Not a single literature thread and the spammers can't even be funny. You faggots should be permabanned.

Am I the only person who has actually read the Learned Disguise? It's only $5 on Barnes and Noble

>>18137317
How many pages is it? Why don't you do god's work and release it as a pdf for us, anon?

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-learned-disguise-r-c-waldun/1132062299

>>18137332
I don't know how to get the books out of Nook :(

>>18137295

>>18137343
Can you just connect it to your computer and drag and drop files?

The ending of the Learned Disguise is that the main character, Arthur (get it? the main character is an author) writes his first name, which he names the Learned Disguise. Everyone applauds his novel for the genius that it is

>>18137396
also get it? The main character writes like Thoreau, the man famous for writing essays while staying at Walden Pond, and Robin Wu's penname is Waldun

>>18137396
>that pic rel
how can a man be so cringe? kek jesus

>>18137365
There's nothing under the Barnes and Noble folder on my desktop. I think the book files are "embedded" into the Nook app.

>>18137396
This can't be real

>>18137396
I cried

>>18137396
>Sir, wow. I love your work. Well, imagine, being a writer, sir! You Write like Thoreau, sir!

>>18137396
There's no way this is real

>>18137396
bruh...

>>18137396
This is from somewhere else right?

>>18137396
You wrote this to shitpost no way he actually wrote something so cringe

>>18137396
Wonderful

>>18137452
>>18137457
>tfw it's real

>>18137396

This is real goddammit. Had to use the free trial on some website to read it but it's there, near the end.

>>18137396
kino...

>>18137396
is this taken from wattp*d

But RC Waldun/Arthur Forrester is a generous protagonist. Now that he is a bona fide arthor, he teaches his grateful sidekick Timor how to write

>>18137396
Excited about L'Academie.

>>18137498
This has to be satire

>>18137498
>Mister Forrest

>>18137498

Man I wish Temur wouldnt have died 1405, china had it coming

>>18137498
>incorrect comma usage in the first sentence
NGMI

>>18137511
It gave me South Park vibes

>>18137498
waldun.... wow.... i... i can't believe how vivid these images are! i... i want to read l'académie now!

>>18137295
So we got 2 cum pictures of Walboy, when is someone going to make the third?

>>18137498

Not only that, at the end he allows his new disciple to use the very typewriter he used to produce his masterpiece, all the while he's mumbling about doing it again, presumably high on ketamine.

>>18137498
>>18137396
He can't possibly dream of being a writter while writing like this, not even talking about prose, the pontuaction and formatting are absolutley horrendous and thats coming from another ESL. Genuinely a sour to the eyes

>>18137534

>>18137536

Did the guy deliver in the end?

>>18137537
>>18137498
>>18137396
bravo

>>18137537
how, generous, Arthur Forrest is! I cannot ... conceive ... I have no words ... what a precious gift ... I shall treasure, this typewriter, a means for writing for writers through the centuries ... forever

>>18137545
second guy did, dont know about the first guy who said he would try again.

>>18137537
>>18137498
>>18137396
Can someone PLEASE deliver a pdf of this book? I really want to read it now

>>18137561
That was not me in the other thread, I just cummed once and that was but, recently, I have this growing desire of doing again (and better) on me. I'd probably do it again soon but with no dubs requirement

>>18137536
Gimme a picture where he looks girly and I do it

>>18137537
Words of utmost magnificence, and of feelings frank! Oh wow... sir, this, is amazing!

>>18137498
wtf is a timur and why does the character with an exotic name address "Tim" as "Mister"

>>18137566

As far as I can tell it's not available as a pdf. The only digital version is on bookmate, which doesn't allow downloads.

>>18137590
you have to do it on top of the other two to show dominance. its recursive.

>>18137537
As a fellow ESL his ESLness is overwhelming. Waldun’s editor for l’Académie will practically ghostwrite the book.

>sir

I am confused. Is he a chink or a pajeet?

Fucking Based. If based is cringe, fucking Honorable.

>>18137722
Its just 168 pages right? I'll make a free trial and screencap each page and turn it into a pdf when I have the free time

>>18137828
Alright. Thank for your service.

>>18137790

Found a way I think, I'm working on getting the epub for you animals. Just want everyone to promise that if it works, they won't jerk off more than three times a day while reading it.

