Phillp K. Dick
>>24116048lol what he had emphysema from a lifetime of smoking
>>24116048>>24116051sadly he had to be evacuated during the fires. I assume he died from complications of that with his emphysema
>>24116048how come i didnt die of booster?
great question. there's a lot, but I'm going to say Bataille and Kafka to start
>>24116048He wasnt previously health, he had emphysema from smoking for decades. The fires in California made him leave his home, i wont be surprised if the smoke made his condition worse.
>>24116055> sadly he had to be evacuated during the firesGod is punishing the mutts for spending their tax dollars on Israel.
>>24116059Bataille yes, Kafka no.
>>24116066i mean kinda, but don't bring God or "mutts" into it... instead of spending money on climate resilience our tax dollars are hard at work killing the global poor in the most expensive excruciating ways possible
>>24116068I mean, the trial and Eraserhead alone have so much to say to each other. I think Lynch has even said he's a big fan
>>24116073> but don't bring God or "mutts" into it...Keep believing that, America is modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.
>>24116043good night sweet prince
>>24116073>>24116075>i mean
>>24116078there's more than 10 righteous men here, to start, so ... no
>>24116084Your social media father surrogates are not righteous men.
>>24116083it's called a verbal tic, I write as I speak but i meaaan .... don't we all
>>24116085my dad, my uncles, my brothers, my cousins, my friends, the guys I chop it up with at the corner delis, I meeaan, not to brag but I know a lot of righteous men
>>24116048fuck off to pol with this, this is meant to be a thread about literature
>>24116043I have always personally held him in the same category as Edward Gorey. They "feel" about the same to me.
>>24116093yes, I'm going to generate another example. I wanna say Bruno Schulz, that's a gut-choice
>>24116094huh didn't know gorey did more than his work as an illustrator. what did you like of his?
>>24116043Paul Auster at least is similar.
>>24116102His central work consists of several dozen very short, stand-alone comics, which he would release one at a time in book form. These were collected in the four "Amphigorey" anthologies, which are easy to find.Although very short (and not exactly what the OP and others have in mind), the accompanying stories and texts have a definite literary quality. He enjoyed word play and using slightly obscure words ("orrery", as one example). The stories frequently have macabre elements, but are also playful or amusing at times. Often, a simple image or seemingly unfinished story is left to stand on its own, allowing the reader's imagination to fill in the details. The illustrations were frequently, but not always, in black and white. Old culture is displayed at times (trains, old-style clothes, etc) but it isn't totally divorced from the current world. All of this is very similar to Lynch IMO, the same dream/nightmare atmosphere. Gorey was basically just one generation older than Lynch, and so they had similar sensibilities of the weird, the recent past.
>>24116048Weak bait. He started smoking at eight.
>>24116068>Kafka no

>>24116057The vax is DNA altering, it could wear away some internal workings and knock years off your life. Few are doing any research on this of course. Both the vax and the gain-of-functioned virus kill only the weakest, elderly, very young, overweight, and the ill. It's their way to think out the herds of people and turn a profit. Genocide is now a money making venture. You bet they're working on a new pandemic.
>>24116174>Both the vax and the gain-of-functioned virus kill only the weakest, elderly, very young, overweight, and the ill.so how come my 80 year old grandma didn't die
