Doubtlessly an anonymous greentexter.Alas, that we shall not know his name! Alas that his cock shall never know audience pussy!
Gerald Murnane
pretty clearly, Magnus..."The seething din of millennials faded into the warming night, their cries of "the Beatles fucking suck" and "Boomers are to blame for all my failings" were dampened to silence by the mist, and drown by the morning dew.But they'd be awake by early afternoon, only to start the plaintive ritual again; the melancholy wailing bouncing off the backlit screens and cereal boxes surrounding them, while members of other generations, working, raising families, contributors all, heard nothing of it. The local flora turned as deaf an ear as the fauna, and the cloudless sky, too; and so continued the spiteful blameful opera voiced by the directionless adherents of America's voluntary class of malding malaisial millennials."-- Magnus Olympus, from The Saddest Clowns in the World

>>25041659i think its true that you need a very high iq to keep so many reversals and negations in your head and once and work through them. i fail this all the time reading sadly, porn
>>25041693I don't see that, it's usually some kind of "what kind of person would do that" or if it's a fantasy/book/media/porn "why would the audience want them to do that". I like that mirroring logic.And it all circles back to wanting to deprive the other and being unable to act on desire, apparently.
it actually might be krasznahorkai, but knowing that the greatest living author is hungarian is quite grim
>>25041710yeah its probably easier to sort through it with higher iq. i am definitely filtered. but i will still struggle through and finish like its a brain work out. and then pretend to know what its about in the next thread. i forget if he ever references girard in this book and whether tlp agrees/disagrees with him about desire
>>25041744More like you just need to like how he thinks, that's all. May be 'tism.