>>18137841

Nevermind, just realized that it's short and I can copy from it. It'll be ready soon.

>>18137852
>>18137841
>>18137828
blessed

>>18137852

Also nevermind, can't copy more than a few sentences at once.

I'll tell you the entire plot of Waldun's stupid book

> Arthur Forrest is a talented writer
> no, talented isn’t the right word, it’s hard to describe how fucking smart and knowledge and eloquent and well-mannered and insightful and clever and refined and brilliant he is, but you’re reminded of it every page in learned disguise
> side characters are Mr. Morton, a retired literature teacher
> Gretel, Mr. Morton’s stupid but pretty niece
> Felix, generic guy who likes literature
> Timur, groveling sidekick who kisses Arthur’s ass all the time
> Arthur has been writing his first novel for five years but he never feels like it’s good enough
> he meets Veda, some hot chick
> he’s like Goethe’s Werther, he’s inspired by his love for her and he starts writing his novel for reals
> he, Felix, Gretel, and Tim spend 70% of the novel going to bookstores and cafes and namedropping famous authors and their books, giving Arthur more inspiration to write his book
> climax: Arthur finally finishes his novel, it’s called The Learned Disguise
> he tells Veda, but she dumps him, I think she found a richer, more handsome boyfriend
> however, his friends all read The Learned Disguise and it’s a great book, an instant classic, the pinnacle of the English language
> Arthur realizes that despite the loss of romantic love, he still has supportive friends and the confidence of knowing that he has finally completed his first, but not last, novel
> also Mr. Morton died and left Gretel a huge inheritance, so maybe in the sequel Arthur will marry her and they’ll be rich together
> the end

There, now you don't have to read it

>>18137852
Thank you si fucking much. B&N doesn't sell it in Canada.

>>18137396
Good show, oh jolly good show, sir!

>>18137875

shall we try the scripts, sir?

>>18137875
I'm screencapping everything. its prob going to be done in an hour or so if the other anon doesnt deliver it by then

>>18137885

I'm trying that now mister

>>18137878
>There, now you don't have to read it
What do you mean, I want to read it for the beautiful prose.

Wait wtf I just looked up his yt channel because of you fags, he seriously is comparing this dark academia bs with the renaissance ?

>>18137526
You're right, fucking embarassing lol. Looks like something a 10 year old would write

Sir, wow! You program like Alan Turning, sir. Well, imagine, being so based, sir

>>18137396
How did he do it bros? What's his secret?

>>18137295
Outside of /lit/ how well know is he?

>>18138180
rice cock waldun is a hit among teenage girls.

>>18138180

~180k subscribers on youtube, views usually in the tens of thousands with a few outliers. In youtube terms, not very well known.

>>18138180
He gets more pussy than all of /lit/

>>18138200
How many writers even come close to those youtube numbers?

Sir do the needful sir

>>18138210
He's a virgin and sex disgusts him.

>>18138212

Not many, fair enough, but most writers also don't bother with youtube channels. If we consider him a booktuber his channel is fairly big actually. Don't know how many read his book though.

At least he was able to finish a novel, most people here cannot get their manuscript published so hopefully L'academie isn't as bad. I've been reading The learned disguise for the past 20 minutes and while I can appreciate his passion for the craft, the little rhyme meter thing the faggot so tries to attempt to do is annoying as fuck. The book would be better if it wasn't trying so hard to be elegant, it's not. Just write normally next time pls thanks

>>18138249
How do you know? Pretty sure he fucks on a regular basis. Women love fluffy chinks

>>18138069
This is so sad

>>18138274
he isn't a modern DFW. Even if he drowned in teenage aussie pussy, he would do nothing. He is a passive Asian sissyboy. RC WALDUN is a SISSY BITCH.

>>18138274
He's gay.
Literally gay.
A faggot as in a homosexual.

>>18138274
He said it.

