>Pynchon

>DeLillo
ruined by schizophrenic wannabe podcasters
>McCarthy

it's time to get into Roth, anons
>>
>>25186996
How about McElroy instead?
>>
>>25187048
His ideas are good but he is not talented enough for them.
>>
>>25186996
This might be hard to wrap your head around, but people posting on twitter don't change the book
>>
>>25187050
The book is ultimately constructed by the reader, and if the reader is too influenced by twitter, the book is foreverally ruined
>>
>>25187050
let me bash your dog's head in with a copy of Mao II and tell me if the book is unchanged for you

LOL

>waaah i’m jewish and people are calling me kike waaah
>i drink and i hate my wife
The wit of Roth.
>>
>>25187072
I havent read all his books but this didnt describe any of the ones I read
you should give him a real shot instead of just assuming what he's like because hes jewish
He's quite "based" and "redpilled" in some regards (complaining about ghetto blacks)

Bruv it’s his most known one
>>
>>25187050
Cope, the fandom is as important as the book and the author. There is a reason that French bullshit that tried to focus on the text failed.
>>
>>25187086
nothing about hating his wife though is there
>>
>>25187094
brainwashed by the longnose to subjugate yourself.
anyone can take any work they want and posit any idea they want onto it. this is how New Criticism, post-structuralism and Death of the Author function as ideas.
it's easy to undermine the intention of a creative if you conflate their ideas with that of the perceived enjoyers. you're only harming your own education by doing so, though

>>25186996
which podcasters are shilling delilo?
>>
>>25186996
>>DeLillo ruined by schizophrenic wannabe podcasters
qrd?
>>
>>25187086

That book was a boring drivel. I've read portnoy's, Nemesis, Exit ghost and The Plot and they're all mid. Also all of them are about jews. What a lack of imagination.

literally who?

how did you misspell Barth so badly?
>>
>>25187048
oh, i would... IF THEY WOULD REPRINT HIS GODDAMN NOVELS!!!!!!
>>
>>25187230
>>25187248
Any of the leftwing conspiracy theory podcasts. TrueAnon and whoever they have as guests are probably DeLillo fanboys.
>>
>>25186996
Roth was ruined by being born jewish
>>
>>25187597
How'd you miss the Dalkey reissues a couple years ago?
>>
>>25187740
Trueanon is a Vollmann podcast
>>
You never liked any of those authors in the first place if that's all it takes. You are like the the rest of social media hipsters who just pretend for attention but on 4chan instead. I hope every single person /r/literature shill all your """favorite authors""" and you end up killing yourself, retard.

>the fandom is as important as the book and the author.
Subhuman. You are less than a smear of shit on the streets at this point.
>>
>>25187547
Is this where Harmony Korine got the idea for Julien Donkey-boy from?
>>
>>25187976
Getting this mad over a little joke on 4chan. Very low IQ.
>>
>>25187997
I don't think nobody should get so worked up about what anyone else is thinking, that's not healthy.
>>
>>25186996
>ruined by schizophrenic wannabe podcasters
uh what?
>>
>>25188079
The twist is that OP was talking about himself.
>>
>>25188099
that would be disappointing, i would love to watch a podcast featuring a schizo seeking hidden meaning in delillo novels
>>
>>25187094
>lit
>fandom
never come back here again
>>
>>25188104
"Death Is Just Around the Corner" schizo leftist who sees conspiracies in everything, name is even taken from DeLillo.
>>
>>25188112
thanx
>>
>open thread
>filled with people who obviously haven't read Philip Roth
This board is so predictable.
>>
>>25187259
>all of them are about jews
Who cares? It's like complaining Scorsese makes movies about Italians. Read American Pastoral, The Human Stain, Sabbath's Theater, you picked a bunch of his late books where he's ruminating on his childhood.
>>
>>25187875
i only started to get into lesser-known postmodernists in the past year or so. i snagged W&M on Amazon for decently cheap and i got three of his other novels but thats it
>>
>>25188141
The Italians have aesthetic and historic value.
>>
>>25188131
a less retarded op wouldve been beneficial here
>>
>>25187872
all four of them are probably circumcised
