>"tour de force"

>>8452978
It's seriously three volumes? What the fuck?

I assume it's gonna be really good. But it's too long unfortunately i won't read it.

>>8452978
>>>/co/

I'm kind of exited for it. I pre ordered it a few days ago and just really hope it's going to be as good as the few reviews so far say it is. God knows who's reviewing this thing right now though.

>>8452985

wait, are there multiple editions with different covers? I really want to read it but im not gonna buy a book that looks like the one in OPs picture

The excerpts I've read read like fan fiction or something I'd write in 10th grade as a joke.

I do not plan to read Jerusalem. Postmodernists who love Alan Moore can't see that he is actually a herald of the death of art.

read Blake's Jerusalem instead. you crack monkeys don't know what fires burn in the night.

>Moore is a member of The Arts Emergency Service, a British charity working with 16- to 19-year-olds in further education from diverse backgrounds.

and... DROPPED

dont judge a book by its cover xP

Good move, alt-rightist. I'm sure you'd have an easier time with YouTube videos and infographics anyway.

Even if he writes the greatest novel a comic book writer has ever written...it still wouldn't be THAT good.

I think it will be the greatest novel by a comic book writer, but mid-tier quality overall.

I feel like Bottom's Dream/Zeittels Traum is more likely to be god-tier.

Probably won't get to either for a few years though. Don't get how all you anons have time for so many doorstoppers.

>>8454372

I would get Bottom's dream on pre-order, that tun won't last long.

Also NEET life bro.

German here, everybody here knows Arno Schmidt is a bourgeois fake who basically wrote the world's longest dirty joke. Only angloplebs would be impressed by his simple-minded stylistic pyrotechnics.

Reminds me of Elemental Masters to be honest.

“Any editor worth their salt would tell me to cut two-thirds of this book but that’s not going to happen. I doubt that Herman Melville had an editor – if he had, that editor would have told him to get rid of all that boring stuff about whaling: ‘Cut to the chase, Herman'

The author has revealed intriguing details about the book in the past, telling the BBC in 2008 that a section will feature his brother’s adventures in the fourth dimension, while the “middle bit” is “a savage, hallucinating Enid Blyton”.

According to other interviews, there is also a “Lucia Joyce chapter, which is completely incomprehensible … all written in a completely invented sub-Joycean text”, a chapter in the form of a Samuel Beckett play, because the author once visited the town to play cricket, “a noir crime narrative based upon the Northampton pastor James Hervey, whom I believe was the father of the entire Gothic movement”, and “a combination of the ghost story and the drug narrative”.

“I am currently on the last official chapter,” he told the Guardian late last year, “which I am doing somewhat in the style of Dos Passos. It should be finished by the end of the year or close to it. I don’t know if anyone else will like it at all.”

It was inspired by Finnegans Wake, so no shit it'd be a dirty joke. Though I think these fags here getting worked up over a translation are pseuds, because if it's anything like Finnegans Wake reading a translation is a waste of time.

>>8453947
Busy reading other good books. Damn I didn't think that would be a hard concept.

What is it about?

>>8454804
Alan Moore's imagination

>>8453193
It's apparently around 500,000 words, so about as long as IJ.

>>8454804
He's using Northampton as a playground to unleash all of his literary knowledge. It'll either be great or a complete mess.

>>8453029

nice profile pic

>>8452978
i don't think that guy is capable of surpassing DFW, let alone Joyce

>>8455967
how does one have less than no discernible talent?

WHERE ARE THE EPUBS IM NOT SPENDING REAL MONEY ON THIS SHIT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>8455924
>It'll either be great or a complete mess.
false dichotomy

I'm pretty sure Alan Moore is already a greater writer than DFW?

>>8456367
He is as far as I care tbqh

>>8454646
*adds to backlog*

>>8456374
*please kys*

>>8456112
Alan pls go

>>8455896
IJ didn't need to be that long and this thing likely doesn't either.
