From somewhere in the middle:

"This place was the only thing he had ever missed in his life. He cherished it & loved it, but wished its memories away- as without them, the rest of it, the aimless sufferings, the quotidian routines, the wasted times, the labors, the struggles, the consumptions & sicknesses, the fleeting bouts of anxious energy which cleared his ever-encroaching mist of shame & regret, but for moments only, like pleasant dreams interrupted by the morning’s alarm, by fantasy-fragmenting necessities, these bores & chores, agendas & groceries, these shattered hopes, these botched sacrifices, this unimpeachable loneliness, this emptiness- none of it would stand in such harsh relief against his few fond memories had they never occurred at all. It is this illusory precondition of enchantment which pains him more than the disenchantment with which he’s grown accustomed- as this lost world denies the reality of his own, or at least it denies its necessity & the necessity of his acceptance of it. These memories condemned him, so he condemns them in return."
outstretched hands like water, steam, or mist."

"What unholy alchemy, this decimating atomism, proving in its endless self-confirming loop, that all is composed of number & measurement- of adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, exponentiating- all of these subjects which plagued him in his youth- incomprehensible arabesques of arithmetic which turned all to bits passing through the grist mills of algorithm, their endless decimals, their infinities uncomputable by the weak machine of his flesh- these undulating, oscillating figures which snared life & passed it through purses, wires, & through the very air. He envisioned economy as a cloud of whirling nothingness encroaching upon everything- which when inspected, always retreated, dissipated, forever into a flux of darkness, passing through his outstretched hands like water, steam, or mist."

I'm not so sure about these really long sentences with all these clauses separated by commas. I understand he's going for a kind of maximalism here, but I just don't think it really works, you know? Instead of feeling baroque and over-the-top, it just feels exhausting.

Honestly, I think he is wasting everyone's time with this. He would be much better suited to write a book of literary criticism Harold Bloom-style or essays/letters on various topics. This is just pretty embarrassing. I don't really want to even want to give it my time, it is clear he is just missing the mark.

>the beginning — arguably the most important part of a novel, especially a debut — is purposefully bad in order to... dab on the reader?

lmao i'm sure his reasoning would've stayed the same if the initial reception to this had not been one of mockery and cringe

[Anonymous No.12824259]

I will explain why I think it's bad

1) He opens his debut by referencing the opening of Ulysses, the single most influential and acclaimed novel of the 20th century. Before he's even written a complete sentence, he has compared his piece of shit to James Joyce's masterpiece and some of the most iconic lines ever written in the history of literature. This is quite literally pretentious, not to mention uncreative. He begins his story by invoking a level of intellect and talent and genius which he so far has absolutely no demonstrable claim to. It is so gobsmackingly pompous and juvenile that I can only gasp and assume that by referencing Ulysses he thinks he is performing an imitation of an irreverent and knowing parody which Nabokov might have written. If he doesn't immediately justify the comparison/parody by showing me that a) the reference serves a purpose beyond letting the reader know that Logo's read the cool long books in the upper level reading section and b) he is not an untalented little worm standing on the shoulders of giants and can actually compete at the level of Nabokov and Joyce, then he will essentially open his story by attempting a spectacular triple axel and immediately falling flat on his face.

2) Naturally he is incapable of justifying the comparison and immediately falls flat on his face. In an attempt to distract the reader from that painful faceplant, he proceeds to bombard him with a succession of minor failures (each more annoying than the last) by

3) Moving on to some of the most disgusting alliteration I have ever had the misfortune of reading in my short life. It is UNBEARABLE. It is not funny or ironically bad, it is awful, it physically hurts to read. There is nothing musical in his alliteration, there is no rhythm or prosody; it is pointless noise which has no coherent pattern and which he uses to give his writing a false sense of energy, sort of like drawing speed lines on a stick figure to signify movement. What is his solution when his stick figure cartoon still looks ugly and lifeless? More speed lines of course! He has the technique of a total amateur in this regard, not a master like Pynchon, who uses alliteration judiciously and purposefully for an effect that feels naturally propulsive and melodious without drawing unnecessary attention to itself.

