A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation Anonymous 2017-09-04 05:45:03 Post No. 9979180 [Report] [View this topic]

I recently picked up this book and since I have a large backlog of books to get through, I'm not sure where to place it. Could anyone who has read it tell me what they think. (I apologize if I have disregarded any board protocol or if I don't know how to do certain things when replying, since I don't really browse /lit and generally lurk on boards that I do browse.)

Tl;Dr Is this book good?

Sadly I only read Utopia. Couldn't find pdfs of his allegedly more interesting stuff. He's supposed to be extremely spicy when it comes to the Reformation.

Nothing. He talks a lot about other writers, like Flaubert, Racine, Balzac, Sand, Tolstoy, Doestoevsky, etc., but it's not like you need to have read the whole canon to understand the discussion.

i've been out of the lit game for a decade anons. i sold my youth for wealth and am now back and free to write whatever the fuck i want. but the times have changed. is it even worth putting in the years it will take to get gud again when being a white male means i'll get zero buzz and when no one i know even reads new novels anymore? what are the best novels of the past 2-3 years? i like murakami, denis johnson, cormac... are there any up and coming authors on this level? any cool fantasy novels lately? should i just write the plot and characters for a video game instead?

You may enjoy the prose but can you really claim that this is sophisticated, thought-provoking literature?

Level-1 or world space is an anthropomorphically scaled, predominantly
vision-configured, massively multi-slotted reality system that is
obsolescing very rapidly.
Garbage time is running out.
Can what is playing you make it to level-2?
