It was a hot summer day in the city, and the bald, bearded man with glasses was feeling parched. He had been out running errands all morning, and he was in desperate need of a refreshing drink.

As he walked down the street, he spotted a small convenience store that he had never noticed before. It was called "Onions Stop," and it advertised all kinds of onions-based products, from drinks to snacks to meal replacement powders.

The bald, bearded man with glasses was intrigued. He had heard of onions before, but he had never tried it himself. He decided to go inside and see what it was all about.

As he walked through the door, he was greeted by a friendly employee who was more than happy to explain the various products on offer. The bald, bearded man with glasses listened intently, and he was impressed by the nutritional value and convenience of the onions products.

He decided to buy a few bottles of onions drink and a bag of onions bars to try out. He paid for his purchases and left the store, feeling excited to try his new products.

Over the next few days, the bald, bearded man with glasses found himself turning to onions more and more often. He loved the convenience and the nutritional value of the products, and he quickly became a onions convert.

He started experimenting with different flavors and types of onions, and he even tried making his own onions recipes at home. He was completely enamored with the stuff, and he couldn't get enough.

As the weeks went by, the bald, bearded man with glasses became more and more devoted to his onions lifestyle. He found himself spending less and less time preparing traditional meals, and he was feeling healthier and more energetic than he had in years.

But as he embraced his onions obsession, the bald, bearded man with glasses began to alienate his friends and family. They didn't understand his obsession with the weird, beige drink, and they were concerned that he was neglecting his social life and his health.

The bald, bearded man with glasses didn't care, though. He was happy with his onions, and he was determined to stick to his newfound lifestyle.

But as time went on, he began to realize that his onions obsession was starting to take over his life. He was spending all of his time and money on the stuff, and he was becoming more and more isolated from the people he loved.

In the end, the bald, bearded man with glasses had to make a choice: continue down his lonely, onions-fueled path, or try to reconnect with the people in his life and find a more balanced approach to his health and nutrition.

What will he choose? Will he be able to find a way to balance his love for onions with the rest of his life, or will he be consumed by his obsession? Only time will tell.

The bald, bearded man with glasses had always been a picky eater, and he found that onions was an easy and convenient way to get the nutrients he needed without having to worry about the taste or texture of food. However, his addiction to onions began to take over his life, and he found himself spending more and more time drinking it and less and less time with his family.

At first, the bald, bearded man with glasses tried to hide his onions addiction from his loved ones, but it wasn't long before they began to notice the changes in his behavior. His wife would often find empty onions containers in the trash, and his wives children would complain that he wasn't spending enough time with them.

His wives boyfriend was worried about him. He could see that he was becoming more and more isolated and unhappy. He tried to talk to him about his addiction, but he wouldn't listen.

One day, the bald, bearded man with glasses' wife's boyfriend made the difficult decision to leave. He packed up his things and moved out. The bald, bearded man with glasses was devastated. He knew he had lost everything because of his addiction to onions.

The bald, bearded man with glasses knew that he needed to make a change, but he found it difficult to break his addiction. He would go through periods of cutting back on his onions consumption, only to find himself shamefully drinking it excessively only a few days later.

Finally, the bald, bearded man with glasses realized that he needed help. He sought out counseling and onions support groups to help him overcome his addiction. It wasn't easy, but with the support of his family and the help of professionals, the bald, bearded man with glasses was able to break his addiction to onions and focus on rebuilding his relationship with his loved ones.

One day, the bald, bearded man with glasses' wife called him and asked if he would like to meet her new boyfriend. The bald, bearded man with glasses was overjoyed when hearing this, and he agreed immediately. He was thrilled about meeting him, and he was determined to be civil and polite.

When the bald, bearded man with glasses met Abdul, he was pleasantly surprised. He was kind, funny, and easy to talk to. The bald, bearded man with glasses could see why his wife was happy with him.

As the bald, bearded man with glasses continued to rebuild his life, he also started to build a newfound relationship with his wife's son. He would play nintendo switch with him or take him to a science exhibit, and they would have fun together. The bald, bearded man with glasses was happy to be a part of their lives again.

In the end, the bald, bearded man with glasses was able to overcome his addiction to onions and rebuild his relationship with his wife, her boyfriend, and her children. He was grateful for the second chance he had been given and was determined to make the most of it.

