White Teeth is DFW fanfiction

Eggers is just a dfw fanboy

>>6705524

I really don't see the connection. Smith sounds like the typical Oxbridge brats that dominate British literature.

>>6705560
They really look like eachother

>>6705599
They are each other.
>this DFW-tier rationalization

>>6705594
Zadie and DWF were friends and she's written, quite well, about the direct influence of DFW...

Joshua Cohen. I always laugh when I see a pic of that nerd.

>>6705472
Tao Lin though not in a good way.

>>6705506
Please don't besmirch DFW with associations like that.

>>6705652
Is that quote real?

>>6705675
but that one certainly isn't?
the first one isn't

>>6705652
Alas, poor DFW! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow
of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath
borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how
abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at
it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that.

Man.
Why does John Green have to look like such a cunt?

>>6705675
Anyone else read this and subvocalize as DFW? It hurts.

>>6705903
>read first 5 words with subvocalization to it
>realize which quote it is
>read the rest for the sake of my own amusement, w/o it[vocalization] because I'm now aware which goddamn quote1 it is

1. That infamous quote most likely originally coming from John Green(a)

(a). Huge hack, fan of cancer, probably a pedo, also according to >>6705867 he looks like a cunt

>>6705912
(...)cunt.(b)

(b). for unknown reasons.

>>6705903

Yes.

>>6705912
I knew who the quotation was actually from, I was just trying to point out that you can subvocalize it as DFW anyways.

>>6705560
>>6705605
This is actually true, he was directly inspired by DFW but thats also like comparing Nickleback to Nirvana

>asking /lit/ about contemporary fiction

they only know meme authors

>>6705932
oh.

I guess you can.

>>6705682
So is /lit/ the Hamlet to DFW's Yorick?

>>6707501
Yes

Von Dorf

Wait.. so was Madam Psychosis a pun for Metempsychosis?

George Saunders.

>>6707650
most likely

>>6705867
He really does doesn't he

"I got really upset when I found out my current wife had only sucked two or three black dicks. I mean, she hadn't even blown a busload of migrant workers or a laundromat of sweaty Laotians! How am I supposed to kiss my wife goodnight when I know I'm not tasting the full bouquet of interracial semen?" - John Green

>>6707851
And with such ease.

>>6707849
>dfw when the meme trilogy is more of an actual trilogy than one would assume it is.

>>6705675
someone got john green'd

>>6707650

Yes.

>>6707650
Because the acid on her face, man, was like a trip, man, like a trip you can't come down from, y'know?

Like, like Hendrix with his bandana full of acid and the acid sweat drippin in his eyes, man. Y'know?

It's allllll connected, bro.
