/lit/ - Literature

I really hate the Lord of the Rings. Both the work itself and the effect it had on literature and general pop culture.

big yawn—say something interesting about underworld instead =^) (you can't and you won't)

1. Less Than Zero is narrated by Clay

2. RoA is narrated primarily by Patrick Bateman's brother and a girl and a gay guy + Patrick Bateman has a single chapter near the end + Clay has a single chapter which parodies LtZ better than DFW was able to

3. American Psycho mocks RoA in the opening chapter + Paul from RoA appears staring at Bateman b/c he looks like Sean + Tim Price (Justin Theroux from the AP film) appears in multiple chapters of The Informers

4. Glamorama is narrated by Victor, a character with 2 chapters in RoA + He dies in the last 1/6 of the book most people miss this + Mentions Lauren, one of the main narrators from RoA: “Lauren Hynde died in … December 1985 … in a car accident … outside Camden, New Hampshire.” (Right after RoA ends lol)

5. The Informers... doesn't matter... Tim Price + someone from LtZ are main + Sean Bateman from RoA is mentioned

6. Lunar Park is about fictionalized Ellis and loops in all his previous books + someone imitating murders from AP

7. Imperial Bedrooms is a different Clay from LtZ + claims LtZ the novel was written by someone else + mocks the movie's connection to reality + is self-contained to the LtZ characters

What part is schlock? The

pages of goofball violence in the 400pg postmodernist novel?

Nice—useless—opinion, bruh.

>i'm not a teenager
What do you think this book is? Have you read any other Ellis?

>it seems like a book for teenagers
What does this mean? Do you think Catcher in the Rye is also for teenagers? The book is a comedy and that is lost on most people b/c of its reputation and a few pages of outrageous and physically impossible violence.

Why does this man feel threatened by everything? I hope the ghost of DFW is haunting him every night.
