Anybody else here bought the new Ben Brooks novel yet?
Title: Hurra
Synopsis: "Hooray for the sister who jump from a multi storey car park and wear underwear uncombined. Hooray for a funeral imagine going to Harry Potter, the latest vaquita and the two Murakamis. Hooray for sleeping late, beer for breakfast and parallel universes where everything is a little better. Hooray for important tattoos made with ink pen and sewing needle. Hooray for the father who lives in a tent and mother always says' I also have the right to leave. " Hooray for the flight to Paris, Berlin and Barcelona. Hooray for the only girl who understands you. Hooray for Ben Brooks, which gives the history of grieving sister in a family that is desperate and hilarious version of Salinger. Hurra, three cheers for "hurray" his most exciting, tender and desperate novel"
Blurb: "No one understands the world today better than Ben Brooks." THE GUARDIAN

who the fuck is Ben Brooks. nice t-shirt though
>>
Why is that synopsis barely legible?
>>
does he look like a smug fuck or what
is there a rule that you have to do that with your face?
>>
>>8305004
No one asked for a Bukowski ripoff
>>
>>8305004
I don't know who he is, but I can tell he's a cunt by looking at him. This, coupled with your guardian quote, means I will never pick up a book of his.
There OP, are you happy? Here's the (You) that you crave

>smug ass face
>Daniel Johnston shirt

Spooked as fuck my nigga
You sound insecure as fuck

>>8305004
This is what people mean when they say the modern novel is shit.
>>
>>8305004
>The Daniel Johnston tshirt
That's what infuriates me the most about that picture
>>
>>8305525
I'd be lying if I said I wasnt at least a little insecure. I have anxiety sometimes. But when an filthy Anon online is trying to make me feel bad by telling me "it must suck to be you" because I dont read shit books, my autism flsares up a bit. you though... shit anon you must be a hole full of self hatred and greasy hair.

Makes me feel the same way Xavier Dolan did back in '13, except I knew Dolan was great. ISHYGD think this fuckboy is.

The academia-media-publishing industrial complex says he's good so he must be good.

>those tattoos
Why? Does the umbrella symbolize the fact that he's fragile and easily forgotten?

>>8305004
The book is Lolito and it's been out for a while nobody cares fuck off Ben
>>
>>8305863
I see Lolito at the bookstore quite often and I always think "what's this trite bullshit" and now I have a face and name to associate with that question
>>
>>8305857
who are you
>>
>>8305856
no, they don't.
>>
>>8306001
They do actually, he was one of the winner's of this year's Somerset Maugham awards
>>
>>8306009
has anyone relevant ever won that award?
>>
>>8305857
You could have googled it but I'll save you the effort. Contrary to popular belief a lot of traditional tattoo imagery have meanings. Anchor is obvious for example. Chicken and pigs were often the only animals to survive sinking boats so are a sign of good luck. Umbrellas are for shelter or protection.

Literally nothing wrong with that dark floral print bro.
