/lit/ - Literature

Mods moved the thread to /pol/.

>>10039428
Mods are cunts. It's damn book, should be on /lit/

>>10039461
Yeah, no shit, mods are always fucking retarded.

>>10039423
Get it while it's hot

files(dot)fm(slash)u(slash)82kzze22

It continues. Her detractors are the greatest cause of her relevance.

When does this ride end?

I kind of want to buy it

>>10039732
this book's narrative voice is the most infuriating thing ever

>>10039908
That's her real voice. That sociopathic narcissist who honestly believes everyone is hanging on their every syllable.

>>10039732
Hillary has patrician taste

>>10039732
did she actually write the book? how did she find otherwise a ghost writer able to capture that sociopathic, "demon with a human dress going through the motions" kind of tone so perfectly?

all the memery is great. (the cattle rustler algorithm is satire btw)

Why did they even move the thread? All it was was /lit/ laughing at the book with practically zero /pol/ shit, while loads of /pol/ posts stay up daily.

>>10039997
people reported it, mods didn't read the thread, mods moved because hilton

>>10039997
Not only that, but after the thread got moved it turned into shit, who knew?

>>10039732
This is fucking hilarious

>>10039913
>>10039940
And I agree with these

Funny enough, I'm reading a novel now (pic related) in the first-person perspective of a slightly deranged woman just about Hillary's age, who doesn't see how weird she is. You sense an uncomfortable undercurrent of every other character walking away from their interections with her, thinking "yikes what a weirdo."

And it reads almost exactly like Hillary's book:

>When the assistant at the cheese counter complained about the weather I replied, “But aren’t you aware, you naughty and ungrateful man, that where you see clouds upon the hills you soon will see crowds of daffodils?” and even though we were nearer August than April I thought it seemed a jaunty, wise and almost witty thing to say, and indicative too of the springtime which had belatedly come tripping into my own heart. And the man said, “You’re spot on, madam. I only wish that more folks were a bit like you,” and I felt like a combination of Wordsworth, Al Jolson and Walter Huston, only luckier than all three of them, and then I remembered that Huston was connected with “September Song” not “April Showers” but this was also applicable in its own way and I found myself singing it for the remainder of my journey home, not loudly, yet evidently loudly enough to make one or two people glance at me in amused surprise. Well, let them, I thought.

>>10039423
there've been worse politicians.

>>10040157
There's been worse posts.

Hard to believe, but it's true.

>>10039428
They will probably do it again soon.

>>10040162
it's true though, you're just jumping on the bandwagon because you're brainless and want to fit in with your internet friends.

What does she say about Bernie supporters in her book?

>>10040144

I'd be interested to read more books with this same tone in its narrator. Male or female, really. Will check out your pic

>>10040194
>it's true though, you're just jumping on the bandwagon because you're brainless and want to fit in with your internet friends.
There's no way to respond to such inanity.

Who here, or anywhere, has said "Clinton is the worst politician ever"? You're flailing at a strawman, and one has to ask... why?

>>10039732

>>10040264
>There's no way to respond
It's okay you know it's true.

>>10039732
>which was incorrect

>>10039474
Was giving it a check, and then I bumped into this.

There's no way she truly wrote this, is there? You made the whole epub up, didn't you? I don't like her. I devoured Clinton Cash. But even then, I can't believe someone can actually be THIS disingenuous, even her.

>>10040320

>>10039423
I've go cancer reading this part

>LOOK AT ME, I'M A WOMAN. I CAN MAKE SOUND DECISIONS AND INFLUENCE MEN. TRUMP IS BIGOTT.

Fucking racebaiter whore.
obviously they made the ponchos to make them look as KKK dresses. what a joke.

>WE ARE ALL SEXISTS, AND WE ARE ALL RACISTS, AND WE ARE ALL HOMOPHOBIC AND WE ALL HAVE TO POINT THAT OUT

>>10040522
Which other politician have you made a thread about? I'm betting none.
The point is that the only reason you hate hilary is because not only can you not think for yourself you're also a loser who does it to fit in with your internet friends.

>>10039474
Ugh the writer in me recoils at her unceasing abuse of cliches throughout this book. I'm not even 15 pages in and it reads like the most sappy, golly gee faux folksy drivel I've come across in a while.

She should have known what was happening, the past tense matters a lot here.