4) The symbolic language is a disaster. An Eggs Benedict as a shipwrecked vessel in digestive juices as a body of water. Very cute, it sounds like a comparison out of Osmosis Jones. It's not only gross, it's not beautiful or original or relatable. It doesn't exaggerate any characteristics of the Eggs Benedict that might contribute to the reader's experience. There's no reason for me to care about the contents of this guy's stomach, and there is without question no justification for the phrase "the maelstrom of his digestion"

I've hit the word limit and don't want to write a second post. But I hate Logo's writing! I think it stinks, really!

And still more. Every single excerpt from this novel is pure garbage. There's no need to own logo, it's enough to just quote him. This is writing without any feeling, full of pretense toward depth that it doesn't even approach. And it's also syntactically poor, with endless enumeration, but almost no subordinate clauses. He tries to compensate with this by using "smart words", but ends up sounding autistic, halfway between a car salesman and a drunk philosophy student. The style is bizarrely melodramatic, no doubt bc of the "unraveling" theme, but it can't hit any emotion whatsoever. It's really more of meltdown - watching a popsicle melt on the asphalt, that sort of thing.

They should find a good cgi programmer to make virtual gay porn using all of their respective avatars, because that's the level this is aspiring to. A line of limp dicks humping into the sunset. All at the touch of a Kindle key. If a single one of them had an ounce of honesty, if they were the least honorable, they would not have done this. In my eyes, they're all share equal guilt, equal blame for this fiasco. None of them are rl friends, either. Obviously. Because if they were, this would have all gone down differently.

>Shadow (the Hedgehog) of the Torturer: Part 1 of Book of the Nu Cum

It is possible I already had some presentiment of my future. We were fooling around in some like old graveyard, digging up dead bodies and fucking them. You know, for laughs? What a bunch of goofs we were. Bugs Carota, Adam Lanza, Tommy Pynchon and of course me, Shadow L’Etranger. Old Tommy was sure to bring the laughs wherever he roamed. For example, he was wearing a lightning enchanted sorcerer’s ring this night. When I met him at the front gate, I went to give him the old slap-slap fistbump handshake turn around touch the ground routine, and BZZT he gave a right nasty buzz. I took it well, got him up against the wall and gave him the old finger in the bum as punishment. I was the alpha male of the group, naturally.

Anyway, that night we were going wild. Not only were we giving corpses the old shaggie maggie, but we also found the key the morgue. ‘Fresh meat!’, Bugs proclaimed, approaching a freshly murdered man whore to perform grizzly post-mortem fellatio to. ‘Bugs, easy on the penis.’ Lanza mocked, while tonguing the delicate bullet wounds of some dead bitch. Even though I’d shot hot loads over half a dozen bags of bones that night, I had a full on erection, and instantly pounced on a corpse. Oh, what a hoot, never had a been in a body so close to life. And then, to my surprise, a micro penis right between her moldy thighs. Oh boy, this night couldn’t get any better! Wait until Master Bloom heard about this one. Slobbering over her lifeless face, I felt an eerie chill down my spine. Was that Tom jacking me off or… no, the hand was too bony. Too… lifeless. ‘Ah!’ I screamed. The T-girl shot up, still with her skeletal hand clasped around my knob. I was petrified, but gallons of cum shot from my dick regardless.

The lads all looked over. ‘Who invited the live girl,’ Bugs questioned. She struggled to speak, but eventually managed the words, ‘Who…. who?’ She looked sad. ‘Is she an owl?’ Tommy quipped while sparking up a fat one. I pinned her up against the wall, ‘How did you get here.’ Commotion from outside distracted me before I could get an answer . ‘The guards?’ Adam pondered. I shook my head, ‘Couldn’t be! I massacred them all with precise karate chops before we came in.’ Still, as the alpha male, I had to take a look.

I was right, the guards had nothing to do with the noise. Instead, elite soldiers were battling it out. One side wore the armour of the Autistarch, fashioned after the Spartan IVs of Halo from the books of old, and the other wore mysterious black robes. I ducked, dived, jived, moved, leaped and bounded through the complicated gymnastics of the warring entities and eventually found myself hiding behind a huge flower pot. I saw a bald man, ape like and almost entirely white. He spat as he raped some Kid (his little sister Phoebe, I somehow knew). After finishing, he put on his red hunting cap and lit a cigarette. ‘Aw mate you wouldn’t lend us one.’ He spat, and passed a ciggie over. I smoke it with glee. ‘Hey, don’t I know you.’ He stared deep into my soul.

