Gonna read him soon. So what's the deal with Operation Shylock? Is just an elaborate prank, bro?

Roth seems like the kind of guy I'd like. Hugely self-deprecating, doesn't care about pleasing the reader, hated by many pseuds.

I think you are so spooked out by self-outrage and clickbait that you see nothing but cultural critique. I would recommend turning off the internet for a few days.

I mean the constant devolving into grotesque self loathing and sexual depravity is almost presented as struggling to stay adrift in a storm, clawing for the sun. It is exhausting.

Ah, you are a faggot that adds nothing to the board. I thought you were just confused.

That heartbreaking book about his dad if you have a father.

I like Portnoy's Complaint but fuck, I don't think I could look my parents in the eyes ever again if I were Roth