>>18138265
exactly. i'm reading it as well, there are parts were i'm thinking "hmm, this isn't too bad," but overall his style just comes across as very forced and clumsy, almost as if he recognizes the elements that make up good literature, but he doesn't understand how to properly fit them together, so you end up with strange phrases that don't really mean anything like "memories fond have always elicited nostalgic wonders under his witty warmth"

>>18138283
No of course he's not DFW. DFW was a talented writer but what's that got to do with this? Wallace wasn't a chink and women love sissies, especially slightly chubby 6 or 7 women. Maybe not 10/10 whores but Waldun definitely fucks

>>18138265
>self published

Is he 'too read' for his age? I feel like many literary works require some life experience in addition to pure intellectual ability to absorb the medium properly. Does this make sense? I just wonder if he really can understand some concept properly as some preppy upper class(?) privileged kid.

>>18138294
Yeah, because he's ESL. If any of us tried writing in Chinese, our words would be awkward too

>>18138307
That's fucking stupid.

>>18138265
>most people here cannot get their manuscript published
neither could he lmao

>>18138304
Depends of what he reads

>>18138307
Why would anyone try writing in chink, though?

>>18138304
He's underread, more like.

>>18138337
in an alternative universe where all the great authors were Asian and people wanted to live like the characters in Midnight in Shanghai and dark academia clothing was brown kimonos and shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAfR8omt-CY

>>18138307
the difference is i don't speak chinese at all and he's fluent in english. grammar mistakes are one thing and easily forgivable, but there's a difference between getting the verb agreement wrong and writing sickeningly-purple prose

Proficient. You can't be fluent if you sound retarded.

>>18138069

>>18137878
>prior to meeting veda, i was but a stern and callous shell
Groan. He repeatedly forces this academic fart sniffing tone, but the words are so simple and the ideas so easy to understand. If you're gonna write like that it needs to serve some kind of sophistication that normal speak can't hit on. what an asshole

>>18138440
This shit slaps lmao

Were guys like Joyce etc. so ridiculed like him, atleast on here ? I feel like I am reading the work of someone who will be remembered as one of the literary greats down the line, but people here just mock him.

>>18138462
Fuck off Waldun you purple prose sucks

>>18138462
waldun all that u believe is a perfunctory stasis chamber maintained by illiterate & blind wardens of ur own invention

>>18137295
Still waiting on that cum triute

>>18138462
Joyce was actually published in journals and magazines in his youth.

>>18138524
holy BASED waldun is on the path of literary immortality

>>18138524
Well waldun has a big important youtube channel, sounds like more people already heard/read of him than chumps like all those old farts.

>>18137396
Quality equivalent of deviantart sonic fetishism, he will also only get worse with practice.

>>18138522
>>18137615

>>18138473
calling his prose purple is an insult to the color

>>18138399
>I feel kinda bad for him, not gonna lie

I'm literally laughing at the screen following this thread, but I truly hope that he never sees this. No matter the actual quality of his output, it is clear that he has dedicated a lot of time to his novel and Youtube channel. Publishing it for everyone to read and then broadcasting its existence out in the ether is quite brave and I am not sure if I could do it myself. If I knew that /lit/ would be ripping me a new one and upload tribute photos of myself I would of course never do it.

>>18138537
god forbid the day when i wake up as a supercentenarian and find, not only multiple essays about the literary genius of Waldun, but also scholars whose entire careers are based on the study of Waldun's works

>>18138265
Firstly self published work doesn't count. Self published is by definition not good enough.
Secondly quite a few people on /lit/ have had success getting published with real publishers although i don't think anyone here has made it big yet.

>>18138561
on that day you can safely say that literature is dead.

Guys, am I looking at a potential Katie's Classic Books and Stitches 2.0 here?

>>18137396
>Yeah, Sir! Imagine! Using card, to redeem? To do the needful?

>>18138593
How do I contact him?
Gonna send the cum tributes

>>18139217
Waldun said that he paid $400? for an editor on fiverr, but I get the feeling that it was one of those pajeet scammers because they did a bad job of editing

>>18139217
kek

>>18138265
>being published is better than not being published
Not if your book is a reflection of zoomer brain processes.

