I have terminal kidney failure due to a poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, for me a year indeed is quite a lot.

Start with smugglers bible. W&M has 100K more words than IJ, it's too patrician for anyone on this board.

>>9050144
Meh, I would still buy the original monstrocity just to say I have it and display it, making me the victor!

>>9050406
how does it compare to other postmodern tomes. is it that unreadable?

>>9050735
i dont beleiv you

>>9049883
I'm almost finished his ancient history. It's really good. The mystery surrounding Cy is driving me crazy. He hooked me this shit.

>>9050735
Then you don't give a fuck about that book in the first place. Grow up kid.

I don't like this grouping that 4chan does with it's giant pseudo-postmodern books. More than anything else, McElroy is a modernist, and you can see a lot of Imagist tendencies in his writing: this writing at the cusp of thought, of an idea coming into existence. The book is...hard as fuck. It'll be like Ulysses/GR in that there are sections that will go over your head, despite the insane lengths it will go to repeat itself and reiterate. The whole book is sort of steeped in a native american mythos, and it does its best to incorporate it's own mythology involving the Jim Mayne, the protagonist, so there's a sort of fantastic or epic staging to the work. It is enjoyable, there are parts in there, particular little vignettes like "the departed tenant" that are strangely some of the best short fiction pieces I've ever read.

Grace Kimball GOAT female character

book is straight retarded. wtf is a navajo prince? Wide load? McElroy is a hack

>>9052668
Grace Kimball is great but has nothing on Jim's grandma and mother

and >>9052705 it'll all sort of make sense at some point

>>9052776
how long did it take you to read?

there'll be an ebook eventually, whenever joe gets off his autistic ass and finishes proofing it

>>9055290
there seems to be a bunch of spelling mistakes in ancient history by the publisher Dzac books. is that his fault or the publisher?

>>9053744
Took a little under a month, tried to squeeze in 40-50 pages a day, and I've only read it once (and probably won't try again for another decade)
