Would you guys prefer a mean-thesaurus jockey like Mina Loy?
Lunar Baedeker
A silver Lucifer
serves
cocaine in cornucopia
To some somnambulists
of adolescent thighs
draped
in satirical draperies
Peris in livery
prepare
Lethe
for posthumous parvenues
Delirious Avenues
lit
with the chandelier souls
of infusoria
from Pharoah’s tombstones
lead
to mercurial doomsdays
Odious oasis
in furrowed phosphorous
the eye-white sky-light
white-light district
of lunar lusts
Stellectric signs
“Wing shows on Starway”
“Zodiac carrousel”
Cyclones
of ecstatic dust
and ashes whirl
crusaders
from hallucinatory citadels
of shattered glass
into evacuate craters
A flock of dreams
browse on Necropolis
From the shores
of oval oceans
in the oxidized Orient
Onyx-eyed Odalisques
and ornithologists
observe
the flight
of Eros obsolete
And “Immortality”
mildews ...
in the museums of the moon
“Nocturnal cyclops”
“Crystal concubine”
Pocked with personification
the fossil virgin of the skies
waxes and wanes

**this one has some mild spacing i'm not gonna be able to replicate
Human Cylinders
The human cylinders
Revolving in the enervating dusk
That wraps each closer in the mystery
Of singularity
Among the litter of a sunless afternoon
Having eaten without tasting
Talked without communion
And at least two of us
Loved a very little
Without seeking
To know if our two miseries
In the lucid rush-together of automatons
Could form one opulent wellbeing
Simplifications of men
In the enervating dusk
Your indistinctness
Serves me the core of the kernel of you
When in the frenzied reaching out of intellect to intellect
Leaning brow to brow communicative
Over the abyss of the potential
Concordance of respiration
Shames
Absence of corresponding between the verbal sensory
And reciprocity
Of conception
And expression
Where each extrudes beyond the tangible
One thin pale trail of speculation
From among us we have sent out
Into the enervating dusk
One little whining beast
Whose longing
Is to slink back to antediluvian burrow
And one elastic tentacle of intuition
To quiver among the stars
The impartiality of the absolute
Routs the polemic
Or which of us
Would not
Receiving the holy-ghost
Catch it and caging
Lose it
Or in the problematic
Destroy the Universe
With a solution

An even less interesting version of Camus. Just imagine the most generic 20th Century French ""existentialist"" autobiographical novel with a quite dull discussion about queer childhood struggles you can, and you have Louis' work.

I finished it like 3 days ago. Fire bars for sure, if you're into what MAggie Nelson, Karl Ove Knausgaard, or Rachel Cusk have been doing with novel/autobio lately. But if you usually agree with the most accepted opinions on this board you probably wont like it and youll be missing out lmao. read colm toibin's review in nyrb and if that gets you hard youll probably fw the book. I can't wait for his second novel to be translated into English

Why is there so few literature that addresses the persecution of American Christians? It's one of the biggest social problems facing our nation.

Are there any other books which use Nietzsche or any other philosopher extensively in the exploration of videogames as a valid artform and their significance?

Good text. I would also recommend Sefer Yetzirah and Sefer Otz Chiim.

Would not advise unless you have a good grasp of Halacha and traditional Jewish thought. Context is very important. There's a reason why Jews aren't allowed to learn it until they are 40.

Has there ever been a piece of fiction exploring a totalitarian regimes (a la Pale Fire, 1984 et al.) where the subject regime is supported by no one privately but outwardly everyone tows the same line due to fear of ostracism?
I feel I've poorly explained the premise so I try again
>Totalitarian regime
>All members of society appear to wholly support regime
>In fact every single person in the society is privately against it but has never felt able to speak out

I don't know, maybe.
You shouldn't care if it's been done before if you think you can do it justice.
>>
>>9809891
Is Pale Fire really about a totalitarian regime? Sure Kinbote was an overthrown king but I don't recall them talking about the political aspect of that at all. I don't think there was much mention of how the new (or even old) governments treated their citizens.

Lel. Did you even read the book?
