Joyce and Hemingway would get shitfaced together
IIRC Joyce would get into fights and would have Hemingway step in for him.

Nobody would get on with James Joyce. He was an elitst fuck.

You seen 'Midnight in Paris' yet?

Anaïs Nin and Henry Miller

Oh wait!

Edgar Allen Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle, the inventors of detective fiction, solving mysteries together.
It would be amazing.

Joyce wasn't even in it. In the opening scene of Hugo, though, he's eating lunch with Dali.

>>2257968
yes.

i was incredibly saddened by the missed Joyce jokes.

>>2257968
Proust paid for his cab fair home after meeting him.

>>2257992
To get rid of that Irish cunt as fast as he could.

>>2257999
Yep. Joyce was a hanger on, just went in the cab to another party without anyone inviting him.

Murakami so we could talk about erections and ears all day.

Generic answer, but I wouldn't mind chillin' with Vonnegut.

>>2258061
And what famous author are you?

Inb4 Tao Lin; you're not famous

actually IRL Joyce and Beckett were BFFs

>>2258061
vonnegut would be great.
I bet he'd let you crash on his couch after you got too drunk.

Easy one here.

>>2258062
Ah, fuck me. Read the thread topic wrong. :(

>>2258111
Exactly! And draw doodles and say nice things.

Anais Nin and Patricia Highsmith

>mfw

Sylvia Plath, anais inn for a three way with me and Ann coulter is our gimp.

>Anais Nin

More like Anais HNNNGGGGGG.

Thomas Pynchon and Cormac McCarthy.

I don't know who anais nin is. Was she a nymphomaniac or something? Or are people being "ironic"? Was she like super depressed and would be a real drag and not a bro or a sis or whatever?

>>2258209
She was the [?] first mainstream female writer of erotica. Interesting because she pre-dates the feminist movement but is often cited as an early example, which she disagreed with.

Also crazy hot.

Hemingway and Joyce traded barbs in public, but I reckon they would have had tea regularly.

>>2257957
>mfw when i read Joyces love letters and discovers that he likes scat

>>2258243

>>2258243
My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora's fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

that's deep

>>2258282
That's what she said over the pleasant strains of her anal sphincter clapping

Joyce was pretty perverted.

Proust was a raging homosexual. Masturbated all the time. Even got caught once by his dad and his dad gave him money to go to a brothel to "relieve" himself. He went. Broke something accidentally beforehand. Came back home and asked for more money. There was some claim that he would go to male brothels and fap to rats.

Probably nothing compared to the weird shit degenerates on /lit/ fap to every day.

IRL Joyce and Hemmingway were bffs, Joyce and Beckett were bffs

also Ezra Pound was really disillusioned when he first met Beckett, seeing him as just one of a number of sycophants hanging around Joyce, so when he heard he was a writer he said, 'oh, are you writing a divine comedy?' (probs reference to ulysses, reworking classic text etc.)

but then later in life, once he was realeased from the mental hospital and returned to europe, he met beckett again, didn't remember the incident, and they became super awesome bros

the end

requesting more anecdotes from Joyce's life and those around him

>>2258442

I seem to remember that T.E. Hulme, in the trenches during WWI, went to the toilet briefly and when he came back his entire company was dead from a massive shelling.

It might have been Wyndham Lewis though, I forget. It's mentioned in one of Pound's early Cantos anyway.

Hugh Kenner's 'The Pound Era' has a lot of these anecdotes about modernist writers if you're interested.

>>2258461

Though Joyce is the one about whom Kenner says "it seems we know the most about him, when actually we know the least".

Then he mentions how something like the hatred of authority and small-minded Dublin university students and teachers etc. in Portrait of the Artist was kind of a conceit, because as interviews with Joyce's former classmates have showed, all his crazy book learning was actually provided by the uni courses, and he actually got hold of the extra stuff like Ibsen from the university library...

>that feel when you will never have coffee and cigarettes and talk about literature/farts with James Joyce

>>2258474
After reading his love letters, i really wouldnt want to. hes a weird mother fucker

>>2258481
this is 4chan, don't try to imply that you're not a weird motherfucker either

I feel like conversations between Joyce and Beckett would consist mainly of Joyce being really annoying and talking non-stop and Beckett being silent.

Jack Kerouac and T.S. Eliot

Bukowski and Henry Miller with a nice supply of booze would be fun. They're both maniacs in their own way but when Buk would get all weepy Miller would bring him back up again with his 'I'm a fucking meteor' type of weird happiness and they would both fuck tons of bitches indiscriminately and destroy the world laughing.

Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg.
Wonder how long it would take before they started sucking eachother off.

>>2258592
I don't think Whitman ever had sex. Died a virgin, methinks.

Bukowski hated hanging with writers. Once he passed will Burroughs without saying hi.>>2258572

>>2258550
Why would Eliot waste his time?

Cervantes, Rabelais and Joyce. Free drinks.

>>2258596
Are you trolling? Whitman wrote a diary wherein he described fucking all kinds of young, black workers.

I love how a writer's deep personal shit would get out, the kind of shit that's not supposed to be for public eyes, and people will go all apeshit (hmm, a lot of "shit" seems to be flowing naturally from my keyboard since I'm implicitly referring to Joyce...I digress)....but who the fuck doesn't have weird skeletons in their closet?

The artist should be analyzed by what they put out for us to see, not what weird shit we dig up about them after the fact...
