How does a Jew
in the modern era
reconcile the fact
that the Yiddish
language is essentially
German written in
the Hebrew alphabet?
Gezeine Gezint,

Have you considered just being a white atheist like everyone else instead of trying to be a super special breed of German?
by reminding themselves that nobody has cared about yiddish literature since the wrong singer brother won the nobel prize
>>7235179
Just make peace with the fact that Yiddish only exists because rich Jewish people donate money to universities to teach it so that young Jewish people will meet in Yiddish class and have Jewish babies.
The entire language has become a tool of eugenics. Think about that.
I'm about a 100 pages into this and it's pretty crazy. It doesn't seem like a story one can follow too closely. I've just been kind of going along with it. It's also one of the few books that's made me laugh out loud. What does /lit/ think?
>>7235169
Very good, but I didn't end up finishing it because I would read it stoned and restart over and over again. I need to try again now that I don't smoke.

This book is like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Infinite Jest combined.

What is the ECW of literature?
Trashy literature with a strong liking for violence and strong fanbase? Max Stirner?
Plato's dialogues and Republic
Basic writings of nietzsche
Is Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time" the greatest Russian novel?
More focused than Dostoyevskii, funnier than Tolstoy, cleverer than anything Pushkin wrote. A masterpiece that so many readers "familiar" with Russian lit have no idea about.
>>7234950
It's literally read in school here and everyone knows about it.
I love it, but Dostoevsky is in a league of his own.
>>7235055
In Russia, yeah. I was talking more about Western readers

It's like Great Gatsby. Meritable, filled with prose gems, a good novel regardless of whether you have found its acclaim overbearing, a fine novel, but not great, not especially sophisticated.
I can't write anymore. In the morning I'm in uni, in the afternoon I must study, in the evening I have to do things that don't need my brain like browsing 4chan.
I'm just working on a poem during the weekends. My novel deserves more attention, but I write well only when I don't have anything else to do. I need time and patience.
I must become rich with some years of very good work and then I'll go far away from the city and its madness.
Why is it so difficult to write during daily routine?
Also, general writer's problems thread.
bump as someone who is having trouble just getting started.

What do you make of Paglia?
Stupid opinions on pop culture
A slightly more sane representation of feminism, but that's not saying alot.
She's got some pretty redpilled views. Her interview with reason.tv is charming

Choose your own adventure stories
A work that requires 40 hours of tedious grinding to reach the half-way point, is chockful of meaningless references to classical mythology and religion, and full of half-baked one-note characters who seem "deep" and "psychologically rich" by the low, low standards of its contemporaries?so obviously Ulysses
I recently read this and it's probably one of my favourite book
>>7233948
good taste anon
>>7233989
I'm not even sure to ask if therer's more like this because it would be meaningless

I did a bad thing. An ad at my uni wanted editors for a new student journal about "modern literary theory". Unfortunately, most of the submissions are recycled first year essays, and are of monumentally shite quality. They're simply boring to read. No originality, transgression or wit.
I'm a philosophy major, but have a strong background in English lit. Any suggestions on how to save this endevour, or should I just abandon ship? I'm thinking of steering it towards a focus on Tao Lin (kek).
pic related, every essay focus ever
>>7233781
Go fucking balls out and say that. Post it on the group or email list or something. Say they're boring , unoriginal and safe.
That's if you aren't getting paid. If you are, then roll with the punches, correct the spelling and move on.
>>7233788
Nah it's a volunteer post. The co-editors are all female and seem afraid of me, being a guy.

Why doesn't analytic philosophy ever address political questions in a substantial way?
Because the closest you get is Foucault who believes politics, along with ethics, is a branch of aesthetics.
>>7233776
Foucault wasn't an analytic philosopher.
