I don’t save pictures of men, but Mishima.

Where's my cocaine?

>>18537683
Shut your orifice
Oh looks like a Fr*udian slip doesn't it

Didn't read just looked at the man with the pipe

I have never seen photos of the human participant authors of the Holy Bible, yet they are the coolest by incredible margins by far regardless of appearances.

>>18538409
I got some I've seen
I got a lot in my folder on a hard drive some where

>>18537647
I don't know anything about Camus but this photo of him really pisses me off and I've come to hate him on this sole basis.

>>18538806
Fair enough. He is good though, my favorite of his is the fall

IS THAT A BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH OF A FRENCH MAN SMOKING?

So C00L!

Everyone thinks of cool (pic) Kerouac and doesn't realize that barely coherent drunken midwittery was the logical outcome of it:

Seriously, at this point his (false) image is more meaningful than anything he and his pedo/drug-addicted friends wrote (excluding some Burroughs). Just do a google image search of "Jack Kerouac."

>>18537655
Shit take. Mishima is a writer who just happened to have lived a life as interesting as his novels are great. (Both are worth looking into in their own right). Even though the last image he presented to the world is (pic), his actual body of work can stand on its own. Camus smoked cigs with a popped collar, Kerouac flexed his biceps and tried to look distant/brooding...Mishima cut his guts out and had a friend cut off his head.

Thanks for your post Kevin

>>18537647
Camus unironically looks cool? Seriously? He is a middle age man smoking some random shit using a jacket what is cool in that?

>>18540482
That he was good looking, that's all

>>18540338
Yes, I mean, he is definitely the kind of person that is difficult to ignore. I don't think that suiciding and leaving a family behind is cool, but he definitely draws a lot of attention with his life story.

>>18540495
KEK no. If he is good looking, then I'm good looking. He is not fugly, but definitely wouldn't make it as a model or some other shit.

>>18540512
You are good looking then anon.
Camus was a handsome man, you don't need to be a cute twink to be good looking.

>I don't think that suiciding and leaving a family behind is cool
It's more complex than that though. (Personally, I think it was a selfish act by a deluded man...but I don't think it was an empty gesture for the sake of itself; you can attribute it to him ideologically indoctrinating himself (self-radicalization) and being overly romantic...but his actions were the result of living up to a highly developed personal ethos). I doubt any of our deaths will lead to discussions between strangers on another continent.

Mine will. Mine must.

>>18541964
If you said that on /pol I'd be afraid.

>>18540469
Why is his head so thin?

>>18537655
Take that back. Mishima was a talented writer. Read his work beyond Confessions some time.

>>18537695
i've read too much chomsky

>>18537647
bruh hemingway and freud are so not that stuff i mean one's a old leather and another's a bald mafia boss right?

>>18537647
While he does look cool as hell I also rate him because The Myth of Sisyphus was one of the factors that kept me from spiraling into depression at a key point in life so there’s that.

>>18540157
his image or way of life is part of the art

>>18543814
>barely coherent drunken midwittery was the logical outcome
LARPing free-spiritedness in the 50s and 60s.
Fucking lame. Kerouac was a pathetic drunk who hung out with pedos. He died because he got his ass kicked at a bar for running his mouth. If you think that's an artistic lifestyle you're a pseud...go join NAMBLA and tell them it's because you think the beats are awesome and you want to be like Ginsberg.

haven't said he's a role-model or anything. my statement is true, as he himself thought of life as part of his art. there's a line in On The Road about how he likes people who burn like flames under the stars and all that jazzamatazz. he's no Picasso or Lennon or Hemingway, no, if that was what you were getting at, anon son.

Also plath, no one would care about Plath if she was rich evans.

>>18537647
true

The point of the thread is people that are well known because of their image and not because of the quality of their artistic output. You're literally proving my point by attributing Keuroac's importance to what he represents instead of what he produced.

However, even his (cliche of an) image is a facade. It's attractive to midwits who want to LARP a rough and tumble boho lifestyle when, in reality, Kerouac was just a drunk pretentious pseud who hung around with pederasts and drug addicts. In the end, he died because he LARPed at the wrong bar, ran his mouth, and got his ass kicked. Hardly the depth of wasted potential the beats tried to represent--copying the lost generation while conflating hedonistic pursuits with romanticism and confusing being selfishly pathetic with freedom and tragedy.

Burroughs is the only member of the beats worth reading.

>>18537647
Good thread. A lot of people seem to be easily impressed by the austere appearance of Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Hegel and other similar charlatans.

>>18537647
Stirner

>>18545800
Considering the only image of him is a caricature drawn by someone who hated him...that's pseud as fuck. Midwit.
