/lit/ - Literature

The GOAT
He actually coined the term GOAT

David foster wallace: threw a coffee table at a woman, raped a 17 year old while on tour, stalked a 5 year old child, pushed woman from a moving car, threatened to kill a guy.... why do literary people still stan him? "buhhh but uh irony is the problem"

>>15909745
More proof he's the GOAT
Thank you, Junot Diaz, the pathetic diversity hire of literature

>That violación. Not enough pages in the world to describe what it did to me. The whole planet could be my inkstand and it still wouldn’t be enough. That shit cracked the planet of me in half, threw me completely out of orbit, into the lightless regions of space where life is not possible. I can say, truly, que casi me destruyó. Not only the rapes but all the sequelae: the agony, the bitterness, the self-recrimination, the asco, the desperate need to keep it hidden and silent. It fucked up my childhood. It fucked up my adolescence. It fucked up my whole life. More than being Dominican, more than being an immigrant, more, even, than being of African descent, my rape defined me. I spent more energy running from it than I did living. I was confused about why I didn’t fight, why I had an erection while I was being raped, what I did to deserve it. And always I was afraid—afraid that the rape had “ruined” me; afraid that I would be “found out”; afraid afraid afraid. “Real” Dominican men, after all, aren’t raped. And if I wasn’t a “real” Dominican man I wasn’t anything. The rape excluded me from manhood, from love, from everything.
His name was David Foster Wallace, and he got away with taking my coochacha.

You mean he's the "real deal", while you're a faggotty piece of no talent scum the kikes love to parade as "literature"?

>>15909745
Holy shit did all of those things actually happen? and who the fuck is Junot Diaz?

>>15909782
Yes. It's all verified.
>He pushed the poet and memoirist Mary Karr from a speeding vehicle.
>He threw a coffee table at Karr and shattered it.
>After attempting to pay Karr back for destroying the table he threw at her, he demanded that she give him shards of the table to keep.
>He stalked Karr and punched out her car window.
>He assaulted a student during a creative writing class he was teaching.
>He had sex with his creative writing students and, while on book tour, a 17-year-old.
>He stalked Karr and her five-year-old son, and threatened to shoot Karr’s husband with a gun he’d bought for that express purpose.

Is this really Junot Diaz? Fuck you. You're worthless and you've destroyed liteature because you have no talent and fucking karens love you

>>15909734
No discernible talents

>>15909798
When butterfly dislikes you, you're verified gold!

>>15909844
Then why are you trying to prove yourself on 4chan you fucking loser

>>15909849
Klk, I'm reeling from my childhood trauma of getting los violacion by DFW. Currently trying to write again, but I get distracted and come to Peruvian basket weaving forums while I try to heal.

Who the fuck is Junot?? WTF

>>15909858
You're a pathetic LARPer. Get a fucking life. Read DFW and you'll learn some shit

>>15909734
He is ok. I like the way he writes.

I don't understand why this fag Junot is trying to hijack a DFW thread. Anyone, clue me in?

>>15909873
He's a pathetic has been "literary" (kike words) star, who has appeared in magazines published by Scholastic (can you be less fucking literary than having written articles for fucking Scholastic magazine?) but this fucking loser really has written for Scholastic and thinks he's an actual "writer". I mean, Junot Diaz is the fucking laughting stock of whatever literary world that's left, and there is pretty much no literary world left. This world is fucking lost and pathetic

>>15909734
i think i don't wanna read 900 pages about tennis

>>15909894
I want you to say that to all the little Dominican children whose eyes light up at the Scholastic book fair, you fucking Coño.

>Threw a coffee table at a woman
King
>Raped a 17 year old while on tour
17 is legal
>Stalked a 5 year old child
Five year olds are fags
>Pushed woman from a moving car
Lol actually hilarious
>Threatened to kill a guy
Who hasn't?
>Why do literary people still stan him?
Because he's one if the greatest writers of the 20th century, and he didn't come close to reaching his potential.
>stan
Go back to Twitter you wannabe bug person

>>15909909
Hi Junot

>>15909915
It's great for those children and I love all of them. It's still not literature

>>15909917
You are speaking the truth!

>>15909917
>King
>Five year olds are fags
>Lol actually hilarious

opinion discarded, edgy 13 year old

>>15909953
Opinion revalidated and totally accepted in this first of its kind post against the loser who loves big titty jap whores

Ummmmm... who is this fuckig Junot loser?

I'm like 66 percent sure Junot is not a real name and this is all some glitch in the simulation

>>15909953
i'd rather be a jap lover than an edgelord newfag.

>>15909745
Please fuck off back to Twitter.

>>15909917
This guy gets it

>>15909734
actually more based than i thought he was and i might actually read infinite jest the whole way through one of these days

>>15909745
so fucking based, holy fuck
this is why i love literature

>>15909917
i love you anon

>>15909734
God, he is hideous. Physiognomy is real. Who would read such a thing!

>>15909734
Did he really babysit Christopher Poole?

>>15909792
>After attempting to pay Karr back for destroying the table he threw at her, he demanded that she give him shards of the table to keep.
Now this is just sweet
>>15909792
>He had sex with his creative writing students and, while on book tour, a 17-year-old
Now this is just based and legal in the vast majority of places

>>15909745
Yeah but he did it ironically.

>>15909734
Bit of a tryhard, probably insufferable to have known irl, even if he wasn't being an angsty fag and throwing shit about. As an aside: I can't imagine anybody being actually intimidated by this sheltered, upper middle class dweeb; if he busted in your crib with a gat, wouldn't you just laugh?

>>15909734
seems like a fucking dork.

Did anyone ever just rip that stupid thing off his head? Because that's all I want to do when I see his pics.

His non-fiction is good and is really underrated. His fiction is awful and I don't get why it's so highly rated.

What's the story regarding this guy's suicide?
