if you lack the sensitivity to see why this is gross you will never produce anything of literary quality

apollonius, ovid, propertius and everyone since who wrote about it?

>implying men can be raped

ur so deep

I'm having the opposite problem.
I don't know how to make characters anything but catalysts for the story so I wind up not being attached to them and then the story peters out.

>>7869394
You gotta think about why it has to be that character in there, instead of just a prop.
Give 'em a backstory even if you never write it down. Give them hobbies and shit that no one will ever know about. Then give the reader a reason to care if they die.

> I could see down in Margate strand bathingplace from the side of the rock standing up in the sun naked like a God or something and then plunging into the sea with them why arent all men like that thered be some consolation for a woman like that lovely little statue he bought I could look at him all day long curly head and his shoulders his finger up for you to listen theres real beauty and poetry for you I often felt I wanted to kiss him all over also his lovely young cock there so simple I wouldnt mind taking him in my mouth if nobody was looking as if it was asking you to suck it so clean and white he looks with his boyish face I would too in 1/2 a minute even if some of it went down what its only like gruel or the dew theres no danger besides hed be so clean compared with those pigs of men I suppose never dream of washing it from I years end to the other the most of them only thats what gives the women the moustaches Im sure itll be grand if I can only get in with a handsome young poet at my age Ill throw them the 1st thing in the morning till I see if the wishcard comes out or Ill try pairing the lady herself and see if he comes out

Dicken's inst patrician. Dude wrote fluffy serial novels for housewives to read in easily digestible installments.

Just read his Nell Trent book. It's not normie. It's literally otaku moe shit.

Did you know that Kafka envied Dickens for his ability to write an engaging story?

"I have been reading about Dickens. Is it so difficult and can an outsider understand that you experience a story within yourself from its beginning, from the distant point up to the approaching locomotives of steel, coal, and steam, and you don’t abandon it even now, but want to be pursued by it and have time for it, therefore are pursued by it and of your own volition run before it wherever it may thrust and wherever you may lure it.
I can’t understand it and can’t believe it. I live only here and there in a small word in whose vowel (‘thrust’ above, for instance) I lose my useless head for a moment. The first and last letters are the beginning and end of my fishlike emotion."

I have an idea where there's a good guy from a peaceful village and with a love interest but then a bad guy comes and threatens his way of life so the good guy goes on a journey at the end of which he fights the bad guy and defeats him and then he goes back home and settles down with his love interest

>>7868685
Oh I forgot, the good guy also has a mentor/father figure that the bad guy kills at the beginning

One of the last practitioners of ancient Greek religion is cursed by Hephaestus for promoting an iPhone in the god's name for a gag Apple ad. (Heph prefers Android, obviously.) Now he can only express emotional pain in the form of jokes. The worse the pain, the funnier the jokes tend to be. Book follows his new career as a comedian as he spirals into ever-deeper despair.

No.

Best prose I've read since Ulysses

Do you sometimes finger your bum when you wank?

If yes, this is the booke for you!

>>7868314

that book is the subject of the biggest marketing campaign in the history of literature

Even DFW suspected this

The viral marketing campaign goes on, and 4chan is part of that

The only romance language I can speak is French but I swear to god I can sort of understand Portuguese writing. I have no idea why but I just feel like I know what it says.

I'll take a stab with "oppressive marratives"

As much as the film is worth watching.

>>7868032
Yeah, it's pretty fun. A lot of anons here talk about reading up on the politics of Russia at the time to get into the Brothers S but it's completely unnecessary. They're just enjoyable reads.

How is the game better than the movie..?

I mean it was fun and all, but, how does it have any merit above that?

>>7867824
Start with the Greeks.

No need to get into a fight~
I'll try checking out as much suggestions as I can.
