REALITY AND THE ARTIST ARE LIKE MAN AND WIFE. THE ARTIST SEEKS TO MAKE SENSE OF REALITY THROUGH HIS ART, AND REALITY CHANGES EVER SO SUBTLY WITH EACH INTERPRETATION IN ART. BY THE END, IT IS ARTISTS INTERPRETING THEIR OWN AND EACH OTHERS ART, AS ART BECOMES REALITY AND REALITY MIRRORS ART

I've just discovered zizek and I find that as autistic as he is he makes some good points. I want to read his stuff, where should I start?

First watch his movies, then read How to Read Lacan, then The Sublime Object of Ideology. Then just read whatever.

Don't forget to brush up on your Marx and Freud as well.
>>
>>7425830
Will do. What do you think of him?
>>
>>7425844
I think he's a fraud who's magnum opus - a synthesis of Lacan and Hegel, is retarded and bastardizes the thought of both thinkers. He's more of a weird mix of Hegelianism and Structuralism than he is a Marxist. Zizek's political tracts are almost entirely confused half-rants about things based entirely upon prejudice and psychoanalytical inference over any hard empirical evidence, which has its moments but tends to fall short when the inference isn't based on any, well, evidence. His actual politics are abysmal; Zizek is one of those people, you know, "radicals" who are so very "radical" because of all those people who are not as radical as Zizek says he is, when in reality, he's nothing but another Eurocommunist except with a fetish for Jacobinism.

Hey /lit/, One of the things on my bucket list is to write at least one book.

Do you have any tips or guides? I excel in English but being the worrier I am, I want my only book not to be trash worthy.

I would greatly appreciate it as it may help me write better in general. Please turn my grammer into grammar.

>I want my only book not to be trash worth

that's gonna take a lot of writing. you have to write through a bunch of shit before you get anything good, no shortcuts.

read a lot of good novels too.

>>7425654
I'm willing to put the work in. I just don't want to go in the wrong direction.

Also what novels would you recommend

>>7425649
Writing a book isn't something you check off a fucking bucket list. Everyone doesn't have a book inside them. Very few do. You got memed mate
