/lit/ - Literature

Lastly, with regards to your piece, it is nice and all but it suffers from one fatal flaw. It is whimsically boring. It made me feel warm and fuzzy for a second, but it offered nothing other than a transient look into a quaint little dinner party during the winter thaw. I can only describe you writing in one way: if your writing was a person it would be the lonely, unmarried, middle-age woman who spends her days crocheting.

OP. Kick that guy to the curb. He just wants to fuck. It's obvious, since we now have the source material to compare his critique too.

His critique is an illusion. He offered no concrete criticism but presented in a way that makes it seem important. He was basically flaunting his education (emphasis on "education" since it's not clear that he's actually intelligent).

Roseanne or Oates?

Meant to avoid any misconception that I use trip-jerking Behemoth.

My previous comment stands.

I think everyone here knows that you don't use Koroviev anymore. Don't worry, your 4chan reputation is still exceptional (snark).

Wrong tripcode. Anyways, please lay off the hyperbole. It gets tiresome when I hear people describe books or authors as "absolute genius", "superb and phenomenal", and "staggering beautiful". Canned responses are appropriate for a Nickelodeon TV show, but they also make you look trite.

If you have to point out "wit" and ask others to compare your witticisms to more esteemed authors, then it's not wit you have. What you have is a preponderance to pathetically grovel and ask for anon's approval.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

"The Road" (note the capitalization of "the") is a decent piece of literature. Unfortunately it now overshadows Blood Meridian. Also your clichéd use of "absolute genius" and "phenomenal" make your intelligence, and validity of opinion, suspect.

>implying his Pulitzer Award wasn't just a delayed acknowledgement of his earlier, better, works.

Yes post the most recent Pulitzer winners. I really like their choice of The Road, Cormac McCarthy's worst novel. Are you a person whose movie interest are solely Academy Award winners and movie taste mirrors the last 10 years of Grammy winners?

Nice compilation of NYT Bestsellers and Oprah's Book Club.

>Blood Meridian
>1985

I guess it's acceptable as another anon posted Oscar and Lucinda.

Fabulous, stop replying to your own posts.

It refers to the masturbation technique where one sits on their hand until it becomes numb. Using the now numbed hand one self-fornicates with it.

I used to go to the library, but I probably paid about $100 in late fees since I always forget to return books even once I finish them.

Bump. Why do you hate tripfags so much? I think that we tripfags are more intelligent and contribute way more to the conversation than anons.

I see you've come back. Did you edit out the stupid story about your head deformity?

You mad?

/lit/ doesn't read.

Motherless Brooklyn was mediocre. I seriously question whether many you two read the entire novel, because by the middle the plot bogs down, it becomes clear that the characters are never going to develop into anything more complicated than you'd find in a B movie, and the language, at first intriguing, becomes just plain eccentric. Overall, It was just another stock novel with some unique selling point.
