Good morning I hate women

there's a kind of western-living chinese woman who gets into the arts despite having no propensity for the arts but treats it like she's doing science olympiad, setting out to do prestigious things like re-write moby dick, hoarding a bunch of literary prizes and residencies and grants for absolute garbage.

The idea of this book is funny, but it'd be even funnier if it was good which I secretly hope is the case

>>25024204
Would. Bet she's a fan of the British Broadcasting Corp

Them migrating here is the real threat, not Mexicans

Chuds will get mad at this and then say the Aeneid is a good book

I made it to the third sentence before I thought, "Oh my God, shut the fuck up."

>>25024173
Maybe women will read half decent books instead of just smut now

>>25024204
I would R.F. her Kuangs if you catch my drift...

why though

>>25024173
So what will this have in place of the scenes with seamen playing with semen and the gay savage worship?

Cultural appropriation from chink colonizers

>>25024204
>it'd be even funnier if it was good
That would be hilarious. Alas, it was written by a woman.

>>25024336
Wasn't it written by an LLM, which means it was written by men?

>>25024345
Even if it was, it would be written by jeet "men", which are approximately female.

>revisionism to make Captain Ahab and his crew straight

Oh no no NO!

For me, as soon as Ishmael was signing up and they asked him why he wanted to be a whaler, to be on a voyage with only men and to see no women and sleep only among the queerest for four long years, and he replied, To see the world, I heard

Holy fuck the prose is so bad. How could anyone force themselves to read a whole book of that?

It's fascinating how she didn't even attempt to write in a similar style. all the flowing, winding prose is turned into stilted choppy sentences. Was she intentionally saying something by that? probably no, she just can't write.

>>25024173

This is so smug it's unendurable.

If we ever have the much-vaunted war with Russia, we can interrogate pows with threats of reading this thing aloud.

>>25024173
I didn't read any of that, but it seems similar to the parody of Paradise Lost I did that I post excerpts of in random /an/ threads when I'm drunk. Give me a sec...

First MOLLUSK1, horrid thing inscrib’d with ink
Of cephalo sacs, and cephalic beaks,
Though for the noyse of Shells and Tent’cles thrash
Their spawn’s cries unheard, that past through water
To his grim Fossil. Him the AMMONITE
Swimming in OCEAN and her watry Seas,
In CORAL REEFS and in LAKES, to the stream
Through ESTUARIES. Nor content with such
Audacious neighbourhood, the widest fin
Of TIKTAALIK he led by land to brood
His Scions right against the Temple of Air
On that opprobrious Shore, and made his Grove
The pleasant mudflats of MARSHES, TIDEPOOLS thence,
What craven GNOSTIC call’d a Type of Hell.

Next TADPOLE, th’ obscene dread of FROGS Sons,
From QUAGMIRE to SWAMP, and the wild
Of Southmost EVERGLADE; in MORASS MARSH
And PEATY BOG, MUSKEGS Realm, beyond
The soupy Mire of WETLANDS clad with Vines,
And FOREST FLOORS to th’ BILLABONG Pool.
HYLA his other Name, when he entic’d
A MATE in HEAT on their leap from LILY
To do him wanton rites, which cost them songs.
Yet thence his lustful Orgies he ribbits
Even to that Shore of scandal, by the Den
Of MOLLUSK growing smarter, gardening;
Till good CROCODILE drove them thence to Hell.
With these came they, who from the bordring flood
Of old SPAWNING GROUND to the BROOK that parts
SEMI- from AQUATIC ground, had general Names
Of FISH and AMPHIBIAN, those gill’d,
These ‘Phibian.

And STARFISH when they please
Can either Sex assume, or both; so coarse
And inflexile is their Biology,
Ti’d and manacl’d without joynt or spine,
Founded on the brittle strength of calcite,
Like ‘hesive flesh; but in what shape they choose
Five-armed, or fifteen’d, bright or camouflaged,
Can execute their stellar mimicry,
And works of sticking or bottom-feeding.

For those the Race of REPTILE oft forsook
The diet of plants, and unfrequented scorn’d
Her ferny bounty, bowing lowly down
To sniff out RATS; for which their heads as low
Bow’d down in THICKETS, sunk before the Tooth
Of despicable foes. With these in troop
Came TYRANNOSAUR, whom the RAPTORS call’d
REX, King of DINO, with minuscule arms;
To whose absurd Image daily by SUN
MAMMALIAN Virgins paid their Jokes and Laughs,
In TREETOPS also not unsung, where stood
Avian kin on th’ pterrible MOUNTAIN, built
By that uxorious WIND, whose heart though large,
Beguil’d by fair XANTHOUS PLANETESS, fell
To Compounds wet.

RODENT came next behind,
Whose annual sprawl in GRASSY PLAINS after
The JUNGLE cold-bloods lament their own fate
In mass extinction all a Summers day,
While smooth SERPENTINE from his native Rock
Slither’d back to the Sea, suppos’d with blood
Of RODENT yearly spreading: the Growth-tale
Infected AVIAN daughters with like heat,
Whose survival instincts in the sacred Perch
TYRANNO saw, when by the Feathers led
His eye survay’d the dark Evolution
Of wingèd PTERODACTYL.

