Let's have a thread about those books we find pretentious but genuinely like anyway.

For me it's pic related, more or less anything Blake Butler writes and Deleuze too (at least his stuff with Guattari, he's cristal clear in all of his solo efforts)

Spare yourself the cringe and never read his review of your pic.

Been there, done that. Like everything he puts out on VICE, I found it mostly harmless if a bit idiotic and endearing - basically, the essence of VICE itself.

You read Dreams of Amputation?

It is for me - a way to satisfy the urges of the Inner Millennial Idiot without actually doing anything.

By "Millennial Idiot urges" you mean "College Marxist urges", right? Because even two of the founders have called it a political propaganda arm for the liberal elite.

Well I'm Italian and my country's VICE is more about putting out shitty "lol I've tried to cook with Marinetti's Futurist Cuisine Manifesto" and "what a riot look like on drugs" than it is about putting forth an agenda (which happens abd is explicit but fuck that honestly)

Yes. "pretentious but genuinely like anyway" fits. Mostly just scratched a Burroughs itch but I'm keeping an eye on this guy, case he ever starts polishing his shit together.

Yeah, I feel you. Read his FaceHole afterwards and it was utter shit. A pity he hasn't gone through with Punctum books and republished Crypt(o)spasm, that'd be interesting