>>18139330
I'm published in 4chan's /lit/ :D

>>18139316
If he can spare $400 on an editor who barely did his job, why not comission a propert art for the cover of his book? He said in the video that he was working with a designer on the cover and the formatting but he just used one of those vector websiters for the covers and hes going to use it again for his next book, A blank cover with the title looks bettert than that

>>18139365
I don't know his thought process, but he already has such a large inbuilt audience, a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers, all of who fawn over him. Then after they were dazzled by the book, he'd get more sales by word of mouth

>>18139388
*but maybe he thought he already has such

>>18139316
>payed an editor on fiverr
>expected actual competence

>>18139388
Might’ve worked if he put in effort and created even a semi-decent book

>>18139388
>YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers
which means nothing since he tried to memory hole the book by pulling it off amazon and deleting his video and I don't think his audience is stupid enough to think ''A Learned Disguise'' is a good novel. Waldun's prose is absolutely boring and the subject of his novels won't captivate an audience that mainly reads YA while seeming banal to people who actually read 'adult' books. The 'sophisticated' language he uses is dreadful and annoying and it seems to try to masquerade very simple concepts as deep and tought provoking. To put it short, even if Waldun has an audience, this book does not, Besides us, /lit/ retards ofc

Why is this still up?

>>18139388
None of this happened.

>>18139454
Sorry anon, I was gangbanging yor mam with 8 others somalian niggers and I forgot to report this thread to the jannies. You should call them as yo mama called my name when she was being dp by a black gorilla dumb uneducated nigger

>>18139465
good morning american friend!

>>18139454
We are discussing the work of a contemporary author on the literature board.
What is so strange about it?

>>18139449
To be fair, Learned Disguise is an ode to Sorrows of Young Werther. It's the same plot except instead of Werther killing himself, it's Arthur writing a book and realizing that books and friends are more important than some thot

I almost feel bad now for digging up his book. At some point he clearly understood that it was bad and tried burying it. What if he pulls his head out of his ass at some point and learns to write better? He'll have to live with this book haunting him.

Part of me wants to say that if that happens, he should owe up to it and admit that his early work was bad as he now recognizes it, but I also sympathize with him. I'm sure as hell glad that my earliest writings are well and truly buried.

Anyway, don't read it, not worth it.

>>18139692
I think the cum tributes have a better chance of haunting him than his old writing

>>18139692
have you seen Bram Stoker's non-Dracula books? No, you haven't, because they're shit. But you didn't see Bram trying to bury his other works

>tfw waldun is more accomplished than everyone itt
>tfw waldun has a bigger following than anyone here will ever have
>tfw waldun actually got published

>>18139790
That’s because I’m not a writer

>>18139790
>tfw waldun actually got published
By himself. Everyone ITT can do that too.

>tfw this guy gets more pussy than the entirety of /lit/

>>18139790
>tfw waldun is more accomplished than everyone itt
Depends on what you identify as being 'accomplished'. Being a youtuber isn't being accomplished for some.
>tfw waldun has a bigger following than anyone here will ever have
True
>tfw waldun actually got published
Self-published*

>>18139790
implying having a bigger audience and having a completed work in any way makes him a good writer. one good paragraph possesses more value than his entire 160 page "novel"

>>18139835
and even many haven't self-published

>>18139835

He said so himself.

>>18139904

Where? I'm curious now.

>>18139916
first google result for rc waldun + celibate

>>18139981

Can't believe I read that... So he plans to stay celibate and had one bad date. Celibacy will last until the first time he meets someone he's actually attracted to.

>>18140093
I wonder if the one bad date became Veda in Learned Disguise?

>>18139981
He went back on it recently
Probably found some good puss

>>18139981
So when is the Waldun bubble bursting? He can't possibly LARP dark academia forever. Women are rejecting him because his fake aesthete persona is obvious and grating.

He would look good in a dress ngl

>>18140108
Nice try, Waldong.

>>18140108
>>18140175
once on q&a with /lit/, he said that despite the mockery of Learned Disguise, he had to keep his youtube channel because it was his only way of getting a gf. it looks like it worked

I just figured out why ... He capitalizes his ... Words after ellipses.

the poor ESL was just following the rules that his processor set for him

Finally;.. I have become... The Learned Disguise

Let's brainstorm the potential plot of L'Académie

The main character has to be Arthur again, but this time, he meets two new friends, Ray and Raiden. Arthur is a brilliant academic, nose to the books, but Ray and Raiden show him that experiencing the outside world is even better than reading about it. Together, the trio explore the landmarks, architecture, cultural events, and people that make life so interesting and worth living.

What is the conflict here? Maybe Arthur losing his sense of self?

>>18137537
Why is the young man wearing the narrators sweater and spectacles?

