This is spam

>>22565772
Why can’t you just be excited for something for a change, instead of re-reading dead French guys from the 1800s..

>>22565746
>book by le quirky whore about being random and quirky
why should i care? stop shilling this broad

I'm curious - is it you doing this, Honor, or the PR person she hired? I wonder what it's like having to 'work' on 4chan.

>>22565746
Why does Tyrant Schlock Press publish the most dysgenic looking people imaginable

>>22565920
Unrealistic modern beauty standards. Gabriel Smith looks like a 14th century French monarch.

>>22565925
Nah, just looks like a benzo whore

>>22565746
It will be dated upon arrival.

>>22565767
The name is a dead giveaway

>>22565746
I know this is a bait post but I'm genuinely excited. Levy was one of the best writers to come out of the New York Tyrant scene. If you haven't read her you're missing out on a major new voice.

>John was like, omg, no cap truly discombobulated after, like, doing some coke from some random guy in like a bowling alley (how nostalgic lol) and then we went to the loft and like talked books, art, and like bacchanal festivities

>>22566155
What a chronic lack of grass touching does to a nigga…

>>22566168
That’s a direct quote from her short stories, my friend

OP is the author spamming/shilling. Jannies started banning her other threads so keep reporting them for advertising.

>>22565746
Why do you write like that? Do you think the world needs another jaded sarcastic author, writing in first person present tense like a retard?

>virgins itt actually think Honor is posting on one of the slowest boards of 4chan for publicity

>>22565925
>14th century french monarch
>mutt face and features
Nice try.
>unrealistic modern beauty standards
>could be voted ugly unanimously by a jury made up by randos
Even nicer try.

>>22566552
In fairness, both publishers and, now more recently, meme authors have been known to shill on /lit/

>>22566155
experiments in style are always met with disdain from those who don't attempt to understand them
>>22566552
it's absolutely something she would do. she's a hyperonline zoomer. hi honor, love your stuff, excited for your book

>>22566804
No it just fails the most crucial metric of art criticism
>1. Does it have an identifiable stylistic purpose?
Yes
> 2. Does it accomplish this purpose?
Mostly
>2. Is this purpose worth accomplishing
FUCK NO

>>22565746

this lol
honor meet me in clandestino tonight

>>22566878
>Is this purpose worth accomplishing? FUCK NO
luckily for the rest of us, art doesn't have to follow what you think is and is not worth accomplishing

>>22566900
>the rest of us
you and honore yes

>>22566125
any writer to comes out of a "scene" can go fuck themselves. you should be embarassed you even know about such things, and even more embarassed that you're recommending them

>>22566155
this has to be bait. theres no way her writing is that bad.

Fake shilling to sow discontent is fun

the vibe shift is dead
all you clowns including tao lin and red scare are washed up

>>22565746
God forbid a lazy talentless wealthy chick born to the right ethnic group not have a free first try in publishing, music, or movies.

>>22565788
This is fucked up, I don't read that shit. I read dead Irish writers from the 1900s

>>22566911
>any writer that comes out of a "scene" can go fuck themselves
okay
>Dostoevsky, Kobzar, Shchedrin can go fuck themselves (Petrashevsky Circle)
>Dorothy Parker can go fuck herself (Algonquin Round Table)
>de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Camus can go fuck themselves (Les Deux Magots)
>Woolf, Forster, Strachey can go fuck themselves (Bloomsbury Group)
>Tolkien and Lewis can go fuck themselves (The Inklings)
>Hemingway, Pound, Joyce, Fitzgerald, Stein can go fuck themselves (Stratford-on-Odeon)
You should be embarrassed that you don't know your literary history.

>>22568059
>taking a shitpost meant to insult an honor levy shill literally
Gooby, I...

>>22568066
have no real opinions on levy. such ignorance regarding writers' circles should be corrected on the /lit/ board

>>22568073
you are slightly autistic, but have a very based knowledge of literary history
kudos nonironically

>>22566552
Girl, this board gets more attention than her podcast + twitter.

>>22568085
I know of her circle in NYC and they're exactly the type to post this stupid shit
it's embarrassing

>>22568066
> I-I was actially joking guys...
Sorry, but you got BTFO by the Levy-shill.
>>22568073
Nice defense, still not reading anything by a woman without a last name Brontë

>>22566911
>>22568059

honor you've been getting kinda chubby t bh imo

I know this is spam. But how can this possibly be seen as a huge literary event for Zoomers? Like why I should I give a fuck about this book?

