in Confessions of a mask he seemed feminine as fuck

>>6760652
Yeah. I like his books and all, but sometimes I think he tried to hard to achieve manliness.

>implying crippling insecurity is considered manly

>>6760656
He made himself into a man.

Na, most people can't rock the samurai look so its rare enough that you most likely have no worries.

>>6760736
As long as you don't know any five foot tall japanese fellas, with a fetishistic obsession with the samurai code and an overwhelming desire for an aesthetically beautiful death you should be ok.

>>6760657
>…the samurai ethic is a political science of the heart, designed to control such discouragement and fatigue in order to avoid showing them to others. It was thought more important to look healthy than to be healthy, and more important to seem bold and daring than to be so. This view of morality, since it is physiologically based on the special vanity peculiar to men, is perhaps the supreme male view of morality.”

He grew up frail, his lasting inferiority complex is what drove him to greatness. True greatness like that is fleeting

I never noticed it until this moment, but he looks exactly like Camera man Abe in Game center CX

>>6760718
The anime of his time is not the anime of this time.

Here is a man who disemboweled himself. Think of the sheer grit that would take, regardless of anything else.

>>6760636
>a manlier author.
any author who does not feel the pressing need to constantly have himself photographed boxing, drinking and/or holding a gun while bare-chested and grumpy-faced. Such masculin, wow, many testos.

>>6761187
he looks nothing like that guy.. Can you show me a picture of one that looks similar

>>6761172
Anon, please see my earlier post about Hemingway's son. The irony is delicious.

>>6760833
But Guts is a literal beta cuck

If Berserk was actually manly it would follow the real hero of its universe and ubermensch supreme, Griffith.

>>6761247
You mean Mr "Waah waah guts no luv me no mo"

>>6761213
That picture is Mishima

This is Abe.

>>6760691
hot

>>6761214
That's a nice arse

Let me post an actually manly man who did manly stuff.

>>6761338
Melville loved the feeling of sperm in his fingers.

>>6761360
onanism is manly I guess

>>6760636

>>6761698
"x is a spook" is a spook

>>6762358
Elaborate.

>>6762343
This is the correct answer.

>>6762362
Elaborating is a spook.

The correct answer to this thread is Harry Crews. If you don't know why, look him up. Makes wittwe Hemingway look like a pansy

>>6760636
>Show me a manlier author.
I suppose she's a bit manly for a woman author.

Prentiss Ingraham, author of the Buffalo Bill dime novels.

>>6762666
Pansies all of them. Ned Buntline of was manlier.

He's not manly. Philip Dick manhandled that manlet. And Philip Dick used to get punched by his wife.

>>6761338
>>6760636

Are you implying Hemingway did not do manly stuff? He fought in two wars, was at the Normandy landing, went big game hunting in Africa, and survived two plane crashes.

I also love Melville.

>>6760636

>>6763369
Hemingway was a coward. Killed himself because he didn't have any friends and couldn't write anymore. He wrote some good books but fuck is he overrated.

>>6763421
He killed himself because he noticed how dementia slowly seized his brain.

Manly authors thread.

>>6763369
>went big game hunting in Africa
How is that manly in any way? I've seen the most pathetic people do this on tv. Like 'teenagers in an adult body' kind of pathetic.

>>6764071
Add Cortazàr to that list.

>>6764071
Miller, Houllebecq, Bukowski, Céline
Fante, ???????, ???????, ??????
Willy B., ???????, Hemmingway, HST

Who are the others, pls

>>6760643
Yukio "can't mishmash the shim sham" Mishima

>>6764085
3rd from left, same row as Fante is Raymond Carver. I would also like to know who the others are.

>>6764590
I've been wanting to read Storm of Steel for awhile. He sounds like a badass writer, like he could be a German Céline maybe (or vice versa).

>>6764841

>No SS
Come on, c/lit/s

>>6764853
It's true though. Is a man who attacks women who are probably smaller and physically weaker than him manly? No. He's a coward

>>6764867
heh, ggood one kiddo.

>>6764867

Hoes need to be kept in line anon. That bitch was disturbing the meditations of a great philosopher.

>>6760718
>The man watched anime
source?

>>6763274
this

>>6764867

Or he just feels he had a reason to attack that particular person, and doesn't fall for the 'men cant hit women' spook?

>>6764778
He is completely unlike Celine. He lacks any sort of bitterness or resentment. Also his later books (esp On the Marble Cliffs) are better than Storm of Steel.

>>6764071
needs more guns, cigarettes and booze

>>6764609
I thought it was going to be a video of him hopping around in the snow.

>>6764959
stirnerposting is so boring

>>6764609
I have no idea what this is but i like it

>>6764933
couldn't find it. So it looks like either its not true or its just not in English.

