Suppose the greats of the past were born today, what do you think they would be doing in this generation? Would they still write or not even bother?
They'd probably spend their time jerking off to exotic pornography and posting retarded shit here.

If Pynchon shitposts on this board, I figure Joyce would have as well - except 10x harder.

Why even bother writing? We are in the post-postmodern age. There is no meta-narrative left to believe in with enough passion to write about. The only thing that drives people to write anymore is money or social status. I could be wrong, but can you think of a single book written in the past 30 years that was legitimately good?

just because you dont read books from the last 30 years doesnt mean there aren't great ones

But I do, I just very rarely finish them. Maybe you have a Facebook post to make about how cultured you are for reading contemporary literature?
