opinions on bret easton ellis?
>>24823363Gay
>>24823363twink death is a bitch huh
>>24823363I'm reading Imperial Bedrooms at the moment. Meh.American Psycho was a fun read, Less than Zero had its moment, I did not enjoy The Rules of Attraction.
>>24823363he sucked a lot of cock to get where he is
>>24823363irrelevant boomer, really sad to see him getting worse and worse. DFW was right about everything he said about him
The Shards was pretty good
>>24823470he was already rich tho
The Shards, Rules of Attraction and American Psycho were all fun. I didn't like Less than Zero. I haven't read his lesser works. Should I?
>>24823716yes, Glamorama and Informers are pretty good
>>24823363good god look at that bloated boozebag
>>24823469I read rules of attraction and completely forgot about it, started reading it again and didn't realise I'd already read it until a third of the way through. I've forgotten the whole thing again. I liked American psycho, don't think I'll bother with anything else.
>>24823363Glamorama's a work of genius, and his other novels are fun to read. His essay collection, White, is ok, but a little thin
>>24823363shit
his podcast is great
bump
>>24823716Short Stories. Imperial Bedrooms. Lunar Park's a good Y2K Stephen King larp. Sharts is a decent noir novel, and the coomerism is at least topical.
>>24824211Cool, I'm gonna read Lunar Park first. Save the better stuff for later. Ty anon.
>>24823363Uppity fruitcake who needed an HIV microdose yesterday
one hit wonder, and not because of merit, but, very much like authors such as the chicks who wrote the girl on the train and gone girl, because the main character was something nobody was used to.
>>24823363>opinions on bret easton ellis?He is secretly heterosexual.
>>24825026Gone Girl is great normie lit, but Girl on the Train was awful. American Psycho is better than both though.
Spiritual successor to Gore Vidal
Saw him at a comedy club in LA recently. He was there with some twink, which made me laugh. I don't know why I didn't expect him to be the stereotype that he is, but he actually is. Anyway, I like his podcast but am not really a fan of his books. I think, like all rich kids, he's a born critic and where he's at his best and does his best work.
He's a bit of a hack tb h.
>>24823363I really liked American Psycho, so I started reading his other books. I couldn’t even tell you which ones, because he just writes the same book over and over and over. Disaffected, young, beautiful people that secretly do horrible violent things. Same book. Every time.He must write with one hand. Otherwise he’d have gotten bored.
>>24826311to be fair that's the case with all writers and artists, most of them write the same book over and over with some variation of style and minor differences
>>24826314That’s true enough.
>>24825418don't ever insult Gore Vidal like that again. thank you
>>24825765Didn't you brag about reading 10 books a year recently? And then took a shit on Valis? Maybe you're just a chud
opinions?
>>24823363I met him at a book signing and he was nice. Im gay.
>>24828051maybe that's why he was nice
>>24828001it's so much fun
I thought he had blue eyes
>>24828628the aspirin wore off
>>24825418pretty insane statement, even to those who seek to destroy vidal's rep because of what he said and believed in.btw, I, who do not at all agree with vidal's politics and lifestyle (i have an inkling that we was kind of gay who engaged in illicit relationships - stephen fry is another one about whom one day we will be told that he did a lot of repulsive sexual shit to people he shouldn't have), have just purchased a 1000-page book that purportedly corrals his best writings.
>>24828666what's the name of the book? Vidal is great
>>24829211
