>fascism is le...bad?
>>24785880Yeah very tired, old boring themes. His entire style is like a series of Reddit "thats deep" posts strung along indefinitely.
>>24785880>>24786020seems like some of y'all niggas need reminding from time to time
>>24785880Yeah, obviously.
>>24786020That seems to be the "in" thing. Knausgård, Fosse, McCarthy etc. Forever run along sentences that drop a million superficial bombs of depth on you but when interrogated further seemingly lacking any real sustenance. I'm not sure where it developed from but I suspect it's something to do with postmodernity and specifically digital media. Everything has to be transient, superficial, and brief. Something "new" around ever corner that never stops coming but of course at the cost of real depth and skill. Quantity over quality par, capital's perfected formulation.
Where's the lie?
>>24785880big if true.
>>24786072Digital media exposed the pseuds, true. No need to publish a novel word salad to communicate something a 6 second tiktok can with an interpretive dance. That's why the surviving quote isn't long winded word salads are the soul of wit.
>>24786072>lacking any real (((sustenance)))You're a retarded midwit redditor

I mean...he's not wrong. Actual Fascism is very, very bad, which led to a destruction of multiple economies and an entire continent. It should be thrown in the gutter and never looked at again.
>>24785880Sebald praised this guy so I'm going to read him.
Does anyone know any other more recent authors that are similar? By recent I mean the last 40 years or so.
>>24786140somebody get this chud a nobel prize in literature
>>24786140As far as I know it takes two sides to get a continent destroying war
>>24786151A peace prize actually. No competition this year anyways.
>>24786160>have you considered laying down and dying insteadFor some reason not many takers when a fascist pulls up.
>>24786140Fascism is actually peaceful, it's the "democratic" states always pushing for war with them that causes conflict.
>>24785880Is that Fisher Stevens?
>>24785880So Depp
damn this guy REALLy hates orban you can literally see the venom oozing from his gratitude and polite disagreement
>>24786604I like some of his books, but, bro, you were intimate friend and even lived with Ginsberg for years when he was going full NAMBLA. You don't get to be moralistic about politics.
>>24786667Ginsberg was not the leader of a nation state.
>>24786688No, because he didn't represent very many people, as his views were seen by most as abhorrent.
>>24786604Why say anything at all?
>>24785880> fascism is le based and redpilled
>>24786717its almost like orban isn't doing anything to stop him from writing or saying what he wants
>>24786604He and Orban were on the same side in 1989 when melancholy was released. Don’t listen to his modern Twitter ramblings.
>>24786020I have no idea how he became as popular as he is on this board, if you listen to his interviews in Hungarian, he sounds like someone who mentally stopped aging at like 20 and never developed a sense against vaguely convincing-sounding juvenile bogus profundities. He's like a Shelley in that way. It's the most apparent in his books about China and Japan, dude has an even worse understanding of the orient than fucking Hesse did.
>>24786725Shalom
>>24786843His masterpiece is a pro-agnosticism or pro-deism probably book which is also strongly anti-communist. Anything else he wrote doesn’t interest me.
>>24786725any writer like that?
>>24786857I wish americans stopped lecturing others about what authors writing in languages they don't speak a word of thought about.
>>24786867Koszonom! Me too.
I’ve lost all faith in the Nobel Prize for Literature. It is meaningless. I’ve long hoped Pynchon would win it, but that hardly matters anymore. The prize has been hijacked by political correctness, and perhaps being excluded from that list is, in the end, a greater honor.
>>24786020>>24786072You didn't read them. The only book that can deserves this criticism is Solenoid.
>>24786941>implying Pynchon is a chud
Real N-words know that awards in the humanities almost always reward mediocrity and conformism rather than quality. Winning too many awards is a sign of an unoriginal, cowardly, establishment-approved author.
>>24786970You mean niggers?
>>24786861Heinlein Starship Troopers
>>24786604That's a FAKE ACCOUNT.
>>24786072>superficial bombs of depth on you but when interrogated further seemingly lacking any real sustenanceCan you show me an example of where this does not apply?
>>24787069Starship Troopers is fascist? How?
>>24787331Book of the New Sun. The Brothers Karamazov.Decline of the West.
>>24786604>this guy REALLy hates orbanas does anyone else with a brain
>>24787507No one with a brain knows who Orban is