>>10040543
And she's not stopping.

Someone has a lot of salt

>>10040556
>I didn't recognize

Maybe because she's too busy flying from mansion to mansion on her private jet to notice all the serious issues with crime and homicide facing many American cities.

>>10040543
Like /pol/ and twitter wouldn't have meme'd the fuck out of hilldawg in a white poncho.

I wanna glass a bitch.

Maybe she'd remember accepting money from Goldman and Sachs and selling out to corporates. Not to mention she was under that administration that said banks are too big to fail. They literally gave more power to corporates than any other motherfuckers. And yet she is here now ranting about how there is problem with them. what a bitch

>>10040544
No other politician has ever written a book so bad it is a comedy master piece, though.

>>10040544
>Which other politician have you made a thread about?
Not him, but I've made threads about HST's on the campaign trail 72. And before the Dicky reference blows over your head, HST himself was a politician, and also wrote about his own Aspen campaign.

Cry harder.

>>10040556
howls come from the gut?

>>10040574
It's not like Trumpy boy is any different. No matter who you elect, it's still going to be a puppet of the monied interests.

>>10040544
>Which other politician have you made a thread about? I'm betting none.
What's that got to do with anything?

>The point is that the only reason you hate hilary is because not only can you not think for yourself you're also a loser who does it to fit in with your internet friends.
Kek. And no it's not, do you want me to prove that I haven't liked Clinton for a long time? What is it you're asking for, you strange man?

>>10040607
I can feel that clench from over here.

>these are knowable, verifiable facts

God she is such a lying whore and a demagogue. Hit me the fuck up with your facts, then, H-dhawg. Not to mention Obama did give jobs, but those jobs were mostly part time jobs and didn't give you a lot of money. They beat their dix over jobs that supported american families for a couple of months and then they had to change a job or so. Affordable Care Act was never affordable for those to who it was meant for.

>>10040614
Nigga please. He literally put Gary Cohn and Steve Mnuchin, to ex Goldman executives, in charge of all the money.

Don is as much a shill as anyone.

>>10040616
forgot the image, sorry guys.

>>10040607
At least Trump is not making salty parodies of the American reality ffs

>>10040623
>our military remained by far the most powerful in the world
K I L L A R Y

Please post more. The /pol/ thread is a goldmine

>>10039940
Considering the shit written in this book I'm almost convinced the ghost writer is memeing

>>10040648
The ghost candidate is

>Don’t believe your eyes, don’t believe the experts, don’t believe the numbers, just believe me

Checked the "quote" on google... it's a quote from the book... how stupid this bitch thinks we are? Donnie didn't say that. Can someone verify this again for me? I'm close to a meltdown. The book is cringe already. And I'm just 7 pages into it.

>>10040648
I feel like the editor would also have to be taking a piss, there is no way this went through some sort of quality control and managed to come out like it did, unless making Hillary look crazy was intentional.

how appropriate.

>>10040581
>Not him
Then why the fuck are you replying? The only reason has to be the latter part of my post.
>>10040613
It means you only care about hating on politicians when everyone else is doing it.
You don't need to "prove" anything, it was obvious by how you got butthurt by my one-line post.

>>10040641
Just got to this part... fuck it's killing me.

>>10040662
The real question is not what remained in, but what was cut out.

If this is supposed to be the sane Clinton, that thinks it clever to compare herself to murderous villain Cersei Lannister, how much worse can the real thing possibly be?

>>10040670
>Then why the fuck are you replying?
To say those two words at the end.

But please, to keep on crying harder and harder, because the harder you cry, the harder I get.

>>10040670
>It means you only care about hating on politicians when everyone else is doing it.
Prove it.

I'm sorry... But Obama wiretapped everyone under his presidency. Can't you recall PRISM, Angela Merkel? you piece of shit?

>>10040681
Ew faggot.
>>10040686
I don't have to, you already did it with your reply.

>>10040239
confederacy of dunces, my dude

>>10040695
so much cringe in one book

Isn't that what presidents supposed to be doing? Addressing the hopeless, to give them hope? The dems sure let the red states to shit.

>>10040695
>/pol/
Go join the other racist retards.

>>10039461
/lit/, not /book/. It's about politics, and we have a board for that.

>>10040658
Donald is clearly a Cartesian.

>>10040697
You odd fellow.

