Who's the father?

Anon, why don't you shill Sterne instead? He seems much more appropriate for our time now. He rejects the enlightenment project, Tristram Shandy is a novel about the absolute state of the 1700s, a long drivel without god, logic or emotion. It's so rational that it's self aware about the chaos of things but not rational enough to find an answer. Tell me that doesn't sound like our ages? I mean, see the 'alas poor yorick' page, it's basically post irony. When he gets to that state where everything is so bad words can not describe it, he has to turn back to a lesser state, that of images.
Sterne himself was an absurd figure, the man only found his passion for writing in his 40s and was a big plagiarist. He plagiarise a lot in Tristram Shandy and even more so on his sermons. Tell me how such a figure can be forgotten when he is the most appropriate to our times? How can you shill Pope so hard and sleep guiltlessly? How can you go by the days knowning Sterne deserves a comeback yet he is simply not read at all? I think you're reasonable and will understand what i'm talking about.

By the way i recommend A Sentimental Joruney

Why don't YOU shill him then? I read a chunk of Tristram Shandy but got sidetracked.

Well, as a pun for one graduating it might be acceptable, although Korzybski would not approve..

If you're keeping that baby, better put a ring on it, and hope for the best. Having a baby is an intense life experience that last for years.

Actually, it doesn't end
Having a child (and taking full responsibility for it) is like passing through an invisible plasm that seperates one from what one used to be, and there's no going back

>you'll never die
>they'll never grow up
pretty sure one of those is going to happen, anon.

>>11835580
strictly, yes
but i don't think one ever stops being a parent
maybe i'm wrong..

>>11835561
How tf are you a single DAD?

>>11833579
That's not my job. I imagined you were receiving money from Pope scholars to shill him on /lit/, can't you also include Sterne?

>>11836262
Use your imagination, anon. There are many ways that this could happen, including the mother's death.

>>11836371
I can't really see any option other than a widower

>>11836406
There's drug addiction, just running away, acknowledgement by the mother that the father's more capable, has his shit more together, etc. And also there're the courts.
But in the best of all possible worlds (to quote Voltaire's misrepresentation of Leibniz) widower's the correct answer every time.

That post was a quite moving piece of writing, anon. Have a (You)
