>>7773148
>muh romanticizing over alcoholism
>>7773138
You are not trivializing anything. That is a pretty accurate summary of Camus
>>7773145

The idea of the thread is to deliberately trivialize and oversimplify an author and their work, not to take what is said about them seriously.
>>7773307
...What?
John Keats
>i wanna be da best poet ever but i know im gonna die :(
Garcia Marquez
>weird shit happens lol, also civil war. Incestxd

> Stately plumb Buck Mulligan

Roddy Doyle > James Joyce
But you're not allowed to say that, because tenured academics would lose their jobs if people got truly redpilled on Joyce.
Plato

I only know of women who read Henry Miller. They love Miller and they love Lolita.
Madame Bovary? That's misogynist!
Aristotle

Here lies one whose name was writ in water ... indelible timeless ineradicable stone water, you mother f $!#ers. Cough.
>>7773348
Miller treats women like whores and has no regard for societal morality so of course he is loved by women. It isnt the patriarchy he is shoving down their throat

What the fuck is this shit thread.
You fucks should consider suicide.
And that OP picture, what a bunch of fucking plebs.
>>7774404
I don't think you can truly say you appreciate an author until you're able to properly make fun of them.
Paraphrasing some past anon-
>Pynchon, AKA 'The Riddler'
Ohoho Batman, you'll NEVER guess what I'm referencing next!
>>7774421
Agreed, but comparing the Divine Comedy to a self insert fanfiction isn't making fun of Dante, it's an insult to literature.
You honestly think users on Tumblr of all places have a genuine appreciation for the fine arts?
>>7774445
Wasn't necessarily saying that in reference to OP's picture, just this thread in general.
Dostoevsky
>we're all just living in denial of God
>>7773280
Yes.

>Agreed, but comparing the Divine Comedy to a self insert fanfiction isn't making fun of Dante, it's an insult to literature.
How so? Also:
>cares about 'insults to literature'
>voluntarily comes to /lit/
(And they weren't complaining. Lrn 2 reed fgt.)
David Foster Wallace
