My cities local book chain has an indie printing press. http://www.tatteredcover.com/do-it-yourself-guidelines-intro

My friend used it. Quality is pretty good.

>>7819675

I'd second this. check to see if you got any local art studios that do printing. You can get some good work and support the local arts.

Truth is a fractal surface, with no solid ground in sight, only little plateaus of metastability.

My stupid novel has taken years to write because I'm so undisciplined. Does that count

Hamlet was a comedy senpai, one stupid event or soliloquy one after another, had me in tears.

Probably King Lear, if not for its epic scale mythological aspect, then for its boipussay jester.

Vidya culture is shit. Expectation of constant updates to a product, and rejection of the product if it isnt exactly in line with your expectations. This is why vidya culture cant have good things. Imagine if the literature culture pressured McCarthy to constantly improve on Blood Meridian? Fuck you and leave this board. Vidya is for children and manchildren.

I've wanted to read that since I saw it recommended here. Is it worth my time, or at least is it a quick, entertaining read?

>>7819199
you can try /b/ shota threads, you pedo

>>7819224
It's both quick and entertaining, not a classic or anything though.

>>7819234
I'm interested from a literary standpoint.

>>implying his 2000s books aren't his greatest yet, entertaining and polished, better than his older, most appreciated stuff
Mason & Dixon and Gravity's Rainbow are his best books. Everything after M&D is dog shit
Probably because 'Pynchon' died in '98
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gaddis

I wonder if his death will be publicly announced, of we'll only find out through a delayed message from his publisher 3 years after he kicked the bucket.

>>7818579

I want him to write at least one more Mason & Dixon, Gravity's Rainbow or Against the Day. Just one massive tome full of his usual whack shenanigans.

God can't females just stop fucking advertising with their face? I get it; you're sooooooo special cause you're ugly-cute and have a neat haircut.

Tho honestly I'd rather men just be able to advertise with their face too desu. It's annoying that only one gender gets to do this.

Pinecone is more of a textbook postmodernist while DFW (unsuccessfully) tried to eschew postmodernism or go back to a state before it by intentionally emphasizing its flaws.

He bit off more than he could chew and almost shelved the book entirely.

Then he had the epiphany that he could just kill half the cast and send Oprah into the desert on a randumb spirit journey back to her home planet.