Just then, a cyborg ninja arrived and split him in two right in front of me. As both halves fell to their knee, a coin fell from one of his lifeless hands. ‘Oh boy!’ I thought, chasing after it, ‘If I catch this coin, I’ll be able to buy 1 new e-book!’ How wrong I was. As soon as I picked the piece of metal up, a precognitive fear activated in my brain, and for seemingly no reason I screamed. The coin was not a coin at all, but the mark of the twisted psychopath, Davewallus. The battle ended, and I returned to the morgue.

The lads were now all suitably stoned, and the nameless tranny from earlier had found her soiled Japanese style maids outfit and cat ears. ‘Shadow, I…’. I spat in her face, ‘Shut yer trap, you… trap! We’re proud members of the torturers guild and we don’t take too kindly to morgue sleepin’ shemales.’ She placed her hand on mine, and I felt some sympathy for the freak. Some days I felt that I hated the torturers life, and would instead like to settle down with a qt in a nice a little village like Poochester or Shitsburgh. ‘OK, come back to the citadel with us, we’ll find some use for you. What’s your name anyway?’ She beamed, ‘Natalie Mars, Shadow-kun!’ Another huge glob of grog came hurtling from my lips and onto her stupid looking face, ‘Your name from now on will be Dumbass! A-and enough of that gook crap! ’ She licked the snot from her face, and gave me a hug.

>>12826928
The citadel was an amazing building, designed to look like a huge black penis sticking full mast into the stars. It was a metaphor you see, for how much the torturers fucked everyone in the ass. A torturers job was to take in criminals, and torture them accordingly, in relation to the severity of their crimes. You stole one of your neighbor's chickens? Hung upside down and sounded. Caught having a piss on the side of a building? 48 hours of hard pegging. Didn’t pay your TV licence? Forced prolapse. I knew how to punish every crime. When I was much younger, I went up to the old book masters chamber, and talked him into giving me The Big Book of Torture. I narrowly escaped molestation, but it was worth it. Every year I gained top marks on the torture test, and Master Bloom said I was on my way to being Chief Fucker, one of the highest ranks for a torturer my age.

Once me and the lads returned, we snuck Dumbass into the citadel by dressing her up as a boy and made our way to the games room. In order to be a torturer, an advanced gamer level is needed. Us lads were big time gamers though, some of the most epic in the school. We were all laughing, playing a couple games of Fortnite and absolutely killing it. That was until Master Bloom came storming in. ‘Where have you boys been? Shadow, in my chamber right now.’ Shit, I thought. ‘Look after Dumbass for me,’ I shouted as I left.

***

Master Bloom’s chamber was an interesting place. He had many ancient tomes, and I never knew a time when he was not reading outside of his classes. He was a funny looking guy, bloated and almost frog like. I liked him anyway, he had a good sense of humour, and he always took a liking to me.

He was rummaging around an old box, and then finally pulled out a vicious looking samurai sword. ‘I want you to have this Shadow.’ I picked it up, and inspected it. The kanji inscribed on the blade translated to ‘reary coor sword’. Yes, I spoke Japanese, and was secretly a massive otaku, but I couldn’t let the boys know. ‘This is really for me?’ Master Bloom looked over smugly ‘Of course, you will need it when you becoming Chief Fucker. It’s English name is Terminus Jest’ I felt pride, and immediately swung the sword. It was an agile beast, with enough weight to do some critical hits! ‘You may notice its immense agility. The sword contains the cum of a thousand samurais within. It could never be repaired if broken, so take good care of it Shadow.’ I sheathed the katana, and bowed. As I was leaving he briefly stopped me, ‘There’s a new inmate in the cells tonight. Have a look at her.’

[Anonymous No.12826949]

>>12826943
The cells were deep within the citadel. A torturer could not enter without his mask, and so I retrieved mine from my chamber. It was a replica of the Mask, from one of the flicks of old. Everytime I put it on I felt some crazy energy, and was perhaps why I was such an amazing torturer. I wondered who this doomed woman was, then I thought of Dumbass. How could she remain in the citadel? My initial feelings for her were all muted, and I thought I’d kick her out as soon as I was finished in the cells.