He was like a glorious British cowboy who wasn't afraid to say what was on his mind and call people out for their shit.

>sentenced hard labor in soviet gulag
>spends ten years living in shit conditions and working his ass off
>walks out like it ain't no thing and then gave a big middle finger to the soviets
>zero fucks given

>>6765071
He looks like he got raped constantly in the gulag

>>6764867
>kill a mosquito
>omg you coward why don't you go find some bear to fight

You hit the mosquito because he was being a cunt, not to make some point.

>implying Hemingway wasn't a closest homosexual who killed himself when his secret was found out

>>6762755
He seems like a run of the mill bourgeois author to me. Nothing manly about that.

He's one of my favorite writers

>>6765249
are you purposely missing the extremely obvious pun?

Roosevelt published some good books, I think he trumps anyone else itt for manliness

>>6765318
>you will never have a manlier pet

>>6765318
He wussed out when bear hunting and couldn't pull the trigger. That's where the word teddy bear comes from.

>>6762755
His brother Golo was much manlier in his pursuit of life - or as we enthusiasts like to call him, Yolo Mann

>>6765414

It was a fleeing bear cub. Mercy for the defenseless is very alpha.

>>6764085
>>6764071
Far right, second row is Burgess.
Bottom between Burroughs and Hemmingway is John Fowles

>this thread

>>6763369
>fought in two wars...

you mean: he drove an ambulance in one war (as did the poet e e cummings, but he is never cited as a masculine icon), never set foot on normandy beach, kept a safe distance from combat as a journalist, and limped out of battle with a head cold.

>big game hunting in Africa

tourist sport. local guides lead you to the animals, you take a shot or two. nothing really manly about that. the average white tail deer hunter in bumblefuck midwest is more manly by default.

>survived two plane crashes

i survived two car crashes, what does that make me? i also know plenty of other people narrowly escaping death by chance, that isn't an exclusively manly thing. its something that can happen to anyone by chance, especially if they travel frequently in small aircraft.

long story short your post is spooky

>>6765425
mercy is for weak. An alpha shows no mercy.

>>6764854
>The giving tree is manly lit

Boy I sure do love the society we live in that will praise you for your insightful critique of hemingway's character...

A bad fucking driver.

>>6765637
>my life is so shitty that I have to worship the 'accomplishments' of others

That lad is completely right, Hemingway was a try hard faggot. Everyone knew it, even in his day already and he has always been mocked for it. This whole mythologising of him is mostly done by those who don't know much about him.

>>6765736
i was the passenger in both instances

>>6765824
An idiot, then.

>>6765846
as was hemingway, then?

>>6765824
Unlucky, cursed even.

Maybe God wants you dead.

>>6765872
so not an idiot, then. all these things you are saying also apply to hemingway.

the overall point is that surviving a couple crashes doesn't make you manly

>>6765872
>Maybe God wants you dead.
He'd be dead then. Otherwise God has shitty aim.

>>6765885
I couldn't give a shit about Hemmingway. I just wanted to talk to the man who cheated death.

I think a more interesting thread is who is the most poseur manly author. All talk, no walk.
I think Robert E Howard would be it.

>>6765906

He killed himself which seemed pretty manly, i guess he had no friends and bad case of tfw no gf so suppose it doesn't matter. Wasn't he just living out his fantasies through conan.

>>6765906
Probably Mishima. Doesn't get any worse than draft dodgers who glorify militarism.

>>6766049
He killed himself because his mother slipped into a coma and couldn't bear the thought of not having his oedi-waifu around.

>>6764609
>nigasu in parisu

>>6766086
cucking your own father is alpha.

>>6766092

ey b0ss

>>6765885
>a car crash and a plane crash are the same thing

>>6766063
he was sick and the doctor misdiagnosed him, he didn't dodge the draft

>>6765885
dude this is an abstract concept we are talking about in the first place. Who is to say there can even exist something that contains more "masculine" qualities than something else.

>>6766199
I believe that to be the excuse of a coward.

>>6766209
I don't doubt that he kind of was at heart, the same part of the novel he talked about fantasizing about a glorious death while at the same time being the first to the bomb shelters once the sirens started.

Hard to say about his later life though if he genuinely changed of just got better at masking it.

>>6764085
Pedro Juan Gutierrez is the one next to Fante.

>>6760642
m'shima

>>6763369
he didn't do any actual fighting or killing though, he was a paramedic on both accounts

As manly as it gets.

>>6768536
In the first world war he was an ambulance driver, in the second world war a journalist that was carefully looked after by actual soldiers. Also, when he lived in Cuba he called his fishing trips in his boat 'looking for nazi u-boats' and took himself quite seriously. He had a tommy gun for this purpose with which he shot at fish. Later he tried to become a KGB spy but he was so useless the KGB simply gave up on in.