>>25024838
>>25024841
Next came one
Who crow’d in earnest, when the Climate Change
Maim’d his brute Image, unused arms lopt off
In his own Placenta, within yolked egg,
Where he sized down, and sham’d his Ancestors:
BIRD his Name, Sky Monster, upward flying
And downward Feeds: yet had his Nestle high
Rear’d in TREE BRANCHES, dreaded through the Webs
Of ARACHNIDS, in MOUNDS and ROTTING LOGS,
And INSECT HIVES and WORM-HILLS frontier bounds.

Him follow’d LIZARD, whose delightful Seat
Was fair ARID SANDS, on the sunny Rocks
Of DESERT and OASIS, lucid streams.
He also against the house of REX was shrunk:
A Tyrant once he lost and gain’d a Niche,
SNAKE his limbless Conquerour, whom he hide from
In the crags to disparage and starve-out
For one of SCAVENGER mode, whereon to earn
His odious suppers, and adore the BUGS
Whom he had vanquisht.

After these appear’d
A crew who under Names of new Renown,
UNGULATE, FELIS, CANIS and their Train
With monstrous shapes and body-hairs abus’d
Fanatic FORESTS and her Wilds, to seek
Thir wandring Furs disguis’d in cuteish forms
Rather then upright. Nor did the FISH scape
Th’ infection when their borrow’d Fins compos’d
The Calf in OCEAN: and the Rebel Beast
Doubl’d that sin on BEACHES and in STREAMS,
Lik’ning his Offspring to the Finned Reptile,
ICHTHYOSAUR, who in one Night when pass’d
From SEA-SHORE crawling, equal’d with one splash
Both her first born and all her pescy Chums.

PRIMATE came last, then whom a Spirit more lewd
Rose not from MAMMAL, or more gross to love
Vice for it self: To him no Airway bade
Or Seafloor breath’d; yet who more oft then hee
In Airways and at Seafloors, when the Limbs
Turn Dexterous, as did CHRIROPT’S Sons, who fill’d
With hair and snout the house of OURANOS.
In WEALDS and WOODLANDS he also Reigns
And in luxurious GROTTOES, where the noyse
Of riot echoes within thir deepst Caverns,
And injury and outrage: And when SUN
Lightens the Plains, then wander forth the Sons
Of PRIMATE, flown with sapience and thumbs.
Witness the Plains of GRASSLAND, and that night
In COMMUNE, when hospitable Neighbours
Yielded thir Sleep to prevent predation.

These were the prime in order and in might;
The rest were long to tell, though far renown’d,
Th’ SIMIAN Forms, of MONKEYS Issue held
Men, yet confest later then FISH and FROGS
Thir boasted Parents; CATARRH Reas’ns first born
With his enormous brood, and birthright seis’d
By young PONGO, he from mightier HOMO
His own and GIBBON’S Son like measure found;
So HOMO usurping reign’d: these first in STEPPE
And PASTURE known, thence on the Grassy top
Of warm SAVANNA rul’d the flatland Air
Thir highest Heav’n; or on the ALPINE Cliff,
Or in PALISADES, and through all the bounds
Of TUNDRAL Land; or who with PONGO old
Fled over DESERT to th’ BOSCAGE tangle,
And ore INTREPID roam’d the utmost Isles.

Rereading this and I realise the meter is off in some lines. Just reworked the "frog" "stanza" -- I might do more later --:

Next TADPOLE, th’ obscene dread of PEPE’S Sons,
From QUAGMIRE to SWAMP, and sodden wild
Of Southmost EVERGLADE; in MORASS BOG
And PEATY MARSHLAND, MUSKEGS Realm, beyond
The soupy Mire of WETLANDS clad with Vines,
And FOREST FLOORS unto th’ BILLABONG Pool.
HYLA his other Name, when he entic’d
A MATE in HEAT on their FROG-hop from LILY
To do him wanton rites, which cost them songs.
Yet thence his lustful Orgies he gin ribbits
Even to that Shore of scandal, by the Den
Of MOLLUSK growing smarter, gardening;
Till good MEG’LODON drove them thence to Hell.
With these came they, who from the bordring flood
Of their old SPAWNING GROUND to th’ BROOK that parts
SEMI- from AQUATIC ground, had general Names*
Of PISCES and AMPHIBIAN, those gill’d,
These ‘Phibian. And STARFISH when they please...

*this line works if you squish "from AQUATIC" into 3 syllables. Still sounds better than anything else I've been able to come up with, while not deviating too far from the original.

I’m starting to understand that asian women diaspora reading meme you anglos have lol.

>>25024173

Does anyone more masochistic than me want to do a bit of research and tell me how she manages to gloss over all the whales being harpooned, which is arguably the main subject of the book?

>>25026199
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, let me add this to my backlog of books to read. Um, how long are you willing to wait for my report?

>>25024204
She looks like she exclusively dates white men.
