Unless they're sitting that means Zadie's tall as hell

>>11520924
definitely tall for a woman

>>11520924
Kinda but heels tho

>>11520031
pound looks like a shabby old hog

It makes me stop and think a little when I consider how both Joyce and Hemingway considered Pound the greatest genius among them.

>>11520944
she looks so uncomfortable

>>11520924
DFW was pretty short

>>11520971
Didn't Pound basically save Joyces writing career by publishing Dubliners or Portrait or something?

>>11520971
Pound was unironically really good before he went completely off the deep end. Plus, he helped a lot of the writers of his generation get started even when all he really had was his reputation and a bit of money.

>>11520031

>>11521002
Do you have the original background photo? It's incredibly comfy.

>>11520863

Is he scoping out huma's feetsies? What exquisite footsexual taste

I imagine Pound was an unbearably intense person to be around.
Unless he was friendly with you.

>>11521002

>>11521076
Camus does not belong in there. It should be Thomas Pynchon to complete the meme trilogy.

>>11521086
If you can find any photo of Pynchon that would work then go ahead

>>11521076
This is unironically amazing and bleeding with paranoiac energy.

>>11521076
It looks like Camus played a dirty trick on them

Apparently part of the reason for Kawabata's suicide was that he kept having nightmares about Mishima's death.

Chomsky and Zizek

>>11520031
Tolstoy, Chekhov and Gorky

They got on famously. He even let kurt sleep on his couch

Lacan and Heidegger.

>>11521036
nice

>>11521188
Just Japanese things

>>11521199
Look at that smug fucker

>tfw Pynchon will never share the picture of him when he met Nabokov
>tfw we never got one of Drunken Joyce and Hemingway

a drawing, but by a writer
>according to Sylvia Beach, doyenne of the expat American literary scene in Paris, founder of Shakespeare and Company Books, and publisher of Ulysses, Fitzgerald “worshipped James Joyce, but was afraid to approach him.”
>Beach relates how in 1928 she and her friend, lover, and fellow bookseller Adrienne Monnier, “cooked a nice dinner and invited the Joyces, the Fitzgeralds, and André Chamson and his wife Lucie.”
>Scott drew a picture in my copy of The Great Gatsby of the guests—with Joyce seated at the table wearing a halo, Scott kneeling beside him, and Adrienne and myself, at the head and foot, depicted as mermaids (or sirens). (pic related)
>Fitzgerald---so overawed by the Irish author that he referred to the evening as the “Festival of St. James"---“sank down on one knee before Joyce”—as in his drawing—“kissed his hand, and declared: ‘How does it feel to be a great genius, Sir? I am so excited at seeing you, Sir, that I could weep.’”
>the American “offered to show his esteem for the Irish writer… by jumping out of the window. An amazed Joyce is supposed to have prohibited the display and exclaimed, ‘That young man must be mad—I’m afraid he’ll do himself some injury.’”

>when the whole squad is on point

sorry for the 2015 joke

>>11520863
>>11520944
Zadie really gets around to these writer conventions. Here is one of her and Karl with Tao Lin who is off screen

>>11520995
That was Italo Calvino

>>11521238
Why does Burroughs always look miserable

Derrida who was a heavy drinker got Borges drunk on wine and they deconstructed Borge's stories.

>>11521233
Fuckinh Sartre making dumb faces everytime. Faggot

>>11521251
you just know

>>11521262
mebby bcuz he shot his wife in tha head?

>>11521262
He was deeply affected by his wife's death.

What I want to know is why this dude has pictures with pretty much everyone ever

>>11520944
Jesus, look at all those cigarette butts

>>11521275
Those are leaves, Stevie Wonder.

>>11520863
I would do unspeakable things to zadie jesus christ

>>11521313

>>11521313
>>11521314
Negress is heinous, get some standards.

>>11521320
Something tells me you are a retard

>>11521325
It's more likely that you are. You clearly have bad genes and low standards if you are attracted to ugly African women.

Hesse Mann and Heidegger

>>11521361
very nice pic but it looks like it's not Heidy

Hitler and Nietzsche

Joyce was well connected

Drinking buddies with Hemingway
Enemy of Proust
Psychiatrist was Jung
Sam Beckett dated his daughter
fanboy was Fitzgerald
friends with Ezra Pound and WB Yeats

>>11521415
>Enemy of Proust
Tell me more. I hate proust but wasn't aware Joyce did too

>>11521396
You mean Heidegger? Nice find though.

>>11521424
I assumed the pic was of the other Nietzsche, the foxy sister.

>>11521422
https://wordandsilence.com/2016/05/20/joyce-proust-meet/

Basically Joyce thought of Proust as a rich snob and Proust thought of him as some vulgar drunkard

>>11521263
Can you IMAGINE

>>11520812
I'm literally shaking. Gass and Gaddis goofing around with Joyce in the background looking sharp, all the while Vonnegut tries to join in on the fun, but is rejected as the pleb he is.

