Stalin rolls over, releasing his valve before pulling his bedclothes with him into the foyer, gazing out of the small square window at the top of his door. He pulls it open and walks outside, and BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM

Aw man you must have missed that godly Wittgenstein/Shakespeare/Tolstoy/Orwell thread.
That shit was cash money.

>>8805579
Not to mention that NSFW thread that became a total implosion of pure anarchy, given that everyone knew it was primed for deletion. 4 hours of utter madness I tell you.

>didn't publish any poetry or novels

It's a bad fanfic sequel to some pulpy sci fi. I guess you could also say Stalin was like a bad fanfic sequel to Lenin though. One of my favorite things about the book is the wikipedia article
>Bloom has stated that he does not like the novel and has disowned it, although it has received very positive reviews from other sources.[citation needed]