Behind a stiff iron gate, I spied on the inmate. She sat cross legged and proper. I could just about make out her face from behind her long, elegant hair and oh boy, what a babe. My eyes came shooting from their sockets and my tongue comically rolled on to the ground. I composed myself, and entered the cell. ‘The names Shadow.’ I outstretched my hand, and she pawed it femininely. She was dressed in the highest garb. Yeezy sneakers, and a dress I can only imagine could have been designed by Autistarch’s designer, Rick Owens. ‘Nice to meet you Shadow, my names Thecla.’ I tried to keep it cool, but I was crushing on her hard. ‘D-do you need a-anything?’ She smiled, which didn’t ease my nerves, ‘Just some water.’ I jolted up. ‘R-right away C-chatelaine.’ There was a sink in one of the adjacent cells, and I poured her a glass. When I came back she was completely naked. ‘Awooga!’ I shouted. My heart pounded from my chest. She grabbed me closer and we began to fuck.

[Anonymous No.12826962]

>>12826949
I left the cells even more determined to kick Dumbass out of the citadel. However, some patrolling torturers stepped up to me. ‘Hey dork, why haven’t you tortured that bitch?’ I recognised the voices behind their terrifying masks. It was Bulk and Skull, the two biggest jerks in the citadel. ‘Fuck off cunts, I’ll torture her when I’m ready.’ They both burst into hysterics. ‘Looks like little Shadow has a crush!’ Bulk approached the cell, with the intent of torturing Thecla in my place. I wasn’t going to let that happen. I scanned the room for a weapon, but then remembered. Terminus Jest! Skull was preparing to supply Bulk with a 32 inch dildo, but I swiftly decapitated him with one strike. Bulk turned in horror, and grabbed the dildo. ‘You little fucker!’ We began jousting, and although Bulk’s strength level was far above mine, I had maxed out dex. I rolled around him continuously, confusing him. As he pummelled the dildo into the ground to crush me, I rolled one final time and jabbed him with the katana. Green blood oozed from his guts. ‘Me no wanna die.’ he cried, but I didn’t care. I plunged the sword into his heart, pulled it out and showed it to him. Thecla leaped to my side, and kissed me. However, she too would have to die, to avoid the awful torturing she would soon receive. As soon as my tongue left her sweet mouth, I chopped her up into little pieces. Poor girl, I thought. But I had bigger problems, Bloom and the other Masters were sure to disapprove of this act, and I would have to leave the citadel in order to atone. I took a piece of Thecla’s delicious meat to remember her by, and said goodbye to the citadel.

Dumbass would not leave me alone before I left. I had no use for her at all, but she wanted to come with. ‘I love you Shadow!’ she passionately moaned, but I could only shrug my shoulders. I wasn’t away to be dragged down by some tranny bitch! I pushed her out the way, and took an inventory of my stuff. My Austrian paramilitary boots, Cav Empt jacket, mask from the Mask and Terminus Jest were a must have, however my large Funko Pop collection and Rick and Morty boxset could stay. I also remembered to keep the mark I had picked up earlier, and slipped into my top pocket. I put everything else into my black leather backpack I bought on Grailed, and left.

The citadel loomed behind me. I was a travelling torturer now, and I would have to forget my old life. Sure I would miss gaming with my bros, listening to Master Bloom’s boring lectures and the nightly trips the graveyard, but those days were gone. I journeyed aimlessly North, perhaps hoping some jobs would become apparent. Eventually, a few hours later, I decided I needed to rest, but the inns nearby required too many credits. What was I to do? I didn’t want to sell any of my cool clothes. I thought long and hard. I would have to sell Terminus Jest.

