>According to a New York Times Magazine profile by the novelist Madison Smartt Bell, for a year Vollmann wrote much of his first novel, You Bright and Risen Angels, after hours on office computers, subsisting on candy bars from vending machines and hiding from the janitorial staff
>>24745721it's called the literary lifestyle
>>24745721Why is lunacy so praised nowadays?
>>24745749go back
>>24745761you first pajeet
Reminder that this guy is a serial killer
>it's real>Vollmann began seriously cross-dressing in 2008 and developed a female alter ego named Dolores.
>writes huge books that nobody reads>hang out with whores and junkies>travels the world seeking war zones >nearly killed in Bosnia, only survivor of bombed jeep>cross dresses for """research""">dead daughter>alcoholic>dying of cancerIs this the compleat /lit/ lifestyle?
>>24745865He also claims to have never used the internet and to not own a cellphone.
>>24745865>turns in 3000 pages to big name publisher on the history of the CIA and geopolitics>refuses to work with editors or compromise>dropped immediately>has to get it published through a Skyhorse imprint alongside another book about Trump and or FauciI'd say he's /lit/ supreme.
>>24745791he's just that committed to catering to the current thing, problem?
>>24745884based. never compromise your vision.
>>24745868highly based if so
>>24745937If he was committed to catering to the current thing he probably wouldn't have been dropped by his publisher for refusing to change the fonts on his 3,500-page nonfiction novel.
>>24745965he probably wanted to get out of his contract. i don't believe that fake ass story.
>>24745937Transvestism was not the current thing in 2008
>>24746002it was clearly coming up even if mainstream democrats hadn't totally gone looney for it yet
>>24745865I mean, yes? When I think of what the average Anon on here considers to be "the /lit/ lifestyle," that sounds pretty on-point.All it's missing is him being a smoker.
>>24745721Not surprised. Didn't he write a trilogy about ladyboy hookers
he visited my country and wrote a small part about it in his book that I own
>>24745868>He also claims to have never used the internet and to not own a cellphone.Is this the secret to his prolific output?
>>24746088He's a gun nut. Does that make up for it?>>24746500That and autism.
>>24746596>gun nut>part time cross dresserguy just seems like he's trying way too hard to not be some boring dude who craps out gigantic doorstoppers
>>24746500So what was the conclusion of this tome? Who may I kill, O wise V.? Utilitarians are children
>>24746011Then it was "the next thing" and not the current thing. Can you blame an author for chasing the next thing? This is all beside the point, because I think his dressing up like a girl despite the obvious ridicule that would stem from that (particularly in 2008) was a sincere desire and not a calculated move.
>>24745721They should give him the nobel prize before he dies
>>24746011AGP is apolitical.
>>24745865Works in an office surrounded by homeless people who guard it as well
>>24745865/lit/maxxing desu
>>24745721they were definitely hiding from him instead
>>24746002it was in the mainstream for sure, eddie izzard was the poster child for us eurosnow he's trans
>>24746666You may kill the person who threatens your life and your conscience will be clearYou may kill the person who threatens someone else's life alsoYou may not kill the person who didn't return the shopping cart even though you may feel justified in doing so
>>24745865wasn't he also a legit glowie or a fed or something like that?
>>24748585The FBI suspected him of being the Unabomber
>>24748582What if I am a devout employee of Colesworth?
>>24745865He also may or may not be a serial killer
>>24745865wasn't he also indirectly responsible for his baby sisters death?
>>24749116He is. He only targets women too
