do you ever use memes in your writing? I'm writing a novella right now that's like a hybrid between Confederacy of Dunces and Naked Lunch about a fedora wearing atheist neckbeard (haven't decided if I want to make him an anarcho capitalist or a Marxist yet) who becomes involved in a conspiracy surrounding his favorite anime show about little girl horses. Even though the work is a little derivative of the fedora meme, I'm also adding a wink wink nudge nudge scene where he goes to reddit's headquarters and runs into Aiden Gillen who calls him a big guy. If it doesn't bog down the gravitas of the work I might inject Brendan Fraser and max stirner.

It's supposed to be an absurd comedy, but I might add some dramatic elements, and my prose is a bit Pynchonesque.

Hope to get it published, I already sent a rough draft to penguin.

This can and will only work if you go way over the edge with it. Like, push the absolute atrociousness of it all past the point of being unbearable. Namedropping memes and philosophers might make it sound strung-up -- but not if you consistently do it in the loudest, most overbearing way possible.
Would love to read it if it comes out well.
