Once upon a
time and a very good time it was there was
a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow
that was coming down along the road met a nicens little boy
named baby tuckoo...
His father told him that story: his father looked at him
through a glass: he had a hairy face.
He was baby tuckoo. The moocow came down the road
where Betty Byrne lived: she sold lemon platt.
O, the wild rose blossoms
On the little green place.
He sang that song. That was his song.
O, the green wothe botheth.
When you wet the bed first it is warm then it gets cold.
His mother put on the oilsheet. That had the queer smell.
His mother had a nicer smell than his father. She played
on the piano the sailor’s hornpipe for him to dance. He
danced:
Tralala lala,
Tralala tralaladdy,
Tralala lala,
Tralala lala.

My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

This is a really dumb quote. It sounds like something a teenage girl from tumblr would right. It's not particularly stimulating prose wise.

I'm put off reading infinite jest now

Not my fault 4chan is the inferior website reddit is better and doesn't let you edit posts.

Lord and savior Dr Bloom essentially compared HFWs writings to mad ramblings of a schizo. And the lowbrow comedy of reality he was going for just came off as a disappointment. A failed effort toward absolute scincereity and basement humor. I stopped reading after the chapter titles were "brought to you by" X company. Jesus christ.

even as a non-sniff fag I love this shit. I love earnest, crude descriptions of sex. Crude not in a edgy teenager sort of way, but this rough, working-class kind.

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita. Did she have a precursor? She did, indeed she did. In point of fact, there might have been no Lolita at all had I not loved, one summer, an initial girl-child. In a princedom by the sea. Oh when? About as many years before Lolita was born as my age was that summer. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns.

As someone whose tried to hang themselves before, this really hits the feels.

>>11388158

did he actually write the word "quote" before a word that has quotation marks around it? how can someone be this retarded?

This is unironically one of the best uses of ellipsis I've ever seen.

>The rain of arrows
please tell me what this is

"I can’t think of any greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, endlessly, even though I feel that here in this world there’s no undisturbed place for our love, neither in the village nor anywhere else; and I dream of a grave, deep and narrow, where we could clasp each other in our arms as with clamps, and I would hide my face in you and you would hide your face in me, and nobody would ever see us anymore." - Kafka, "The Castle"

"And as if by magic—and it may have been magic, for I believe America is the land of magic, and that we, we now past Americans, were once the magical people of it, waiting now to stand to some unguessable generation of the future as the nameless pre-Myceneaen tribes did to the Greeks, ready, at a word, each of us now, to flit piping through groves ungrown, our women ready to haunt as lamiae the rose-red ruins of Chicago and Indianapolis when they are little more than earthen mounds, when the heads of the trees are higher than the hundred-and-twenty-fifth floor—it seemed to me that I found myself in bed again, the old house swaying in silence as though it were moored to the universe by only the thread of smoke from the stove."

You don’t read a quotation mark as “quote”, it’s part of dfw’s shtick of writing as if he was talking to you

>>11388158
This is only good if you've been in that place.
