"I'm withholding my anger
Though I'd like to be the strangler
Of this punk ass little pussy's puny neck
It's my right to insist
That he acknowledge my existence
But he just displays complete lack of respect"
That's what he says to himself
As he uses magazines to trash me
As he sits with both feet up at his desk
Smokes a bag of his weed
And starts imagining things
And he just can't see that he's manically depressed
And in his jealousy and envy
It just whirls him in a frenzy
As he turns on MTV and sees my face
He don't exist in this world
So he just twists and he twirls
Spirals and spins till he hurls himself into rage
And it's destroying him slowly
Cause he does not even know me
Even though he sees me everywhere he goes
So he just tortures himself
He has no fortune and wealth
So he extorts someone else to get his dough
And now he's acting like a bully
So he tries to push and pull me
But he knows that he can't fool me so he's mad
He has no choice but to scream
And raise his voice up at me
Cause it annoys him to see that I ain't scared

Bully - Bret Easton Ellis

ITT /lit/ feuds

Pretty sure everyone knows by this point that David Foster Wallace and Bret Easton Ellis despised each other. So, whose side are you on? Whose books do you prefer, and who do you prefer as a person in general?

Are you on Team Bret or Team David?

he's not, but he's said things objectively better

the rules of attraction captures the zeitgeist of 1980s academia, DFW has not written anything better in the realm of that subject

also he is much better looking and aesthetics are important

How about authors?
