Has anyone here read this book? Seems like a postmodern kino.

i read it, and if you read you will realise that when Q said "read Taipeir instead, that's a masterpiece" he was being sarcastic. Taipei is "oh, look how cool am i doing all this synthetic drugs and talking artsy to my snobby friends while my narrator spams in the dialogue markers "asked accusatorily".

Baby Alex is basically: "yo, have you heard on how we're a fucked? well, this is a list on how me and my friends fucked up; yup, we did all of these things which 50 years ago woulda puts on jail or make us do an hero; but we did this things; that's what the machine demands from us".

If you read baby alex you'll know why he went crazy, why he's less jolly; (spolier alert: [not due to his receeding hairline] you'll realise why he said "i fucked up".

He did in fact fucked up, really really bad. If i were him i couldn't sleep for a good amount of years.

anyway, anyhow; if you liked the beat generation, you'll like this book; and if you could endured the incessant amounts of adverbs and adjectives which bloated Taipei, you will read baby alex like you drink a cup of tea.

it's part of the narrative... if i tell you i will take a huge emotional impact off... but yeah, this tears are sincere. Do you see how in /pol/ we joke about the degeneracy of the modern world like if it was something that only happens to the "libtards"... sometimes that hell knock at your door; and you realise it isn't hell but part of reality... and that's when the void hits. No divine punishment, no righteous fury... just wake up and go on with your life.

I wrote a letter to him back in early '19 when the channel was still small. His reply made me doubt him, really. I couldn' t tell if he was being honest or memeing half the time.
