Based or Reddit?
>>25412730redditors absolutely loathe him because he was "misogynist", even though it was quite clear he needed women in his life
>>25412730The George Carlin of literature
>>25412730He's 95% reddit.
>>25412733He's more Facebook than anything. For white-trash adjacent chin-stroking guy who went to community college and still gives a shit about Hunter S. Thompson
>>25412733Ok, so he’s Reddit ten years ago.
>>25412730Fun to read in the moment, ultimately completely pointless, wasted talent.But not especially offensive, either. I'm not sure why anyone would seek this other than to make themselves feel less bad about their addictions by making them sound funny.
>>25413035his lifestyle and philosophy were super radical for the generation preceding him. nobody thought you could be a layabout drunkard cooze hound and make a profession writing about it.
>>25412733Being a misogynist doesn't necessarily mean that you don't need a woman in your life, quite the contrary.
>>25413040>nobody thought you could be a layabout drunkard cooze hound and make a profession writing about it.Lots of writers were like that, Bukowski stood out because he was unashamedly working class and vulgar
>>25413058Most committed misogynists are gay, happily single or married a woman purely for childrenThe ones who need women are more disappointed romantics

OP can't enjoy prose independently of who likes it

>Entitled and Spoiled Boomer: The Author
Very polarizing. At times great at times terrible.
>>25412730He's kinda like the J. K. Rowling of poetry, in the sense that his life is more interesting than his works. But talented, I give him that.>>25415211Go back to your grave, Nabokov.
>>25415122How so?
>>25415122>Entitled and SpoiledRetard
Don't like him, don't like 95% of his work, but "The Fiend" is an amazing short story, pretty much perfect, very relatable.
