Odd coincidence. I saw these on the shelf today when I was at the library looking for one of John Muir's books. First time I've ever seen them and I'd never heard about them before. What's so good about them?

>>20352537
Why? We don’t read.

>>20352537
i'd read it if there wasn't a naked girl on the cover

>>20352537
Do women unironically read while laying naked on their beds?

>>20352553

Yeah that comes across as degenerate and the equivalent of clickbait on a cover

>>20352556
Why not?
But keep in mind this is a horny artist using his hooker models to make porn money off of horny rich bastards.

the one on the right is insanely hot

>>20352551
it's 1) a great and well-researched resource, 2) an intriguing view of the novel as an art form and 3) extremely diverse, which is cool if you've only been into anglo/euro lit before, plus you're also gonna get enough 'recs' for a lifetime outta these. but not in a boring "start with the x" roadmap kinda way

faggots

>>20352568
I feel like there's plenty of potential to wax poetic and/or philosophical about the fact that some of the most widely acclaimed works of art in the western tradition used cheap hookers from the streets as models, despite the impression of dignified and elevated sense of femininity such works seem to give off with their aura of beauty and grace.

>>20352582
It sounds interesting but I'd rather just read novels.

>>20352592
Hookers of those times probably had less mileage on them than sluts of today. They do it for free.

Where did all the cheap hookers go?

>>20352614
go be an incel somewhere else

>>20352592
You'd like Bataille

>>20352617
Be quiet, stupid.

>>20352592
Could poetry spotlight the exploitation of it all?
And for those who wished to fix their exploited circumstances. Demonized to this day.
This day, the over sexualization of women is now blamed on the radical feminism and not the horny artists and their horny middle class patrons.

>>20352625
No, he’s right. You’re an idiot incel who thinks of his deprived cock 24/7 and we can’t take it anymore. Go out.

>>20352641
Stop whining!

>>20352617
The psychological trauma modern sluts inflict on themselves is akin to being raped by an invading army in wartime. Really think about this. Are the effects, such as on their future relationship success, reproductive health, dignity, sense of self worth and so on, really that much worse on account of being gang raped by the Red Army at the close of WW2 than by getting pumped and dumped 100 times in college? It's more comparable than you want to believe.

>>20352645
That’s basically what I just said to him/you

>>20352650
sir this is a thread about steven moore's the novel: an alternate history. again, i implore you to >>20352617

>>20352651
I also made a post not about the nudes you posted to get replies, and you didn't reply to that, so I think you have some self reflection to do.

>>20352659
I am not the OP, stranger.
We don’t need idiot incels commenting here.

>>20352702
You aren't contributing anything and you're a boring faggot.

>>20352537
source for the painting on the right

>>20352702
Incels aren't idiots, incels are the contemporary Bazarovs and Underground Men who will accomplish great things with their tragic pathos.

>>20352537
Why? A history about novels? What's interesting about that?

>>20353658
They’re idiots by nature. If anyone of them might be good at anything, it’s in spite of their awkwardness

>>20352553
>mfw no naked hot girl reader

>>20352650
>raped by the Red Army
Didn't happen

>>20353893
Most men are incels. If you didn't have sex today it was most likely involuntary.

>>20353893
>They’re idiots by nature.
How?

>>20352537
Wouldn’t matter in the slightest. No one here reads.

>>20353667
what’s not interesting about it?

>>20354946
It's not interesting the same way a book about the history of the garbage can is not interesting.

>>20354976
>comparing novels to garbage cans
only on /lit/

>>20354993
Are you the op? Why don't you tell us why you find it so interesting?

>>20352592
I really likes Jack kerouac's tristessa for this. Any other books with a similar feel?

>>20354038
He just has a stick up his ass. I don't know why, since he has tons of sex.

Confirms my suspicions that fictionfags are primarily narcissistic women. Going to read some dense theology now and maybe political theory later.

>>20352553
I think it adequately captures the inherent effeminate degeneracy of all fiction

>>20355345
have sex

>doesn't read the book, just complains about the cover
this thread is full of women
