/lit/ - Literature

how can such a shitbook be so successful, and not only in america, but in eastern europe as well?

stay jealous, plebs
no one wants to hear your fag songs you call 'poetry'.

god people are just so fucking stupid, i am not even trying to be edgy. But there isn't any difference between the average person and a child. they are still children in their mind.

Nothing is happening. Mainstream tabloid's culture section reporting on worthless garbage isn't a new development. If anything Rupi Kaur is probably still a step above Fifty Shades, so that's an improvement overall.

Did you know that Schopenhauer mother who wrote chic-fics was more famous than he was and for his whole life he was known as the son of Johanna Schopenhauer?

Centuries later all her books are forgotten and now she is only known as being his mother.

Oh and she had epic banter skills


>On his arrival at Weimar he presented his mother with a copy of his work. She did not even evince the ordinary interest of an acquaintance, still less that of a mother, for her son's production, of however uncongenial a character.

>'The fourfold root,' she said. 'Oh, I suppose that is a book for apothecaries.'

>His haughty reply is surely pardonable.

>'It will be read, mother, when even the lumber room will not contain a copy of your works.'

>It was diamond cut diamond. 'The whole edition of yours will still be on hand,' she answered.

I see Your skull if full of prapaganda thet we are the bad guys we drink vodka we dance with bears and Its realy cold and evrey day is snowing in Russia and my name us Ivan and my gf name is Natasa
Here u go

Site down my slavic barbaric son and let me tell you a story

>Russian language is realy old
>my mother tounge was Finnish swidish as I'm originally from novgorod
>100% pure Slavic Viking blood in my body
Every morning I get up and thank my slavic gods for this precious gift.
I fully understand that my slavic genes, mentality and barbaric instincts protect me from being a fucking cuck like the most of the westerns weak scums are.
But I still have my slavic brothers fate thet right now are infected with this westener evil jewish scums in east Europa in Ukraine in hungaria in Poland in the Balkan They are all over the place this filty Englos Americans who do Any thing They can to make a war between us the Slavs dont you get it ?? look at swedan look at cucked Germany is infected by this scums look at all the world They are all infected by the globolizem.

The purest and original slavs live in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. We never get mixed with mongols not with englos Its a prapaganda They tell you When you a serb or me a russian or any slavic man speak the Russian language then your body starts producing high amounts of testosterone. So Thus cucking a slavic russian serbian man is simply Just impossible. The reason why our countries are fucked up is because the majority of our men are alpha males who because of high T, do what they fucking want without thinking about others and america use this to make a war btwean us the slavs in east Europa btwean all of us now in Your yugoslavia in ostro-hungaria in Bulgaria in gracce the west halped the muslims and the jews Just like right now america protecting isreal the zionist land

Also blyat Though when our beautiful slavic master race women speak, they sound so feminine that all they can do is just being submissive to us to the slavic man even if he beat her to death

The Russian language sounds pure and strong. And barbaric for man and sexy for women and Kind for our Kids and It was created by men who had to live under very rough hard circumstances in snow and cold and ice It is a language every alpha slavic blood male should speak.

You are full of prapaganda if you think russians can dare himsalf to kill a serb

Our moto is We will kill Only nato soldiers and pepole who dont speak the slavic languages

Only slavs will Anderstend my posts

>>10149662

This Atlantic article is fucking hilarious.

https://www.thecut.com/2017/10/profile-rupi-kaur-author-of-milk-and-honey.html

>Kaur does not like to read when she is writing, and says that she hasn’t finished a book all year.

>“I will always go into a used bookstore,” she says, even when she’s working. “I’ll collect a lot of covers that inspire me — whether it’s the paper inside, whether it’s a font, so then later I can be like, okay, how’s mine going to look?”

>“This guy is the best,” she says, noticing an edition of Kafka’s complete stories; she’s referring to Peter Mendelsund, the book’s designer. “The dream is to have him design my next book.” His work, she points out, translates well across media — to different sizes, to posters, to digital.

And this is the gem:

>On a cart at the Strand, Milk and Honey sits alongside Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit, and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehesi Coates. Kaur read half of Between the World and Me. “I had to take notes,” she says — it was “more academic” than her typical reading.


She's famous because women are fucking stupid. You just have to not let it bother you, and learn to laugh at them.

>Many fans told me they share her poems with friends via Instagram or screen shots sent as texts, as encouragement or as a way to let Ms. Kaur’s work speak for them. Ms. Kaur becomes permission and voice both, a reminder and a vehicle that they have every right to speak, even when they are made to feel like they should be silent. Organizations including the National Eating Disorders Association, Moms Can Code, and Curvy Girls Scoliosis all broadcast Ms. Kaur’s work on social media as encouragement, solidarity or motivation.
>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/05/fashion/rupi-kaur-poetry-the-sun-and-her-flowers.html

Rupi Kaur is a product of neoliberalism and the communicative economies of social media. She started out on instagram and her 'poems' could easily be mistaken for fake Marilyn Monroe quotes shared by normie thots on facebook. You can't criticise Rupi Kaur's work without addressing the cultural ecosystem that produced it, ie. the 'eternal present' of late capitalism, a world inhabited by atomised subjects wrecked by anxiety disorders, desperate for a sense of identity and authenticity. Yoga, Astrology, pop feminism, technoutopianism and identity politics all draw from the same new age californian substrate. The subject has to be fully quantified and monetised, everything that was once hidden has to be laid out in the open. Behind the total sovereign freedom of the consumer unit, lurk the baroque coercive mechanisms of the society of control, algorithms, panopticons, nonstop propaganda streams. This can only end in mass psychosis.

>The Technopo(e)litics of Rupi Kaur: (de)Colonial AestheTics and Spatial Narrations in the DigiFemme Age

>Abstract: Rupi Kaur, a trending poetess of Instagram, has recently gained critical acclaim online for her newly published poetry collection milk and honey which is a stunning depiction of trauma, survival, love, womanhood, and friendship. Identifying as a first-generation Canadian, Punjabi-Sikh, woman of color, Kaur works visually in her book and on Instagram to portray and subvert how space functions to produce the gendered, diasporic subject as a body that is “unhomed.” Through the complex interplay of illustrated imagery and verse, Kaur contests the violent spatial (and bordering) practices of nationalism by positioning her poems’ personae in new and different ways to occupy, produce, and claim space off and online—performances of celebration, reclamation, resistance, and ultimately, acts of (de)colonial self-love. Kaur’s art and cyberspatial narration adds an important dimension to considering the colonial project of space. Occupying space on Instagram, Kaur supplants the place where women have traditionally been relegated. It is exactly the embodied telling of Kaur’s artwork that she attributes to the importance of its public nature: the Instagram becomes the home—rehomed by her art—whereas the nation becomes the network. Through Kaur’s narratives shared online, Kaur connects to a cyberspatial sisterhood and demonstrates that healing through narrative is necessarily collective.

'decolonialism' is a prelapsarian fantasy, the illusion you can get rid of everything that's fake, compromised and inauthentic and start anew. There is a bizarre convergence between the postmodern left and the identitarian-traditionalist right, see for example, Dugin, Soral.
