/lit/ - Literature

It has never struck me until this moment but why are there never parallels drawn between the Underground Man and Holden Caufield?

An unconscious truth.

Ideology, in the way zyzzek uses it, refers to a kind of tinting in our perception, colouring everything we comprehend. Pure ideology therefore is when that tint is so heavy that it's all we see.

And this perceptual tinting is of course influenced by social structures, biological particulars and so on

I just watched Raging Bull and was thinking about how fun it is to go through a story with a protagonist who is an enormous shithead. What are some good novels you guys have read that had a jerkoff for a main character?

I had the idea for a fantasy setting that draws from middle ages' mythology and Grimm's tales, just to play safe and avoid falling into the usual fantasy rookies' traps.

Basically, I wanted to see if I could make a fantasy story of my own but I think I'm about to do everything backwards.

Pic related. Who I'm basing my protagonist on.

Flash fiction thread, start rolling:

Dubs - forget everything above and write about whatever you want, but give your text a title