Why is the bald bearded man with the glasses considered a picky eater? He clearly has an open enough mind to try onions, something not unanimously held to the standard of a universally palatable food. Did he maybe make an offhand racial stereotype reference at some point - maybe a commentary on the use of spices? It was probably a shorthand for a joke, and really, maybe it seemed good for the gander at the time. I'm sure he feels bad about it now, but cut the guy some slack, I'm sure the guy could be weened off the onions with a scallop day mixed into his diet, he really is trying.

The pollack characters in Karamazov are dumb brutes. That could be perceived as a political statement. So?

I was reading his blog the other day after hearing about him here and idk, it seems like his exchange with R. Scott Bakker on worldbuilding really took the wind out of his sails. He only did two more blogposts after that before disappearing. It seems like his being told that he's the "best reviewer on Goodreads" gave him a big head (might be uncharitable on my part, but I'm wary of critics who are proudly critics/when they think of criticism itself as an artform) that was deflated by a confrontation with an author like Bakker. ("Like Bakker" in the sense that regardless of what you think of his work, he's published nine books, a few essay collections and a swathe of short stories, whereas Keely has written a book but hasn't published it...? I couldn't find it if he has.)

a critique of any kind is a criticism and when it is in reference to a work of literature it is literary criticism. There are baseless critiques and there are critiques with bad arguments for them (which I guess you could call opinion in a sense). These are bad criticisms and when they are in reference to literature they are bad literary criticisms and make up the body of bad literary criticism. That does not mean they are not literary criticism. And of course review is not criticism. Literature reviews can contain literary criticism, what makes it a review is added stuff like rating for personal taste and arguments for why some people might like it (marketing elements). But these elements, like you said, takes it out of the category of pure literary criticism.

A simple critique of a work of literature is not literary, it is just a critique of a work of literature. This debate only exists because people assume that since they know the meaning of "literary" and know the meaning of "criticism" that means they know what "literary criticism" is, they ignore context and look at the pieces individually instead of their combined meaning. People like Bloom who straddle the line between reviewer and critic probably did not help things either.

Bad vs good is not really part of it, that is an unsupportable opinion and very much frowned on in the field. The question would be was it effective at achieving its goal and why or why not, how could it be improved, how does it compare to others who have attempted the same goal, etc. A big part of the field is to remove the subjective as much as possible and separates it from reviews which are primarily subjective.

Give some criticism a read, some of it is very enjoyable and most of it will make you a better reader.

I usually see the opposite. The mainstream view is “flowery prose is always bad” while “simple Brando Sandro prose is best.

While “purple prose” that’s trying too hard holds back a lot of books, there are some books with beautiful prose out there that are certainly made better because of it, and would be lesser if their prose had been simple and straight-forward. Good prose is hard to pull off, but when done well flowery prose has something that straight-forward prose doesn’t.

When it comes to readers assigning these labels, all we can do is ask ourselves whether the person talking is biased towards poorly-done purple prose, or to generic simple prose.

Im referring more to when somebody says it as a way to reduce an argument I have made to an absurd degree and then disregard it. Im cool with when people are like "that sounds like x philosopher when he said y." At least then I can confirm or deny instead of just being misrepresented as a member of someone else's club. Or even like "that is very *school of philosophy* because *argument*" would work better.

Both of you are confused, purple prose does not mean wordy and complex, it means it is filled with words which serve no purpose beyond themselves, they do not add anything to the whole. These sorts of works tend to fail in both the literary and genre worlds because they are tiresome to read.

I’m not confused. That’s why I specified “flowery prose” and “purple prose.” Because good prose is usually flowery, but “purple” prose is flowery prose done poorly.

Not really. The bulk of what is considered good from a literary or genre standpoint is is fairly functional without much ornamentation, the extremes of minimalist and maximalist (as in prose style being the complete opposite of minimalism, not encyclopedic doorstoppers) are in the minority. Flowery prose is generally used as a synonym for purple and I would bet if you search for it google would give you results for purple prose. Other than a handful of times on this board I have never come across a distinction being made between them.

New critical theory is a malevolent poison that should be completely expunged from existence. For true art and beauty to be made, witnessed, and appreciated, works shouldn't be winnowed or categorized into some sort of pedantic modernist cheese grater of 'current year' faggotry. Keats hit the nail on the head with his concept of negative capability. Some truths are self-evident, and anyone who tries to divert what is self-evident and beautiful, or attempts to render things down into their most basic elements, will ultimately fail to see the point. Its this cancerous nihilism that perverts nature and only succeeds in making everything ugly and stale, just like the miserable lives of anyone unlucky enough to be stricken by its brain-eating, victim-affirming, misanthropy.