His corpus is quite big I hear

>>18140601
hahaha oh god
>>18140660
nah, if he was a filipino I can see this happening. He is not brown enough, just chinky.
>>18140679
Arthur is a closed faggot

>>18140610
To V.M.

>>18140679
It’s a dystopian story about a school in the future where they teach in a wrong way.

>>18140679
Or maybe something like Narnia. The trio discover a portal to heaven, where all the great dead artists of the past live. Speare, Shelly, Homeboy, Van Gohg, and the trio learn from them. 50 years later, they're masters of their craft. But then, the portal teleports them back into modern day. It'll be like Flowers for Algernon, as they stay in the modern world, they slowly lose the ability to write good and shieet.

>>18140717
thats just normal schools though

Well yes, of course. It’s allegorical.

how did he do it?

Waldun, I know you are here mate. Just answer this question, we need to know. Do you fuck or nah?

>>18140768

Do you think this is like...... THOREAU'S WALDEN POND? as in his namesake, WALDUN. it's so deep

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIiCWzEboh0
He learned the lesson, no need to bully him

Here's what I don't understand. Look at his blog. Everything looks like standard English, good formatting

https://rcwaldun.com/blog/youre-in-trouble

So why was Learned Disguise written in Chinglish, esl grammar and punctuation, and piss poor formatting?

>>18137396
Timur gives off the vibe of a small, energetic foreign man whose small foreign brain is embiggened by RC's enlightened prose.

Some astounding character work here.

RC Waldun threads are fucking amazing

The kid is a cringe farm. Always giving us material lol

>>18137396
How can he forge his entire identity around being ‘a guy who reads’ yet still insert commas into the stupidest places?

apparently he wrote it in high school

>>18140875
interesting.

>>18141547
Was he still in high school in 2019? he claims that he wrote the entire book in a fever rush in less than week
>>18138069

Here is a video where RCW says the book publication date is June 30, 2019
announcement starts at 11:30
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpuDIF6YXaI

and this book review came out soon after the book was published
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBCQJ_4Pu4U

>>18141594
god that's sad, he was planning a series of videos discussing all the themes, allusions, symbolism of his book, like some sort of Yale online lecture series

It was written in high school. His grammar is terrible by even that standard, but in terms of content I'm sure it is no less cringe than what most of us were writing at that age.

I kind of envy him now, im still looking for a job after getting fired bc of covid. Waldun, you won.

>>18138561
Never gonna happen.

>>18141623
meanwhile, Waldun is the trust fund kid of rich Chinese officials, he gets a monthly allowance equal to many people's yearly salaries. He only got a job at the bookstore to feel like a dark academian, and when he no longer felt like a writer, he quit and went on a roadtrip and took pictures of poor people

This'll be the 4th or so time ive asked, but i live in australia. I'm planning to kms and i want to take waldun with me. How do i find out where he lives in melbourne?

>>18141658
You mean in Minecraft of course?

>>18141658
I don't condone doing anything illegal or hurtful to him but witnessing your suicide would make him a better writer

why does /lit/ keep bullying this rando kid

>>18141658
Put me in the screenshot kek

>>18137295

Yes, I'm done now. I was never going to become the next Faulkner, the next Nabokov or the next Joyce, but I hid behind the language barrier to avoid criticism for months, maintaining an illusion that was fun to live in while it lasted. I had thought my country's education system was topmost in the world, but this turned out to be utter bollocks. A child of 18, a person ten years my junior, has a greater vocabulary than I, who had to look up the word “topiary”, and no one likes the expression theory of art anymore, I am likened to a long lost dinosaur.
This will be my final post on /lit/. I've been humiliated and exposed as a fraud. My writing is pretentious, infantile, banal drivel. My observations are dull, my language grade school level. My tenses are mixed up; I use colloquialisms, ellipses and onomatopoeia. I mix tired and trite idioms together to obfuscate their unoriginality with a veneer of irony; I have continued to recite ornate Jewish chimpanzee parables with diminishing returns. The parable seemed very clearly to me to be asking me whether or not the now-grown-adult can choose. I say yes, of course, but that's not my issue.
I was never cut out for writing. I began writing my "book" on January 6th. Since then I've produced 82 thousand words for it. These words are a tide of garbage without value, without insight, without form. The themes of time, space, infinity, memory and pointless duelling are not present in my work. It was never real writing, it was anime and weebshit. Look how many words I wrote, because apparently literature is bodybuilding and just aimlessly typing will somehow improve my writing. I don't even know what genre it is that I'm writing. Is it autofiction? A comedy? A picaresque?
Regardless, I have failed. I have put down my pen. Never again will my fingers click-clack across the keyboard. No more outlines, no more characters. Goodbye

>>18141966
Good. Now go back to science. There is actual worth in there. Your first science videos were nice.

