read the first book and be done with it.
The second book is good, and the third and fourth are alright, but starting from the fifth, it goes downhill fast. King really fucked up on this one.

33 days until The Great Ordeal is released.

Is your body ready for more Kelmomas killan, Sorweel getting cucked and Achamian daughter fuckab?

Get hyped.

Is this "YouTube Month" on /lit/?

if you're attempting to seriously claim that the OP pic could anyhow be somewhat related to anything remotely connected to literature, you need to start rethinking your position effective immediately or else state the time and place of where you wish to fight me barefisted. You fucking retarded summery underage fucking underage retard summer.

your picture explains it adequately

They are related to literature but their own thing. I could see a graphic novel winning the Nobel Prize in Literature one day, but it'd have to be by a third-worlder.

>could a comic win a nobel prize?
Definitely could. Nobel prizes don't go to works of literary merit.
