/lit/ - Literature

Meursault is very comfortable in his body and satisfying his primal urges (eat, sleep, fuck) comes first. That sunray relfected in the knife the Arab was holding hit him right in the eye and he felt physically attacked by it. He doesn't like feeling uncomfortable.

Ikr? Writing in the form of literal thoughts is degrading, but that's how low 20th century literature goes. Glad to know I'm not the only one that doesn't appreciate it

What's that opposite version of Lolita with a woman and a boy/boys? I've seen it discussed here, is it any good?

let us know when she goes mad and bites your dick off

What is the point of writing in the age of information when less than 1% of people read? Is literature done for or has it transformed into moving pictures? Is academia the last bastion? No tradition can be saved consciously because tradition is supposed to transform from generation to generation, "keeping" tradition the way it is is actually wrong. The only keepers of tradition are the illiterate villagers, extinct in the first world, which is the reason the West is losing identity. There is no collective people. This stresses me out.

please, ancient Greek texts are mostly lost, we know nothing about them, their civilization is as mythologized to us as are Asian civilizations

>'History' didn't even start until ancient Greece
Interesting Eurocentric point of view. One of the best Greek myths is the one about Zeus stealing Europa from Asia (Phoenicia to be exact). Your "Western" (European) civilization is progressing westward from the middle East, so your history starts in Asia
