What authors do you think would have used /lit/?

I can guarantee Nabokov and Stirner.

>> No.6201855

I don't think Nabokov would have been too fond of the internet. I like to think he would make video Q&As for his fans though.

>> No.6201897

>>6201677

Off the top of my head

>McCarthy
Old school recluse who, if he had been a faggy millennial would surely sit in his squatted room/apartment and shit post all day.

>Bukowski
Worthless fuck who relished in doing degenerate shit all the time (pro-tip: Posting on /lit/ is fucking degenerate).

>Marquis DeSade
Fan of Scat, father of Sadism, sick fuck. Sounds like a standard /lit/izen

>Joyce
If only to mine pop culture references and internet slang to include in the sequel to FW

>Chesterton
Fat fucker who routinely BTFO the tippiest of fedora tippers of his time.

That's all I got.

He never did, he was even worse than Lewis (if such a thing is possible).

>> No.6201965

I would not be surprised if Pynchon checked out 4chan, and maybe /lit/, while doing research for Bleeding Edge.

Known public debates that Chesterton won (by his contemporary peers at the time):

>G.B. Shaw
>Bertrand Russell
>Clarance Darrow

The picture is of Thomas Pynchon's actual appearance in The Simpsons. He provided the voice and all. It's as much of a classic in Pynchon canon as the yearbook picture.

He literally "solved" TCoL49 or at least presented a ridiculously likely theory that for some reason no one in academia ever bothered with. It's probably not him, but it's mostly just an epic meme anyway

This.

I'm sure he'd experiment with a few things, though - namely on Youtube/daily motion/etc. Be they short stories or Q&A's.

I'd like to think that he'd make some sort of podcast where he discusses his interests and shit, talking about language/linguistics and his own favorite authors and shit like that.

Now to be fair, I had completely forgotten about that post, and it's a good post, but it's probably just some overly eager autist.
And also, that can't be Pynchon because I'm Pynchon

I saw Ben Lerner post here once.

He didnt offer anyproof but there wasnt anything about it suggesting he was doing it to get replies.

It was one of those "how is you're writing going threads" and he wrote something about getting published recently and someone asked him what and he replied and they were like "Ben Lerner?" and he said yeah
