</lit/ hates suckings cock but still sucks cock

Hey, Pynchon being good doesn't make his taste good. Lotsa good authors had shit taste. Boccaccio's the only good writer I know of who had God taste.

Intro to Slow Learner

>Against the undeniable power of tradition, we were attracted by such centrifugal lures as Norman Mailer's essay "The White Negro," the wide availability of recorded jazz, and a book I still believe is one of the great American novels, On the Road, by Jack Kerouac.

Remember the Wayside School books? Remember the story about the girl who cranks out billions and billions of drawings as fast as she can, until Louis the friendly playground supervisor advises her to focus more on making one really great drawing?

What the fuck is he wearing?

>>10015039
He wrote literally just two novels. What does your story have to do with Moore's work?

I actually didn't know he had a novel besides Jerusalem. But Jerusalem is bloated, indulgent, etc

>>10015064
My autism readings on this are off the charts.

>>10014896
He's right, Kerouac is the apex of degenerate American culture.

>>10015064
I love this bearded bastard.

why does /lit/ like moore?

hes probably the most reddit person to ever live

>>10015100
Jerusalem has a fifty-page chapter from the perspective of Lucia Joyce written like Finnegans Wake and you dare call Moore r*ddit?

>>10015100
His first novel is very good, and From Hell is the go-to common denominator comic to defend for someone who needs to display their good taste

Not the other guy, but after reading that first half of the sentence? Sure

I like all four desu

>Norman Mailer's essay "The White Negro,"
This introduction and Pynchon's essay on Watts are what alerted me to his cuckish tendencies. Norman fucking Mailer? The guy's a kike who publicly declared the black rape of white women as a justifiable response to racism. Looking back, Pynchon's ideological failures were quite obvious, but I was able to forgive him at the time because I was new to literature and not terribly politically conscious myself. After Bleeding Edge and Inherent Vice though, it's irreconcilable. He went from an anarchist recluse to a Jon Stewart-watching liberal bitch

>>10015071
So you're pretending to have read it, then?

>>10015367
I'm not going to waste my time on that thing, buddy.

>>10015403
No, you'd rather waste everyone else's by speaking with authority on something you've never read. Way to go, bud, proud of you.

>>10015449
As someone who has been reading it, I can tell you that the shitposter's parroted assessment is correct. Jerusalem is indulgent. It is also true that it is bloated, in the sense that an author with less credit to his name would have gotten much of it cut out by editors. But the page count already tells you that.

>Jerusalem is indulgent

Well, but that's kind of the point, isn't it? It doesn't even have a real plot, per se, it's just a love letter to the white trash neighborhood he grew up in