>>18141966
Learning some goddamned humility is a good step.
Now stop being such an all-or-nothing, bipolar little fag and keep writing. Leave the delusions of grandeur and poserism behind.

Did he just learn the word 'timorous' and then go and name the sidekick/bad metaphor for the reluctant writer within fucking Timur????

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

>>18142625
No, the ingratiating sidekick Timur is clearly a reference to Temur, the ruler of the Temurid empire of central Asia and India, whose conquest and cruelty rival that of Genghis Khan's.
>>18137519

that is suicide tier bad writing. what is he thinking? can he not see how awful it is? how far up his own ass is this guy. read a page of greene or nabokov or ford and come back and tell me this isn't middle school tier. embarrassing that he's even popular at all

>>18137537
Waldenbros, I...-I kneel...

Why does he have an American accent? In't he from Melbourne?
>tfw live in the same city as him

>>18142776
This is what separates a good writer from a bad one.
A good writer knows when he writes shit. He burns it or rewrites it, and will not put it out there until it's good.
A bad writer does not even realize that his writing is shit.

>>18142817
Melbourne meetup when?

>>18137396
How do people like this dare to put their thoughts on paper? They should be in total terror. There is no hiding from being a sub average talent.

Fuck this is suicide fuel, bros. I am the same age as him and share a lot of his personal circumstances down to sharing some of his Han blood. The realisation that I could be shit at writing and still succeed by being good at marketing myself to retarded teenage girls makes me want to unironically shoot myself.
>An ESL writing a book in English
Does he think he's Joseph Conrad or something? Fuck!

>>18142873
I don't know, man. Laugh or be laughed at. That's our destiny. You're not really harbouring the dreams of writing, are you? There's no talent here. Or anywhere. It all was sucked up by the fall of last century.

Every sentence feels like it could be the last before the story turns into gay erotica.

>>18143364
I WISH I could have even a fraction of this man's complete lack of self-awareness. How this dickhead thinks he's qualified to give writing tips with prose like that baffles me. I would be way too embarrassed to show that to anyone let alone try to publish it without a pseudonym for all to see.

Yes, Timur. It is indeed, a cock you’re seeing.

love you lad, going to read it and spend my entire weekend pissed off

>>18143505
It's main character has a much more intimate relationship with Indian sidekick Timur than he does with the supposed love interest Veda. Arthur spends half the book with Timur, teaching him, calming his nerves, laughing at jokes. On the other hand, there are only 2 or 3 scenes with the Veda w*man and Arthur is too nervous to say much to her anyway. The book even ends with Timur becoming Arthur's writing heir apparent

How can he read all of the classics and still be such a shit writer?

>>18144160
he's enamored with the image and the pomp of "being a writer" but he has literally nothing to say that has any depth or originality whatsoever

WHY DOES THIS THREAD HAVE SO MANY REPLIES FUCK EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU

>>18144160
because he didn't read all of the classics. also he's not western.

>>18144160
he grew up rich and thinks being poor makes you authentic, this always leads to shitty writing

>>18144290
>tfw poor with interesting life experiences
>can't write for shit

FUCK

>>18144284

>>18144305
being a good writer is mostly just practice makes perfect, not in the malcom gladwell way but people can usually improve their skill for a few years if they work at it consistently

>>18144305
start with the basics. this guy doesn't even know how to use commas and can't... stop... abusing... ellipsis...

>>18144305
You already have the stuff that can be bought. Get into a creative writing class or read a book on the matter. It's not even hard.

>>18144380
can't*

This is the best thread on /lit/ at the moment.

Fun fact: he attempted to 'storm' the office of Text publishing and demand an audience with them to publish his shitty book. heard through the grapevine.

It would be amazing if all of this was a persona, a satire, but it’s probably not.