>>11521385
A few good men.

>>11521233
>sorry mister foucault, this club has a strict 'no pseuds' policy

>>11521730
kek said no French club ever

Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth.

>>11521361
>>11521368
It's Jakob Wassermann.

>>11521775
Roth was a funny looking motherfucker. Gifted, though. Thanks for reminding me I still got to read his short stories.

>>11521775
Keep the kike shit off of /lit/, fellas.

>>11521803
>i have never read these authors but they must be bad because i googled their ancestry and didn't like the results!!!!!

How about you discuss lit or gtfo

>>11521190
Nah, that's clearly Zizek's dear friend, Jacques Derrida.

>>11520944
>Bogdonavich once asked him about it.
>You know how you stand in the doorway in that last shot?
>And how you have your arms?
>Was that on purpose?
>Did you choose that pose, or…
>John Wayne said,
>I knew a guy who stood like that all the time.
>And the pose always seemed so lonely to me.
>I thought it would work well in that last shot.

>>11521710
> tfw we will never find out why the Absolute Spirit is a squirrell.

Maybe that's why someone threw down a chair.

>>11520812
The Chad Gaddis vs the virgin Vonnegut

>>11521530
joyce died in 1941?

>>11521530
That's not Joyce just a nigga with an eye patch

>>11522095
>>11522123
It clearly is Joyce. Joyce is the eyepatch man. Who the fuck else could it be

>>11522136
Just a roving pirate stumbling into the frame? Come on now

>>11520812
darn Vlad Putin interfering in our literature

>>11520944

>>11521256
3/8. I paused for a second, then was like, ‘no’.

>>11520812
>Vonnegut’s face
“BuuUUh”

I’m dying

>>11521822
Damn capitalist Nature causing all those disasters.
That list gets me every time.

Éditions de Minuit coming through.

Robbe-Grillet, Simon, Mauriac, Lindon, Pinget, Beckett, Sarraute, Oliver – that’s 2 Nobel right there...

>>11521188
I read a biography about mishima and apparently Kawabata chuckled at mishima when he tried to tell him his work sucked, and mishima became furious about it. It was something along those lines anyway.

>>11521385
A confederacy of dunces

>>11522381
Fuck Beckett was cool

>>11523082
keep your homoeroticism in check, this is a straight board.

>>11520971
he probably was the smartest
same thing with Coleridge and the Romantics

>>11523127
There is nothing gayer than reading a book. It's easily the most feminine activity one can do. How anyone can read more than ten pages without going full homo is beyond me.

>>11521385
>God sucks
>yea, I hate God
>fuck religion
>emotions are gay
>qualia sucks
>science rocks

>>11522387
hilarious

>>11520031
L to R: Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Luis Buñuel.

Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges

Julio Cortázar and Alejandro Jodorowsky.

>>11523358
Young Ricky Gervais looked even more like a villain than he does now.

Ever wondered why Hitler hated the jews?

>>11523404
>hated them because of Wittgenstein
Stupid theory. It's not even clear whether the boy on the left is Wittgenstein.

>>11523404
Because he realized jews hated him. There's no more hateful a culture than judaism, woke goyim are only reacting.

>>11523338
Absolutely based. Fuentes' my man.

>>11523404
Thats neither Hitler nor Wittgenstein.

>>11523552
Jews hated him because everyone hated him, in WWI he was famous for being a sperg

>>11523404
As a scapegoat to blame all of Germanys problems. It became obvious it wasn't it when he arrested all the jews and the country was still going horribly.

>>11523564
Jews hate all non-jews.

>>11522157
0/10

>>11522095
>>11522123
Carol Joyce Oates you idiots

>>11523570
Take it to /pol/

>>11523566
No one believes this jewish narrative anymore. The jews wrecked Germany and have been kicked out of so many places not because they've been muh scapegoat, but because they're a deceptive, destructive people.

>>11522356
It's a parody of the Communist lists that use the same logic

>>11523580
Take your medication and go back to /pol/ please and thank you.

>>11523588
No, you keep false jewish narratives off of /lit/. It's people like you who don't belong here.

>>11521192
why do their faces look drawn in?

>>11523663
Yeah something about the eyes is off.

>>11521435
fuuug

>>11523566
>country was still going horribly
For Jews

>>11523082
came here to say this.

>>11523597
fuck off you stupid basement dweller this is a thread about photos of writers

>>11524291
Do writers by dictation count?

>>11521263
Oh shit that's the picture they have framed on the wall of the BC philosophy department. I knew the first figure was Borges but didn't know the second. good to know

>>11524291
Okay, here's a couple writers.

>>11523580
>90% are from Germany
really causes one to ponder

>>11524655
Huh? Anyway, here's a more comprehensive list.

>>11521265
