Thoughts on Bret Easton Ellis?

Jay Mcinerney?

Catcher in the Rye for rich kids

Don't know about the other one

you are reading this post -- a post on the internet. you are reading that jay mcinerney wrote a book called bright lights big city that was apparently a big deal in the eighties. you learn that it was written in 2nd person, which even if it wasn't a gimmick could probably be put to better use than describing some yuppie shithead doing lines in reagan era new york. you now know about jay mcinerney.

Gee, who would have thought that a brief literary movement that perfectly encapsulated the style and mood of the 1980's urban twenty-something professional would have little appeal or relevance to kids born after 1990?

Read more Shakespeare instead of shit like Ellis, Tao and then maybe you'd get some respect beyond Hipster Runoff.

My point exactly. Plus HRO is equally mindless with headlines like "Zooey Deschanel jimmy-jangles a tambourine" and a general refusal to use the words "are" and "you."

>>1815889

also they're fucking posers. i lived in nyc at the same time that those two guys were at nyu and they were definitely not at any of the cool parties or shows in brooklyn or manhattan. fucking post-college wannabe hipsters. they can't even get being a douchebag right.

I know you're lurking, Tao. Come out of your shell. Get Megan to post some tits and I might buy a book or two. I can't promise I'll read them.
