Cool Blue Reason posted:The Counselor was good. The Counselor is that sign that all old writers get that they are probably out of ideas and just spinning the wheels. It reads like McCarthy fan-fiction. See: Garcia Marquez - Memories of my Melancholy Whores, Norman Mailer- Castle in the Forest, etc.

Kirk Johnson posted:And another thing: actual medical psychology textbooks sometimes make mention of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake when talking about the nonsensical "word salad" high-level schizophrenics sometimes produce when you ask them to write poo poo down - basically, a lot of the book is indistinguishable from the ramblings of complete loving mentals. The verdict from literary critics? One of the best books of the last century. The same top class pretentio-wankery at its finest. lol u so mad bout good books

It would be funny if Judge did absolutely nothing to Kid and everyone was so shocked when they opened it up because Kid ended up leaving a really gross spattershit on the floor

And assholes still pretend that it's a wonder of literature, mostly for the benefit of each other. Pretending you appreciate 700 pages of turgid shite that makes no sense or drug-addled drivel you'd need to be equally high to appreciate are shibboleths for pretentious literary dickheads, is what I'm saying. Gimme Joyce's letters about eating his wife's farts any day of the week instead. I am sure you can find a couple Star Wars extended universe novels that might be more your speed you little bitch

If you wanna talk about massive obscure novels where weird poo poo happens you should check out Terra Nostra where it ends with the last man and woman on earth fingering each other in the butthole until they fuse together as a dickgirl good book

a hole-y ghost posted:i mean it's good but it's kind of written in a code for literary nerds who know English and a little bit of other languages to feel smart and good about themselves without actually having a good grasp of other languages. not saying anything against Joyce but that's what I think of most Finnegans Wake fans well obviously Its just funny that people get mad about that As one dude said, its an elaborate literary exercise over what is essentially a "drunk Irishman" joke

A part of me wants to believe James Franco is secretly criticizing Pop Culture's icon worshipping by writing lovely books, making lovely movies, and putting on awful art shows and getting to do it only because he is famous. Like he is deliberately going to mangle one of American Literature's treasures for no other reason than no one will stop him because he is an actor. Like Blood Meridian will just be unwatchably bad and when the lights come back on he will be like "you all let me do this"