I came upon a little bookshop just out Cockshaven, and noticed a weighty warhammer in the front window. Surely this place will be willing to share a few credits for an epic katana, I thought, and wandered in. The place was quiet. I browsed the books, finding some I might have bought if I was well pennied. I stumbled on a copy Fanged Noumena with an Introduction by some old sages of Twitter, with names like DeluezeSlut, PostModernPepe and Logo Daedalus. I got a few pages in, laughing uncontrollably the whole time, then approached the lass at the counter. ‘Ha, what an appalling book. I’ll take it!’ She looked up from her copy of Turtles All the Way Down, ‘That’ll be 10 Linden dollars.’ I placed the book down, and unsheathed by sword, ‘Perhaps you would be interested in giving me some credits, and the book, for this fine sword.’ I began to perform a recital of special moves. She looked unimpressed, so I pinched the John Green book from her, and diced it into a thousand pieces. ‘Oh my god!’ she screamed, and ran into the back. I was puzzled. A minute later, a lanky boy appeared. ‘What a mess. Are you responsible for this?’ I responded proudly, ‘Yes, I am, as a display of my fine swords power. Your colleague was frightened just by the sight of it. Surely this could offer you some safety in the future. Book destroying thugs are commonplace in these desperate times.’ He reached behind the counter, ‘How much for you to get just out of here?’ I winked at him, ‘A credit or two will do.’ I was still waving my sword around. ‘Here take a 100. Please don’t come back.’ I was perplexed by the statement, but took the book and the cash anyway. I dropped the sword, and scurried out of there, ‘I would have sold it for 50!’ I slyly muttered to myself.

I checked in at an inn, and continued to guffaw at the horrid Land book. Maybe life wouldn’t be so bad out of the citadel, I considered, at least until I was rudely interrupted. A massive giant, and a silly little man intruded on my reading. ‘Get out of my room!’ The small guy extended his hand, despite my reaction. I begrudgingly shook it. ‘The names Dr. Talos, and this is my travelling companion, Slavoj.’ Slavoj sniffed. ‘Why are you in here? This is my room!’ The doctor began to unpack, ‘Well they said we could share at the front desk, besides aren’t you lonely. We saw you before you came in, you are travelling alone aren’t you?’ I was less than pleased, ‘I am travelling alone, but I don’t need company, especially when I have my book.’ He glanced at Fanged Noumena and grinned, ‘Oh, that one wouldn’t quite do for good company. It’s written for fools who know nothing about philosophy. Land is a total pseud. His ideas are derivative, not to mention the racist undertones...’ Anger was kicking in, ‘I’ll have you know I was reading the book ironically! Besides the racist undertones are the best part.’ Slavoj sniffed. I grabbed the book and my credits and stormed out.

[Anonymous No.12826995]

>>12826987
I couldn’t stand being humiliated like that. Dr Talos and his fat friend would pay, with their lives if necessary. I stormed back to the bookstore. The sign on the front read ‘Agilus’ Books is now Closed.’ What did I care. I pushed the door open, and looked for my sword. The lad from earlier, who I assumed was Agilus, was standing with his pants down, and good god, what was that girl doing to his penis!? I threw up. ‘H-hey look, we’re closed,’ he squinted, ‘Oh no, not you.’ He reached for the sword, I reached for the warhammer. ‘You’re no match. I’m equally adept with strength weapons as well. Hand over the sword.’ Of course, I was lying, but I knew I would convince him due to my high speech level. He tossed the katana over. ‘Thank you!’ I began to leave, but I heard him shout, ‘Is that it?’ He was pulling up his trousers now, and the fiendish female that was attacking him had disappeared. I approached ‘Looks like I saved your life, that girl was away to pull a fast one on your private parts.’ He frowned, ‘That girl is my sister, Agia, and we weren’t doing anything. It’s just how we uh, say good night.’ I grinned, ‘No need to be so proud stranger, we all need help in our time of need.’ I slapped his sticky hand, ‘You don’t owe me nuttin. I’ll see you around kiddo.’ I left, and forlornly made camp for the night outside.

Hey, Logo- got a minute?

Here in this thread, I mean, not on Twitter (I'm long suspended from there.) I need your help.


I noticed that your new Amazon book is causing a ruckus here on 4chan. It's reached the point where anons are talking about doxxing rogtwitter ecelebs over it. This is the third or fourth raucous thread in the past few weeks....

Literature is not a secret message to an in-group. A lot of people have had problems with the first chapter of your book. I understand it clears up and gets great later. But what do you say to the general reader, who doesn't know you, or 4chan, or frogtwitter, and who finds your book? How do they hang on? What do you say to them?

You can use your name on the post so people know it's you. It seems like this is your audience right here. You've got more people interested in you here than anywhere on the 'net.

What do you suggest to readers who come into your book with no expectations/knowledge?
