>Implying Ulysses, The Sound and the Fury, Siddhartha or any other modernist book will ever take off
Nobody will care for these books in a couple of years. Stop pushing it, modernist-shills. Everybody knows that content > aesthetics

God damn, I wish someone write a fantasy book with nordish creatures (dwarves, elves, trolls). These modernists don't stop complaining about everything.

Any reccomendation about German history? Looks like the Nationalistic Party is making their country better. Why Europe can't make something similar?

I take it then that you haven't read Dunsany? Of course he's rather in the Celtic than in the Nordic vein; but I don't see why that should matter, especially. And there's more than one other writer in the same vein - Yeats, of course, posses at times the dreamy air of fantasy - not to mention Morris and MacDonald from an earlier generation, and Branch Cabell, &c, &c, &c - even someone like Chesterton in his own way. There's no paucity of writers of romance and fairy tale if that's what you want; I certainly don't see how the modernists are doing anything to take that away.

Damn, now I want one of those drawings of a sad/bored/nervous Ezra Pound in the corner of a party complaining about his feet hurting.

Have you heard of this young Italian fellow, Julius Evola?

He has some interesting ideas, and I sure haven't seen much discussion of him around here.

>> No.6574486

what's the big idea, see?