>>22568176
>this possibly be seen as a huge literary event for Zoomers
it isn't. honor levy is a barely known figure even in nyc
>>22568176
>Like why I should I give a fuck about this book?
you shouldn't and it hasn't even been published yet

>>22568156
>meds
>>22568089
>I know of her circle in NYC
do tell
>>22568176
she's an interesting writer who was one of the last people to be picked up by this press in nyc called New York Tyrant that published more avant-garde type stuff before its founder died. I think tao lin was vaguely associated with it, but I can't super recall right now. remains to be seen if she's good or merely good for her age. has some great bona fides though, been published in some good places

>>22568186
Is the image supposed to be referring to the fact that you, Honor Levy, were not those posters? You're a fucking idiot, Honor
lurk moar

>>22568191
is honor levy in the room with us right now, anon?

>>22568229
>avoiding the question
what then is the image referring to, Honor, other than you, Honor Levy, were not those posters? Please, let me know.

>>22568238
and tell me, anon. does this "honor levy" follow you around during the day? do you hear her voice sometimes when you're alone?

>>22568242
>avoiding the question, again
Actually just answer the question, I'm curious? Not sure why you're getting triggered by it. Just want to know what (You) mean

>>22568248
>Not sure why you're getting triggered by it.
mhmm. and do you think this "honor levy" person leaves messages for you in advertisements, newspapers, imageboards, things of that sort?

>>22568255
Oh, I guess you can't explain why you posted pic related, and seem very sensitive about it. That's very sad, I guess? kek

>>22568258
interesting. does "honor levy," as you call her, ever communicate with you telepathically? as in, do you think she can hear your thoughts, or perhaps implant ideas in your head?

>>22565746
this is now a dubs thread
checkum

>>22568265
mhmm. you're chubby

>>22568238
TOPKEK

>>22568269
I see, I see. and does this "honor" woman often emerge as a face in a crowd? do you often see her face superimposed onto someone else's, as if projected?

>>22568284
fascinating. the force of the delusion makes you an interesting clinical case, anon. I'm afraid there's another patient I have to see on my rotation, but same time next week? I know you'll be here. I'll be seeing you.

>>22566552
I have a feeling it's the same people who are perpetually mad at New York and BAP and whatever, basically anyone and anything that gets attention. They spam threads of this book to get it 'banned'.

Frank Gardner is king of /lit/

>>22568176
Just read a bit of her work. It's not my thing, but I can see why people like her prose. Maybe I'll read it someday at the library or if it's really acclaimed. If you're there, Levy (99% youre not), best of luck. I hope the sales turn out pretty well

>>22568324
levy's fine for a zoomer but shilling on here is not
she should just do a timestamp if she really wants to get big
DIIV did this on mu and it got a lot of goodwill

>>22568344
This, timestamp on her sole

>thread almost dies
>dozens of new posts defending honor show up overnight
really makes you think

>>22568059
Every group you mentioned is not a “scene” like the Dime Twats

The tranny riding Honor’s jewish nepo dick has yet to provide a quote exhibiting her literary merit that is better than >>22566155

>>22565920
remember when gabriel was shilling his book here? I wonder if he stopped because the book doesn't come out until 2024 or if Penguin found out and made him stop.

I read a short form piece she did for Heavy Traffic. Instantly made me stop buying the magazine. She’s a terrible writer that uses internet irony to disguise a lack of talent and conviction in her work. Also wet brain is boring, a testament to why you shouldn’t do drugs and try to become a dimes square hanger-on

>>22565746
Not this shit again... We're not your audience, Honor, and/or whichever publisher lackey posted this faggotry again. Just fuck off already.

>honor is posting herself again

this is an advertisement thread.

How does it feel to be a nepo baby, honor? To be honest that's the main reason I'm not interested in your book. Your prose is mid and your life experiences are the same as every other author with rich parents, it's boring.

stop shilling you tubby kike

>>22565767
Every time

>>22571558
I mean the rich have produced some great writers but yeah bicoastal disaffected rich writers who were cool before they wrote anything decent don’t tend to be good. And then they advertise on 4chan because edgy losers are in

>>22572355
>they advertise
buy an ad
