Reminder to read John Hawkes, the most consistently underrated and underread of the American postmodernists and a highlight of 20th century US literature at large.

im reading
>an introduction to deluze by todd may
ngl deluze kinda sounds like a high and mighty asshole
>80% of all thinkers before are cringe and their only value is having their works be stepping stones to the modern day
and his critism of marxism feels much bland rather than focults and derridas ngl. his other ideas are cool tho

There are genuine criticisms you can make of that book but 99% of the people that tell you it's shit are nu-age contrarians who want to "fight back" against modern classics.

It's a fine book. Read it, you have nothing to lose.

Finished that recently, will probably have to re-read certain sections to fully understand it. whereabouts have you read up to?

[Anonymous No.22694030]

>>22694025
page 13-14, just got done explaining derridas idea of the economy of language and the sillyness of privliging 1 idea over another

[Anonymous No.22694061]

>>22694030
ah, i see fair enough. i hope that you can find something you enjoy as you go on, personally i enjoyed the interplay of nietzsche-bergson-spinoza a chapter or two ahead of you. towards the end, theres also a topically relevant section on the israel-palestine conflict

[Anonymous No.22694129]

>>22694061
im still gonna read it no doubt
for one im always gonna read a book i bought unless it is UTTER DOG SHIT (undercover economist being the bootlicking book to end all booklicking)
i just had issues with deluze as a person but his ideas are interesting tho (god i hope its pro palestine or imma have a stroke)

I don't like 'Gravity's Rainbow' but if I wrote a novel I would probably try and use the same themes that Pynchon uses.