>>10040715
I guess you don't need any reason to call someone racist. Trump is a piece of shit too. But Hillary is just way worse, my ignorant, irrational friend.

>>10040725
Nobody would reply to my one-liner without being the type of loser I described.

>>10040722
How the fuck is a book not /lit/ my man?

>>10040738
I'm afraid only literature for intellectuals is allowed on here

>>10040742
Tell that to /sffg/

>>10040742
fucking snobs. feeling they have power and above leve knowledge, deciding what is literature and what is not.

>>10040724
I heard he's a Kantian.

>>10040737
So >>10040162 triggered you so much? Wow.

>>10040669
>If nothing is true, then all is spectacle

Speaking of spectacle...

Debord: "In a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false." (Dans le monde réellement renversé, le vrai est un moment du faux.)

>>10040768
>"Dans le monde réellement renversé" translated to "In a world which really is topsy-turvy"

Hilarious how you can tell when the translator just wants to go home and decides to phone it in.

>>10040767
>I wasn't triggered you were
lmao

>>10040209

>>10039423
Is there a way to figure out who was the ghost writer?

>>10040209

You know Hillary... when you commit a crime and try to falsify or destroy evidence, people get suspicious and people want to luck you asap

>>10040776
I know, it's bad, but Debord is difficult to translate. You have to insist on "réellement", and writing "really upside down" looks too colloquial and makes you miss the true meaning.

>>10040839
Debord was pissed at the English translations of his work.

>>10040708
ayyy wtf

>>10040844
And I understand why... Much of what's beautiful in Debord's prose becomes vague and awkward in English. Want to be more precise? Then it's even more awkward. Want to be more elegant? Then it's even more vague and far away from the original. It looks like there's no way out.

>>10040883
>Translations of this book, which was published in Paris towards the end of 1967,[1] have already appeared in about ten or so countries, and, more often than not, several have been produced in the same language by competing publishers, and nearly always they are bad. The first translations everywhere were unfaithful and incorrect, with the exception of Portugal and possibly Denmark. The translations published in Dutch and German are good in their second versions, even though the German publisher on this occasion neglected to correct a large number of mistakes in the printing. In English and Spanish the third editions had to be awaited in order to know what I had really written. There was nothing worse than the situation it Italy, however, where, as early as 1968, the publisher De Donato put out the most monstrous one of all, which has only been partially improved upon by the two rival translations that followed. Moreover, Paolo Salvadori, having gone to find those responsible for this excess in their offices, had hit them and had even literally spat in their faces, for such is naturally the way good translators act when they meet bad ones. It suffices to say that the fourth Italian translation, which is by Salvadori, is excellent.
http://www.notbored.org/debord-preface.html

Sounds like Debord would agree with /lit/ on translations, he truly is /ourguy/.

>>10040896
Lel, I remember this preface. I would be curious to know what is the Debord-approved translation of "le monde réellement renversé"...

So which is the best translation guys?

>>10040918
Found on the same site:

>In a world that has really been turned upside down, the true is a moment of the false

Quite good, I guess you can't do better in English.

>>10040940
The very last ones

>>10040732
He criticized Obama. How is that not racist?

>>10040977
oh, right. I'm sorry.
I should check my privilege next time :(

I already understood that the world dodged a bullet here, but I'm still trying to figure out the caliber

so what the fuck is the demographic for the people who bought this book? Starbucks liberals and then just a bunch of people across the political spectrum looking for unintentional comedy?

>>10041171
>what the fuck is the demographic for the people who bought this book?
Aspiring fiction writers who want to learn how to write a villain's internal monologue, with a 30% discount

>>10041178
Bali?
Why Bali?
Why not some american palce?
How about Cleveland???

>>10041191
Or the country Trump obsessed over, China, a country for people who choose advisors that think they're pandas

>>10041171
Millennials to vindicate her on social media in order to set her up for a third run when they grow older.

>>10041189
That is probably why she lost really.

I'm starting to think the woman did not read too many marxists

>>10041197
>I'm like a panda
A panda would have won.

The progressive candidate of change

>>10041166
I can't spell exactly what sound I made upon reading this, but it went something like: eeoouurrrhhhh.
Also, reminder that pic got published.

Where was T.S. Eliot from, again?

>>10041233
Not far from Ferguson actually.
