Yeah, couldn't even get through half of it. That book is for college kids 10 years ago who want to believe poetry will get them laid (and if you got to read a book to believe that then bless your heart).

Experiential writing is redundant and gaudy and that book is the solid proof. Some mediocre Mexican poet getting a bunch of head is like sure, nice bro, but it's not a book. SD (pun intended) is like travel writing for going nowhere.

>> No.11364726

I picked up SD and 2666 in a double pack deal and now I'm worried that 2666 will also be trash.

Hopefully not.

I'd be interested in a quick review if you're speaking of the Knut Hamsun novel. I'm between picking up that and Mann's Magic Mountain next.

I finished the first book of 2666 a few days ago and your first post describes pretty well why I can't stand it, though they're critics/acaemics and not poets.
