his literary equivalent?
>>
>previously healthy
>died suddenly and unexpectedly days after receiving his booster
No...it couldn't possibly be the vax, could it?
>>
Phillp K. Dick
>>
>>24116048
lol what he had emphysema from a lifetime of smoking
>>
>>24116048
>>24116051
sadly he had to be evacuated during the fires. I assume he died from complications of that with his emphysema
>>
>>24116048
how come i didnt die of booster?
>>
great question. there's a lot, but I'm going to say Bataille and Kafka to start
>>
>>24116048
He 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

God is punishing the mutts for spending their tax dollars on Israel.
>>
>>24116059
Bataille yes, Kafka no.
>>
>>24116066
i 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
>>
>>24116068
I 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
>>

Keep believing that, America is modern day Sodom and Gomorrah.

Your social media father surrogates are not righteous men.

fuck off to pol with this, this is meant to be a thread about literature
>>
>>24116043

I have always personally held him in the same category as Edward Gorey. They "feel" about the same to me.
>>
>>24116093
yes, I'm going to generate another example. I wanna say Bruno Schulz, that's a gut-choice
>>
>>24116094
huh didn't know gorey did more than his work as an illustrator. what did you like of his?
>>
>>24116043
Paul Auster at least is similar.
>>
>>24116102

His 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.

Weak bait. He started smoking at eight.

The 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.

It's poetic that he died of emphysema considering his obsession with factories and the industrial.
It's like the old factory finally got shut down. Now what will the townspeople do...
