/lit/ - Literature

Norman Mailer sounds like he's right up your alley but /lit/ in general hates him

Nearly everyone here adores Cormac McCarthy so start with him (Blood Meridian and Suttree being the first two you should start with)

Recommend me good posts now in the archive because of this trash.

Yukio Mishima obviously

>>9920056
>a dead thread died for this meme

Yawn

>>9920055
Nope, why start with his masterpieces? The orchard keeper is the one to begin with

John Green of course

>>9920052
Henry Miller, I guess.

>>9920063
Yukio Mishima is way more multifaceted and his prose doesn't strike me as particularly 'manly'. Explores masculinity and feminity nicely though.

Robert Frost

Ayn Rand

the most noble of masculine traits as we all know are crippling alcoholism and insecurity

>>9920199

That explains Kerouac and Henry Miller and a ton of these schlock 60's lit novels like Powdered Eggs or The Ginger Man that I somehow got a hold of where the narrator laments both his daddy issues with Christ and his lack of pussy. The masculine whining is like tinnitus of the spirit.

>>9920055
Cormac McCarthy doesn't seem that masculine.

>>9920052
Jack donovan

and this

>>9920199
They are. Masculine men are constantly destroying the Self and building anew. Men struggle to achieve the unachievable masculine ideal; faggots sneer and give sarcastic comments from sidelines as they sink ever deeper into the feminine (mediocrity)

Get it together.

Becoming a Barbarian is much better than this.

Melville and the Greeks are the only acceptable "masculine" writers. The rest are immature roleplayers.

Mishima is manly as fuck. He can even make the act sucking a cock look manly. It's the literary equivalent of /fit/.

Marek Hlasko

>>9920063
>Mishi
>masculine prose

come the fuck on, big part of his appeal is the contrast between his obsession with bodybuilding, military shit and other macho stuff and the tenderness that his prose can reach

>>9920298
Nothing gay about that.

>he attended the Technical and Drama High School in Warsaw, yet, in the end of December 1949 and early January 1950, he was expelled for "a notorious disrespect to school regulations, criminal violations, and wielding a corrupting influence on his colleagues"
>At the age of 16, he obtained his driving licence and started working as a van driver. On 28 September 1950 he was sentenced by the Magistrates' Court to two months of work with a 10% deduction from his salary (as he violated Article 7, point 2 of the Act on Securing Socialist Discipline of Work). After working off his sentence, he changed his employer.

Hegel.

I don't know but every time I want to talk about his books (or even his essays ... fuck could this be a more perfect time for "The White Negro" or what?) I get called a pleb.

I suspect no one here read him and that's certainly fine and dandy

>>9925630
damn, just reading about this guy, what a based motherfucker like you say
also he was friends with Borges

Borges
>Theres the honor and epic sense in his stories
>He dislike fags

I disagree, I think the Orchard Keeper can throw people off. Start with Outer Dark at the earliest.

I mean he is the best writer to ever walk on this Earth but I would easily describe his description of human misery as "whining".

>>9926937
there's nothing wrong about being feminine or masculine, now if you hate males or females, there's a problem with you, mr insecure

4chan has a very homosexual idea of masculinity, believing it is solely the quality of being attractive and having nice photos, sometimes with dabs of criminality.

Being fat and grumpy doesn't make you masculine.

>>9927470

What do you take from Welsh about masculinity?

which one of you did this

>>9920063
Mishima's real life persona was such a performance, though. It was clear he was trying to be something he wasn't.

>>9920052

Nice spook.
