Do I have to be a pervert to be a good writer? >Joyce >Chaucer

>>9572512

>no Kafka on this list

Cherry-picking. Was Dante, or Vergilius, Faulkner, Tolstoy, Gogol, Flaubert, Melville, especially perverted?

>>9572533
Yes

>>9572539
I guess you're right then.

>>9572533

>Faulkner
>Flaubert

Wouldn't at all be surprised if these two were.

>>9572533
>>9572570

and i know for a fact Tolstoy and Melville were too

Pynchon didn't really do anything perverted except fuck some dumb hippy chicks...who were fbi

>>9572533
>Melville
he wanted to suck the Leviathan's member

My right wing poli sci professor told me all creatives are perverts

>>9572522
How was he a perv

>>9572533
It's not like you could know for sure. What could Dante have been into

And was Yeats a perv

>>9572962
Yeats was a willing cuckold to Maud Gonne and encouraged her to get creampied by virile young nationalists

>>9572959
Didn't he have some weird porn art stashed away? I recall it containing some weird drawing of bigfoot or something.

>>9572959
max brod """deleted""" some diary entries

and good for him, no one needs to know this shit about authors, do you like to read literature or do you like to read gossip?

Okay Rabbi

Link pls

For Freud, perversion pretty much means transgression of norms in the name of a higher law (even if that just means creativity as final law) so there's something to it, even if not all artists were explicilty sexual deviants.

Imo the most brilliant analysis of this is made by Deleuze, who was a big fan of Henry Miller, Masoch, D. H. Lawrence, Joyce, the Beats and many others.

This thread gives me hope I can become a good writer!

What's your perversion, fellow perv?

>>9572999
Uh it does matter. You're just worried people will learn about your fetishes. Don't worry though no one will ever care about you

>>9573045
limes

>>9573049
What about them?

>>9573051
their shape, color, texture. just makes me rock hard

>>9573053
can't tell if irony or not

>>9573054
when i was 7 i saw a girl rubbing herself with one. i dont think she knew what she was doing as she was too young but ever since limes have really done it for me

>>9572512
How is Pynchon and Nabokov perverse? You know you can talk about paedophilia without being one.

>>9573060
Wish I could explain mine.

You should write a magnum opus in which either a main character or a supporting character reaches an intellectual (and sexual) epiphany by stimulating themselves with a lime.

>At the focus of Hawes' investigation are pictures he stumbled across in the British Library in London and the Bodleian in Oxford of the pornography to which Kafka subscribed while in his twenties. They include images of a hedgehog-style creature performing fellatio, golem-like male creatures grasping women's breasts with their claw-like hands and a picture of a baby emerging from a sliced-open leg.

Melville was as pure as new fallen snow mate. It didn't even cross his mind that people would think him sleeping in the same bed, cuddling, and squeezing sperm with other dudes was in any way sexual.

>>9575030
Just because he didn't understand his desires doesn't mean he didn't have them.

>>9572512
Nah but most writers worth their salt from Nietzche to Gaiman and everyone in between has some kind of personality disorder.

holy fuck kek

I keep forgetting I'm on 4chan when I come to this board.

>>9575041
It's pretty easy to claim all authors are pervs using that logic, not that I disagree.

>>9572512

If they unconsciously write scenes with powerful erotic overtones, then it's a strong indication they're attracted to it.
