/lit/ - Literature

You should read The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories

Good luck on your quest!

On a whole, /lit/ is extremely unfunny and is filled with the hipsters from /mu/.

There are women here as well, which makes things even less funny. In short, /lit/ is filled with medicated and mentally diseased individuals who come here to get into arguments for the sake of arguing.

I remember one anon admitted that they frequent a forum site where the whole point of posting there is for people to rage at each other at schizophrenic levels.

Also, most of /lit/ is young and does the 420, which is why they are so extremely lazy and never post textual examples.

Post pictures that defrock pretentious "literary intellectuals".

if you can't even spell the book's name correctly when you even attach a picture of the book and its title then i suggest it's not for you.

not that it is "for" anyone. it's just nonsense anyway. but that's another matter.

pic related. fits better for Finnegans Wake.

"Of teaching Ulysses, Vladimir Nabokov wrote, “Instead of perpetuating the pretentious nonsense of Homeric, chromatic, and visceral chapter headings, instructors should prepare maps of Dublin with Bloom’s and Stephen’s intertwining itineraries clearly traced.”"

is a surrealist writer automatically modernist?
when looking at definitions it seems like a subset of modernism.

This one offended the janitor because it sums up a lot of the people here.
