Is this actually good or just a third-rate Pynchon ripoff? I don't want to waste my time.

Anyone know where I can get this for cheap? It’s $45 and up on amazon and I doubt I’ll see this at my local bookstore. I want to read it and see what all the fuss is about.

Have we bullied this faggot into republishing this yet? Have you read it? What did you think?

how do we meme this faggot back in print?

y-you didnt forget about me, d-did you, /lit/-kun?

>WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING
There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says, 'meme me once, shame on...shame on you. meme me — you can't get memed again'

Unironically this. Expected it to suck but I couldn't put it down.

I know it's a meme. I know it gets a lot of hate. I don't care, this fucking book knocked me on my ass. People like to talk about the overly dense prose and call it shallow, and it's obvious they've never read it because this novel has some of the most genuinely beautiful scenes I've ever read. It's definitely hard, but it's worth it.

I know you're here, Justin.

It's so obvious that nobody here has even tried to read this. Mcelroy and Vollmann are the two writers I am sure nobody here reads, based on how laughable all the """criticism""" is.

There's a few chapters that hit me a lot harder than I expected.

34 DAYS UNTIL WOMEN AND MEN BY JOSEPH MCELROY DROPS.

are you ready for the reading event of the summer?

Post a book that you think everybody should read and nobody knows.

We are all getting the new print of women and men this summer? Reading group: a summer of women and men. You lads down?

Lmao wtf am I reading

"I have gone on writing (and perhaps I must stop doing so) mostly about
the warm separateness of men and women, their city, its shifting look, work,
and plan, not only my home town subway that opened in 1904 and all the
details of its construction (and now, if I may be in two times, seven months
after this talk in Orleans?reconstruction) like bridge building, but its
meaning, its habit of passing through an invisible city to let you off and up
to the surface somewhere, action, children, work force (we say) changing
and meeting and not meeting one another, "things here below," the title of a
story I'm writing?but the invisible city past and inside you (what
Bachelard would have done with the New York subway), and patterns
mobile, abstract, and like layer on layer of thought, yet inherent and I've
hoped biophysical, infra-structures scoped by all our precise knowledges
and intuition. This was mixed and a risk, it led me everywhere, it led me by
analogy and question and probably some ear-to-the-ground naturalism of my
own to science, where I had often been anyway.

why not both?

I downloaded the epub version of this from libgen, and I'm wondering if anyone here can confirm that it's accurate? Been wanting to read this for a while, but am paranoid that it will have errors or missing sections I won't be aware of. Can't afford to spent 1t9 dollars on it.

Also, if you did read it, what were your thoughts?

Guess what I just bought for $2

When?

anyone know where i can steal this book?
