This was indeed miserable to read. The only funny part was the jewish professor paying 25$ to a hooker to perform the heimlich maneuver.
Reductive materialists have no business writing novels.

ANYWHO...... If I read and disliked Mao II is it worth it to read other works by DeLillo? I didn't mind his writing style, it was more the ideas of the novel and the rigorous cataloging of camera equipment which always makes me cringe.

Ive read mao2, Libra, and WN. They all felt very different in tone and style. I'd say check out Libra, I thought it was great. WN is cool if you are into Baudrillard and are afraid of dying.

Not surprised. I read The Body Artist and I got filtered but it seemed like it was trying really hard to be deep and philosophical, plus the chapter describing the performance art was cringe. Delillo says his main influences are free jazz, abstract expressionism, and other pretentious bs and it all makes me think he farts into jars then periodically takes a good big whiff, quickly rescrewing the lid to preserve as much of his ass fumes as possible for later use.

challenging art isn’t ‘pretentious’, maybe it’s best you stick to stuff with less bite in the future. maybe warrior cats or something. you’d probably be better just playing animal crossing to be honest, that seems like a proper challenge for someone like you

No one said it was. That anon pointed out the influences Delilo claimed dovetail with pretentiousness and instead of responding to it by defending it you cried. I think he touched a nerve.

Claiming that the types of art that anon listed are more "challenging" is pretty pretentious. Also, if you found Don Delilo challenging you're NGMI.

Not that anon but even if you don't think the art is pretentious you can certainly see that fans of it are and if you don't believe that you can go to your local university's Jazz Appreciation club and listen to a bunch of fucktards ramble about how Miles Davis's switch from scale based improvisations to modal improvisations on 1959's 'Kind of Blue' was actually a deeply coded demand for the civil rights of black people in segregated America and not one of the greatest American musicians of the 20th century applying a musical concept that has existed since at least the 1200s in classical music to the freeform style of jazz.
