Who keeps posting this shit thread every day? Stop pretending depression is some sort of meaningful identity.

>Robert Alterin his review of the book in The New Republic wrote: "Some may seize on it as a postmodern masterpiece, but it is a bloated monster of a book. [...] The bloat is a consequence of sheer adipose verbosity and an unremitting condition of moral and intellectual flatulence. [...] The abjection of (Gass') hero seems less lived than written. It is an act of ventriloquism: behind the repulsive, potentially fascist narrator stands his critic, the novelist, presumably committed to humane, democratic values. But those values are nowhere intimated in the book, and what emerges is a kind of inadvertent complicity between author and protagonist. The supposedly critical novel becomes an enactment of bad faith."[5]

>>12520645
It's originally the avatar of a Polish poster on late krautchan.

I would add the tragic sense of life by Unamuno

>>12520779
This
Doomers are just 23 yo NEETs who are too undisciplined to actually read, but pretends to do in order to market themselves as a victimized cool gothdark subculture.

>>12521302
If you read a selection of quotes, his shit sounds super profound. But if you read his books, it's just droning on and on and on. He really beats a dead horse about how life has absolutely no meaning.

There's, "life has no meaning, that's the ultimate freedom"
And then there's, "life has absolutely no redeeming value, everything you thought you valued is actually a lie.. The only reason I don't kill myself is because I can sell you these books"

It's really disappointing that such a large portion of this board seems to approach literature through the lens of a literal fucking wojak meme.
Do you want to read these books because you feel like they're what the this particular wojak would read, or because you think they'll bring you closer to your ideal (which I remind you, is a fucking meme, and a dead one at that), or because you feel like your meme personality is reflected in this wojak and therefore feel like these books would resonate with you? Why do you even read? In order to validate the personality you have shoddily constructed for yourself?
This isn't even being a pseud, it's just sad.

>>12523454
I like reading books with dark themes calm down

Fuck you, fuck me, fuck everything. Fuck it fuck it fuck it. Who am I to pretend to love humanity? Look at the world: it is a laughingstock and disgrace. I am a parody of myself, deluding myself into believing that I have a chance to save the world, or even myself. It's all a hard cope, no different than any other, a way to rationalize the utter wretchedness of life itself. Love of life is for the bourgeois elite who are privileged enough to enjoy it while others suffer. Hating life is the only revolutionary act, as it acknowledges the suffering of the proletariat. Anyone who loves life is an enemy of the people and themselves, and they must be made to hate life to know suffering. Ridicule, mock, criticize, and deconstruct all who express love of life. Throw books at them until they die, whip them mercilessly with contempt until they submit and clean their room. Only if we hate life enough can we truly change - oh wait, we can't, because there is no salvation or redemption. There is only hatred without conditions, universal hate is the only way. No solution, no way out, no future, no hope, only forwards.

Only two minutes left before there is peace at last, and we return to the nothingness from which we came. Our time is up.

Im going to make a bloomer lit chart I already have some things in mind of what to put in it but what do you lads recommend

>>12523508
This is exactly why you're a shit reader. Reading because of "theme" or content is baby's fucking first.
Form is the only reason to read anything, beauty the only possible goal.

>>12520884
Tunnel is overwritten crap.

Journey to the end of the night is real enjoyable.

>>12520884
Literary critics care about everything except literary aesthetics it seems

>>12520597

>>12522367
You cannot use 4chan and like it enough to use it on a regular basis without suffering from mental illness

>>12520597
Bloomer /lit/ chart coming through

>>12523998
The Gay (Asexual) Science is on both charts, not sure if that speaks to Nietzsche's broadness of vision or to how poorly he is generally understood.

>>12524015
the gay science is peak bloomer desu

Bump

>>12520597
I thought doomers "can't read" or some such

>>12523998
You're an actual fascist propagandist. Go back to /pol/ you miserable turd. People like you are less than nothing, you DON'T EVEN READ.

Fucking pseuds have taken over /lit/

>>12524421
Doomerism is propaganda made by fascists from /pol/ to encourage anti-intellectualism on /lit/. All they do is attack, attack, attack, they present no positive thesis because their thesis is full Nazism and so they must hide it like the cowardly fucks they are.

>>12524782
How the hell is a chart with Eastern philosophy, Perec, Spinoza and fucking Deleuze fascist propaganda?

>>12520597
Should put Hunger on here

>>12524782
>>12524815

made a more clear doomer chart
>>12525570
thanks for reminding me

>>12525856
Is The Conspiracy Against the Human Race actually worth reading or is it just a meme?

>>12523938
>aesthetics
This isn't /fa/

>>12520597
Hell yeah I fkn love Faust

>>12523563
Pretty sure there is another bloomer chart so you can check that for inspiration

>>12520758
Extinction is great, but Correction is the best Bernhard and should probably be on there instead

>>12525527
>Eastern philosophy
>/pol/
my thoughts exactly. doesn't /pol/ only admire the east for their ethnocentricity? and nothing else. any time eastern religion or anything related to it shows up they just yell DEGENERATE

>>12520758
Artaud

>>12520597
What's some good loomer /lit/?

>>12527558
Some list that includes a huge variety of shit in order to try to appeal to everyone.

>>12527451
that's not what happens.

>>12520597
but Lenz back on there

>>12527568
the thing is this list has almost no variety... all of it comes from the same camp of thought & is extremely curated to a particular sort of individual.

>>12522735
sauce?

>>12525856
>>12527574
there is an open space next to trakl put it there

>>12527579
How is eating chicken part of someone's personality?

>>12523967
based and honkpilled

>>12527621
> Big bag of frozen chicken breast, mcnuggets, onions, jack in the box, top ramen, right beneath a workout plan and "goes to gym twice a month"

Someone who wants to lead a healthy lifestyle and cook for themselves but isn't disciplined enough to do it well or consistently.

>>12523938
Sperg-tastic post, truly.

>>12522358
Yeah, the starting kit.

>>12520597

What are these shitty threads adding to this board?

Nice argument retard

>>12529665
Awareness of structural elements in writing is just projection then?

>>12526091
>third paragraph of the preface is about how when he was 9 he got into an argument with his parents, then his friends made him have an existential crisis 5 minutes later
