Da Korova Milkbar was a milk-plus mesto, n' you may, O mah brother, have forgotten what tha fuck these mestos was like thangs changin so skorry these minutes n' dem hoes straight-up quick ta forget, newspaper not bein read much neither n' shit. Well, what tha fuck they sold there was gin n juice plus suttin' else. They had no license fo' pushin liquor yo, but there was no law yet against proddin a shitload of tha freshly smoked up veshches which they would put tha fuck into tha oldschool moloko, so you could peet it wit vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom or one or two other veshches which would hit you wit a sick on tha down-low horrorshow fifteen minutes admirin Bog And All His Holy Angels And Saints up in yo' left shoe wit lights burstin all over yo' mozg.

I owe tha discovery of Uqbar ta tha conjunction of a mirror n' a encyclopedia. Da mirror shitd tha depthz of a cold-ass lil corridor up in a cold-ass lil ghetto doggy den on Gaona Street up in Ramos Mejia,; tha encyclopedia is fallaciously called Da Anglo-Gangsta Cyclopedia (New York, 1917) n' be a literal but delinquent reprint of tha Encyclopedia Britannica of 1902. Da event took place some five muthafuckin years ago. Bioy Casares had had dinner wit me dat evenin n' we became lengthily engaged up in a vast polemic concernin tha comoposizzle of a novel up in tha straight-up original gangsta person, whose narrator would omit or disfigure tha facts n' indulge up in various contradictions which would permit few readers--very few--to perceive a atrocious or banal reality.

...Then Bioy Casares recalled dat one such of tha heresiarchz of Uqbar had declared dat mirrors n' gangbangin is abominable, cuz they increase tha number of pimps

Molto bravo, OP.

>>8017816
you would let your dad and yourself get cucked by his brother, your lard ass uncle?

>>8017816
his uncle murdered his dad and banged his mom.

later his uncle tried to have his friends escort him to his death and the consequences of these actions drove his girlfriend insane and she jumped out a window.

but worst of all it made him emo and we had to suffer his soliloquies in highschool.

Same desu

>French critics have commended the novel as the perfect escape from the moroseness of a weak economy and an unpopular government.
I have a feeling this should be the future of literature now.
Imagine novels upon novels of fun, people acting carefree and unconstrained. I'd like this alot.

I can't wait to read this one. Do you have a french copy, OP? (yes in french)

>>8017739
nope :(

but i do agree with your sentiment. though it is probably embarrassing to say i loved breakfast at tiffany's, but unfortunately current literature has moved in the complete opposite direction. that book was layered enough with just the right amount of nuance so as to leave you smiling at the character's plights, not worrying.

take something like zadie smith's NW, which is supposed to be a portrayal of modern northwest london. now i've never been to nw london, but from zadie smith's book i would be lead to believe it is an absolute dreary place full of neurotics. even the most carefree of characters, felix, gets a morose ending.

tao lin's taipei would lead you to believe that all 20 year olds in new york are stunted and detached yet just aware enough to be able to complain about it.

two just released novels about san Francisco, private citizens and i hate the internet, do pretty much the same thing, where the occasional dry humor is subverted by some -woah dark man- moments.

it's such a cop out.

I get what you mean. Writing about woe is me, I'm such a sad lonely man is a lot easier than capturing the joy of life. Part of the reason why I enjoy the beats.

>>8017645
Dunno.

/lit/, everyone

I like to imagine that he didn't have to put any effort into writing and everything he ever wrote was a first draft

the middle starts to drag, but it'll pick back up. how incredible is that eschaton chapter though?

>>8017632

wew, lad

I had trouble with Eschaton, but loved the AA and Gately chapters

>>8017905
How could someone love Gately chapters? It's like DFW forces you to like that character for no reason. What's the point of several of his chapters were he does normal things without anything more to say about the character is beyond me, and made me angry because they keep interrupting the flow of the far superior ETA storyline.

>>8017632
OP you have to know that after Eschaton the book goes downhill. I sorta liked the book, but I think a good part of the side characters are useless and just a chore to read. They are all the same, they use drugs, they hurt themselves in a stupid way, are paranoid for something or have a problematich relationship with their parents. Pick two and you get how DFW does characters.

Sorry if it seems a rant, but after how good Ulysses and GR were, I thought the last part of the trilogy were at least on par and my expectations were high.

the way everyone keeps talking about this book it's just a bunch of random scenes about sex and poo?

It's good for a wank
