Would anyone be interested in a surrealist novel that advocatr for socialism by pointing out the absurdity of slaving to death for capitalists? I know it sounds very tumbleresque, tranny, SJW, etc, etc, but I promise it's a/an(?) hilarious novel à la A Confederacy of Dunces. The penultimate — or is it the ultimate — plot point is the titular slave's birthday party where he has been surrealistically turned into a monster, kind of like Monster ElisaSue from The Substance, due to the ills/evils of capitalism.It's a translation btw, not my own original work. Pic rel is the author.
This was just Sorry To Bother You but in a book
>>24116968As someone who reads French, why do you prefer Negro media to white, albeit, Jewish media? Are you African, Senegalese, Algerian, from Côte d'Ivoire? Are you at least sincere in your belief that English readers won't give a toss for «Joko fête son anniversaire»?
>>24116948>I promise it's a/an(?) hilarious novel à la A Confederacy of DuncesYou lost me there.
Squid Game already did it
>>24116982Every chapter is a riot, as in it will make you laugh and smile uncontrollably. If you read it in public you will find yourself hard-pressed to contain your mirth, which will inevitably cause you to burst out lauging, causing you to draw attention to yourself from passerby and other pedestrians, which is exactly what you were trying to avoid by attempting to contain your laughter in the first place.Please and thank you, sir.
>>24116986Man, I did read it and maybe I laughed a few times in public, which is nice, I didn't hate it but gawd it's kind of a bore at times. Maybe if he hadn't killed himself he'd've written something more worthy of enduring fame. I've read much funnier books. Just my opinion folks!
>>24116982>anons are now pretending A Confederacy of Dunces isn't funny for pseud pointsAre you almost to Obsidian rank, bub?
>>24116948Been done to death. Might want to read more before you attempt to design your breakthrough genre mashup.
>>24116948Translation: dude it's like Kafka but socialist, this shit is so dope!
Just tell us the name of the novel pls
>>24116948I didn't realise Rowan Atkinson wrote in a foreign language
OP, ignore the uncultured swine replying to you. If you have an untranslated work from a French surrealist, for the love of God, please translate it. The anons in this thread are heathens and cannot possibly understand the level of kino that they could be robbing from the world by discouraging a translation.
You’re 100 years too late. Why do socialists never know anything about their own proposed solution? They just criticise but never look to systems that have PROVEN themselves better like protectionism
>>24117168>PROVEN themselves better like protectionismProtectionism didn't stop neoliberalism and free trade any better than socialism or communism lmao.
does he know?
>>24116980NTA but sorry to bother you is a good film once you get over the African Americanisms. Sadly it is made by a hypocritial jew, though. So just be wary.
>>24117162This. >>24116948I'd be interested in reading it, anon.
>>24117142Roland Topor, Joko's Anniversary(op, it's already been translated…)
>>24116948why not just do what the collective capitalists do and pool money into collective capital? that doesn't go against socialism if your goal is to constantly expand your capital to monopolize the market for the State (i.e. the State should compete with the Market to maximize competition for the benefit of the Public/Consumer).
>>24117649No it hasn't. Post a link or ISBN number to back up your claim.
>>24117649It's no longer in print, and faggots like you try to sell their found copies online for $100 dollars. For all intents and purposes the novel is untranslated.
>>24117836Like me? Next you'll start sperging about nyrb republishing it or something. Look, even in the digital age, out of print can make something very inaccessible, but 'for all intents and purposes untranslated' is a stretch; I was unaware of the second hand prices, but still there's libraries. And that's not at all to discourage you from newly translating it btw!
>>24118032I'll just translate Mémoires d'un Vieux Con instead.
