Why does no one read him anymore?
>>24840545But I've read him and you should rec him to any pornslop girl.
>>24840545I mean, just look at this dweeby motherfucker.
>>24840598mfer looks like he should be helping mulder hack government servers for proof of aliens
>>24840545BC he's a gen X of his time. Gen-exers are the worst kind of people and should not be allowed to exist.
>>24840545>books filled with romance and gossip and sexvery feminine
Sons and Lovers is excellent. Aside from that I have only read Kangaroo which was incredibly self-indulgent, repetitive and uneven. Next I will read The Plumed Serpent.
>>24840779>gossipNot reallyRomance and sex yes. That's also 80% of all books
>>24840545He wasn't a great stylist (as Joyce said he talked) and for whatever reason that quality which we call style seems especially to ensure an author's durability.The world and concerns of his books are irrelevant. The woman question is very different now. I heard Lukacks talk about him advocating a lapse into a naive animality to escape the ills of mechanical civilization--pure sex as pure love. For whatever reason this just doesn't work when conceived as a positive program, at least not today--we aren't the greeks, people are too dumb and stupid for that.I like him as a person and I think he tried to do good in the world. He had this great letter to Bertrand Russell. And he saw movies in their depiction of romance/sexuality as a great evil in screwing up people's naivety, which is interesting given that his books were prosecuted for obscenity.Actually his problem is he was one of those people who thought it was as simple as saying "You shouldn't be masturbating but should go have sex with real women." I listed to Nick Fuentes on Tucker and he said basically this, "if you see virtual women that how is a real women going to be attractive to you, which he must have picked up unthinkingly, anyway its not that interesting or insightful. Masturbation vs. Real Sex distinction is where Lawrence concerned himself, and in my opinion this misses the point.
>>24840545Most of his audience was female. All the Lawrence fans I've met were women. Nowadays they're all reading romantasy and misery porn instead.
