The stench of piss soaks the walls,
the s's broken up on every corner,
torn and twisted beyond recognition
empty cups lined up against the surface
of a desk that once had legs.

Three bottles roll among the breeze
that blows through six glassless windows.
Swollen books tower below the crack on the ceiling.
Drop, drop, drops tick tick tick
R I
O C
P K
S
a wet hole through the paper
wroingdoing words wasted on water
that no roots fed,
that no leaves grew,
that manages somehow to stench of piss and broken bottles
blowing eerie whistlings through the rubble
among which you can see a little arm
and you pray,
you pray that's just a doll under debris.

You move the bricks and dig in
and the blood stains your fingers.
You pick up the purple, swollen body of a baby,
swollen like books, broken like bricks,
purple like curtains in postmodern tales,
and you cry,
(first a sob, then a heaving, then a whimper,
then the tears and the wail and the limpness of knees)
because this,
all this destruction
was not really necessary.

This used to be a house.
Now, it isn't.

Nhhhhh

I'm about to go to work so unfortunately don't have time to read and critique your work, but I can tell you that the cover is shit - I really don't like the font and the colour, it looks like it's been done on Paint. I'd re-consider that if I were you.

>writing about an author when you're not published and can barely write a sentence without mistakes in it
Bro...

That aside, using a sort of quasi-second person perspective in the opening paragraph is a questionable choice. It's a clumsy rhetorical device. There's a tense change or two in the second paragraph.

>would of
Ugh. I'm not reading any more of this, life's too short and I can tell this is going to be bad and a waste of time. My apologies. Best of luck, OP. Next time edit it yourself before you ask other peoples' opinions.

What is supposed to happen in this book? Single chapters are 5 hours long like why am I still reading?
Favorite part remains to be when Pelletier and Espinoza kick the shit out of a foreign cabbie, compare it to a three-way, and then steal his taxi.

>doesn't find shit
>loses his mind over it
part c
>young daughter now in mental institution 15 years later
>suppressed memories n shit
>returns to home town eventually, dunno what happens after that
desu i've not put much thought into what happens after what i've currently written. generally i only write down ideas for the next chapter and that's it. i'm finding part b to be a little cliche, could use some new ideas for it

Overly silly, would be a good comedy (obviously)

2 many meme

Well yeah people who reference the myth of sisyphus in response to the suicidal are idiots
Its such an utterly void argument
Why didnt Camus give up everything and go live on a hillside to prove his point then?

>>7829180
>>Heidegger was a Nazi and Nazis were terribad therefore we shouldn't read or try to understand his philosophy
That's a prime example of ad hominem, so anyone who says that is an idiot
>Wittgenstein's tractatus is the end of philosophy
wittgenstein disregarded the tractatus later on in life. philosophical investigations is much better

the rest of the statements boil down to subjective taste. we can speak about them from the perspective of aesthetics, but likes and dislikes are a personal preference.
so, i agree with most of what you say.

First, I just installed a text-only browser because of you.
Second, ... I want to think so, but all the best ones I can think of I've only read in translation. Bradbury, maybe? Wolfe?

Reading Pierre by Melville really helped me snap out of my delusion that you had to work yourself to the bone every day (which ironically was instilled in me by reading Moby Dick about two years earlier). I don't know. I just came to accept that some days I won't be "on", but that I've been doing what I do long enough to know that I'm not going to stop doing it just because I have a bad day.

I believe this process is referred to as "growing up".

Only the big N and he had too short of a productive lifespan to achieve his power level.

Security guard

One with a booth you can sit in

No universities

What about receptionist in a shitty hotel? Is it as comfy as it is portrayed in movies like The Innkeepers?

Babysit old people with alzheimers. Usually they will stay quiet for 8 hours if you turn on the idiot box with a high regimen of doctor prescribed medication.

The first Patrician is correct, by english pronunciation standards

Plebian is pronounced "plee-bee-an", but people here use "pleb" as opposed to the more common "plebe" shortening.

Pah-trysh-en

Plea-be-in

Is how it sounds to me.
