The work being of some value was part of the criteria.

>>11079922
Can you name one person at all who has written a novel of any value in the past 5 years?

Houellebecq

>>11079922
Me

>>11079958

Blake Butler

Stop Washing your Dick by Varg Vikernes

>>11079971
The best novel of the past 5 years (not a particularly prestigious award) was written by a white male. Whites>Hispanics>Asians>>>>everything else

>>11079922

Hahahaha! Houellebecq Is the only white boi holding up the status quo! Hahahahaha!

>>11079922
Anything written in the past 100 years is pure rancid dribble that should not just be discarded, but disdained. In this sense white males are actually superior, as they've no pretensions of worth in this regard, recognizing the mediocrity of the times by not making earnest and pathetic appeals both for and by the intellectually and spiritually bankrupt.

>>11080204
Imagine actually thinking this

>>11080204
So what you’re saying is white bois literally produce nothing if effort? At least you can admit it.

>>11080178
Pretty much. Noone else ITT has made a legitimate claim otherwise.

>White champion is a Roux de Poux

>>11080204
I want to argue against this but I just can't. I know it's true deep down, maybe that's why I can't commit to writing anything, subconsciously we all know it's deeply futile.

John Green

>>11080331
me no read modern literature so me knows it bad

>>11080331
Modern literature =/= literature from the past 100 years
The zeitgeist of 1918 is way different from the modern day, and the literature is different as a result

>he reads novels written within the last 2,500 years

It stops at 482 BC. for me fellas. Anything newer than that is too progressive.

G'night.

Hilarious post anon. Reminds me a lot of Hitchiker's guide, my favorite book next to the Avengers comics (if they count, xD). What kind of stuff are you into though? I bet we have similar awesome taste and I'd love to get a few recs.

What. the. fuck. I just had to wash the chicken blood off of my hands to respond to this post.

Stop. Reading. Literature.

I have a saying
"If it aint written on a stone tablet,
I'm not gonna sit there an' read abouttat"

>>11080204
Let's assume this is true for arguments sake, it then begs the question why? We then have to ask, are blacks, and women, and the like, and all their many insipid works in fact victims of this era of mediocrity because they couldn't reasonably be published before -- or is this era of literature mediocre precisely because blacks and women and the like are now represented and even prevalent among the readership and published writers of the day?

>>11080492
we're superior as white men. women and nonwhties are inferior of mind to us.
Get women back in the kitchen where they belong, and nonwhites back to Africa, then you'd see your Joyces, your Prousts, your Shakespeares resurface within only a few years

>>11080468
>stone tablets
Reading signs and inventing up portents from patterns in fire was good enough for my father, and his father, and his father, and his father, and his father too (and his father too, too!), and you better bet it's good enough for me.

>Let's assume this is true for arguments sake
except it clearly isn't you braindead mongoloid

>>11080526
Have you the slightest evidence to support this (rather charged) claim?

>>11080506

ah yes, all of the nonwhites back to africa, just everybody that isnt white regardless of origin should just go to that continent, I'm part of the meme right guys?

>>11080536
it call redpill swwethert kid

>actually caring about anything written in the last forty years

>>11080506
reading this in the context of this thread is hilarious

95% of any list of great writers, living or dead, is going to be made up of straight white men, although gay white men will also be disproportionately represented as well.

>>11080618
But what about in the past five years? Nothing. Some of you mention the french goblin but that's it.

>yfw white bois are no longer needed in the realm of literature.

>>11079922
Ernest Cline

>>11080642
Obvious b8. Name one person of color who has written anything of value in the last five years. Or 10 years. Or 100 years. I don't give a shit about /pol/ stuff, but literature is overwhelmingly dominated by white men, that's just a fact, and most of them do happen to be straight, although you obviously specifically added that bit in hoping it would give you an out, knowing the predilections of many great artists and all (would have worked better with painting or poetry). There isn't a POC equivalent to Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Goethe, etc. Hell, there's barely a POC equivalent to 2nd or 3rd rate white authors. The only group who possesses any kind of a remote challenge are the Japanese (Mishima, Tanizaki), and with all due respect to the Japanese, who excel in many other regards, none of the best Japanese novels are within miles of anything written by the giants of literature in Europe or the US.

>>11080663
Agreed

>>11080492
>everyone of learning or discernment holds modern novels in scorn
>almost none of them can ever articulate why
I think you may have solved it anon, I honestly never considered things in that light but fuck me if it doesn't sound and feel correct.

>>11080740
You haven't written anything of value. Does that mean you're a nigger too?

>>11080740
Three words for you:Toni. Freakin' Morrison.

Don Quixote
Tristram Shandy

>>11080506
If blacks go back to Africa, then whites go back to Europe. But that's never gonna fucking happen because it's a retarded idea.

>>11080740
these types of posts work better without throwing in the Japanese

>>11079962
This, it's all complete shit nowadays, insipid unoffensive trash

>>11080740
>Mishima, Tanizaki

I'm working on something for all of you. Be patient :)

>>11079922
Can you name one novel of any real value, written in the past 5 years?
Im waiting....
