let me guess you were born in 2002

>reading books written by a dude wearing a bandana
+ He was a bad writer. Only reason why we hear about him is because america doesn't have any good writers. They have a lot of people writing books, just no writers worth a damn anymore.

>>14768289
At least 4 of these didn't happen (but would be based if they did)

Meh. Being kissed by the gods is always a heavy burden. Based DFW.

>>14768289
All of that is only making him even more based. Geniuses can be eccentric, they're experiencing the world in a way you'll never be able to understand.

None of the people that """suffered""" from his actions mattered anyway.

>>14768330
Based. OP is an insincere faggot.

>>14768330
This.

Plus all of those allegations have either been presented reductively, or/and by people who had some sort of intense involvement with him. As always with these fucking lowlifes, they, of course, only express all this once the person they’re accusing can’t in any way defend themselves. Fuck ‘em.

And one final point: the majority of those listed would qualify as actual criminal offences (certainly in terms of how they’ve been ‘formulated’), so where are the convictions? Got any charges even?

Seriously. Think for yourselves. This kind of lazy ‘reasoning’ bullshit is embarrassing. Give proof or stay sucking his big boss dick, plebs.

"Nuclear weapons and TV have simply intensified the consequences of our tendencies, upped the stakes."
Intellectual powerhouse indeed. The real infinite jest is that if the guy didn't kill himself, people wouldn't be praising him as much.

>>14768369
No idea what that is. Reddit loves DFW as well, whenever you find yourself on the side of reddit, you should go there.

>>14768289
sound based to me
What is the problem?

>>14768378
> muh butt blast
Seriously, OP. Are you fucking brand new to 4chan? What did you think would happen with your shitty little thread? That we’d all rush to clutch our pearls: “zomg some random thot on twitter sed DFW rap3d her!”? Sure. Because we’re all as easily manipulated by some lying cunt’s bullshit as you amirite.

You fucking sad pleb. Lurk more.

>>14768330
Mary Karr is a better artist, writer and person.

>>14768289
Yet he still was a better person than the average troll and contributed a great deal to the world.

>>14768393
> Mary Karr is a two-bit nobody slut who cooked up fake accusations in order to climb on the #metoo bandwagon so she could push sales of her shit-tier, utterly mediocre ‘work’.
There you go. Fixed that for you, faggot. You’re welcome.

>>14768378
>Reddit loves DFW as well
Looks like you know a lot about reddit's taste. You should consider heading back.

>>14768396
No, he wasn't because a troll doesn't pretend to be morally superior.

>>14768378
> Reddit
Go back.

>>14768393
lmao, here's your (You)

>>14768289
So many butthurt incels in this thread hehe. Imagine praising some faggot who wrote such a voluminous bag of shit instead of reading the classics that have lasted for thousands of years. Start with the Sumerians.

>>14768289
allegedly

>>14768403
> A troll doesn’t pretend to be [something]
Fucking lol.

You know what I think, OP? I think you are actually genuine, that you intended this thread sincerely, and are very likely some fat girl currently undertaking her ‘studies’ in some backwater community college. ‘Women’s theory’ or ‘cosmetology’ (same thing, really).

What now, fatty?

>>14768378
Can you find a different author to "like" or however it all coheres in your head? You haven't read any of DFW's work and this makes you worse than a pedant, more silly than a pseud: you're but an inflamed janny raging gormlessly at your computer stimulations.

>>14768411
> seething OP samefagging

>>14768312
They're out there.
Just that we're so atomized from hyper-individuality and so glib from irony that we can't collectively recognize definitive work that speak of the zeitgeist.

She had dank feet back in the day. That's how she lured in impressionable bookish types

>>14768289
He was an insecure person who desperately wanted to be culturally important so he wrote shitty books that "say" something about American life, and when he realized how big a fraud and jerk he is, hanged himself.

>>14768423
Wrooooooong. I'm not some mindless drone. Tell me. Do you really think this stuttering ungraceful faggot will be part of the canon in 200 years? No. He'll be a footnote in some anthology.

>>14768420
Not OP, but just wanted to let some people know that the guy they worship is a hack and a psychopath.

>>14768428
If you’re going to ‘troll’ your own thread, useless cunt, then at least switch up your posting style. Seriously: this is not fucking plebbit. We have actual standards here.

>>14768429
He did love footnotes.

>>14768429
English not your first language, huh?

>>14768430
Nobody cares what you ‘think’ about anything, insect.

>first part of the sentence consist of incoherent ramblings
>second part of the sentence consists of big words to make up for the shitty first part, and attempt to hide the fact that the author has nothing to say
No wonder you're a DFW fanboy.

>>14768425
This. Mary Karr put on foot clinics all the damned day. She couldn't restrain her slutty slipper dippers from steaming up a room, now wonder she had marital issues

>>14768443
Insincere and buffoonish analysis. *yawn*

>>14768439
No, but I know it and its literature better than you.

>>14768289
And this guy wrote an entire book about how men are awful and treat women like crap.

>>14768451
You're a retard, like how Justin Murphy uses the word. Let that realization never cease ringing in your ears.

>>14768455
Mistreating women is how you get groupie gash on the reg

>>14768457
And you're an unrefined Anglo who has his head so far up his own hairy ass that will never have good taste.

>>14768459
Women can't decide on a definition of mistreatment. One woman's kvetch is another's kink. And they know this, hence why they'd prefer getting deep-dicked by authorial beasts, because even if they don't like it, they'll make other women jealous.

>>14768461
They really do employ quarter-wits, don't they? Incredible.

>>14768461
No, not the hair bottom poopy jokes! How did we get to this Bleeding Edge®?

>>14768341

> can’t even write his own coherently
Faggot pls.

>>14768465
What a clever response. You have surpassed Demosthenes himself. In any case, enjoy wasting your time.

>>14768451
Exactly. Here you are, bitterly whining and fussing but still opening wide for the big dicks of the OG big dick language. It’s a shame you just can’t write it, but whatever. At least you know we’re superior to you and whatever little worthless shithole it is you hail from, faggot. Cry more.

>>14768485
Correct. I went to an English public school. Bitter fag. Want another tissue?

>>14768485
Lmfao you plagiarized that from one of your social betters, didn't you? Did that one sear deeply into your psyche that you clamor for it now under literally obviously seething duress?

>>14768486
And he doesn’t care about you at all.

>>14768493
haha i know because he's dead lmoa

>>14768489
What a gentleman you are! These tears from reveling in laughter has gotten my cheeks quite moist! I heartily accept your generous gift, my friend.

ITT: some foreign cunt (obviously a fat woman) attempts a ‘thread’ on DFW, rehashing the hysteria and fanfic of other worthless women, only to be BTFO out by 4chan totally, while she wails and flails about with her increasingly garbled and desperate lolcow ‘comebacks’ and ‘insults’.

You giggy, nigger. 10/10 would play again, etc.

>>14768500
Jesus. Not him but you really do seem very new here.

>>14768506

america is the cultural center of literature you retard, they have great writers and the best translators if you know english the world is literally your oyster
t.not american or native english speaker
ps most of them do suck ass

I didn't know people actually idolized the man and not the work. This thread is baffling.

>>14768569

The biggest problem with DFW is he was a talentless hack.

>>14770174
yes you did

Goddamn this was entertaining. All it takes is "incel" and "fucked morals" to get people seething. And yes, he was as shit writer.
Try this guy. He actually had a soul.

>>14768579
OH MY GOD A HORSE BEING BEAT NOOOKOOOOOOK

I don't idolize Michael Jackson for being a basket case. DFW struggled with mental illness his whole life. I never took any of his real life shenanigans seriously.

>>14770292
well done *headpat*

>>14768312
Funny, because "America", the Latin part of it, actually produce the most creative literature nowadays. And the U.S, what you call America, are second behind them with some really good genre fiction.

>>14770311
>good genre fiction
With one, maybe two exceptions (Patrick O'Brian, maybe some John le Carre), 'good genre fiction' is an oxymoron.

>>14768330
this

>>14770322
Nah, there's just a lot being written there. The best works aren't necessarily the widely translated or celebrated ones. A friend said I should read Don Winslow, I did out of respect, not really expecting much, but i'm genuinely impressed with The Power of the Dog.

>>14770359
TPoTD was an average book to be honest, felt like the author created narratives for all the famous drug-trade related conspiracies and wove them into one. The average book will now become an average tv series. I honestly am of the opinion that Narcos season 1 shits on it.

>>14770322
Robert Graves was good as well. I'm very glad no murican tv network decided to fuck up I claudius yet.

The plot thread of the adult superwhore* was so bad, & so cheesy it kind of spoiled the book for me, and made me think winslow was, at bottom, a dipshit, although the straight-ahead crime stuff was pretty good -- certainly engaging.
