What does /lit/ think about these two WoC?

>inb4 Zadie sucked DFW's cock

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 01:37:25 2015 No.6776478 >>6776470 I never read anything by either of them. Zumbaba the dreamweaver's books sound boring.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 01:38:19 2015 No.6776483 Wait, do you think Zadie actually sucked DFW's cock? Holy fuck thats so hot.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 01:39:07 2015 No.6776485 >>6776470 Zadie Smith is pretty cute. I like a couple of her essays but I'm not going to pretend she's some sort of literary wunderkind Adichie is a shit writer IMO. Also very unattractive. This WoC could use a little less color if you ask me

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 01:40:02 2015 No.6776490 >>6776485 I dunno, she looks like a fucking skeleton in Opie's pic. Not what I'd call cute or attractive at all.

>But it’s still something of a shock to see the extent to which Wallace—the perspiring, softly spoken and tortuously sincere figure of popular affection—could himself be a Hideous Man. Sure, his friend Jonathan Franzen felt compelled to point out that Wallace was never “Saint Dave,” but it’s another thing entirely to see him walking through the Amherst campus as an undergraduate, remarking on the springtime “smell of cunt in the air.” We later learn that Orin Incandenza’s penchant, in Infinite Jest, for seducing young mothers is in fact something he shared with his creator. We learn about DFW’s womanizing, about his book-tour fondness for “audience pussy,” and that he once wondered aloud to Franzen about whether his only purpose in life was “to put my penis in as many vaginas as possible.”

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 01:59:00 2015 No.6776553 I've been reading White Teeth. It's not bad.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 02:06:00 2015 No.6776570 >>6776526 Incredible...is this from the D.T. Austist bio? Also, do you get the feeling that Franzen is honestly just a huge jackoff and he sort of does the same thing, what with his having a partner when he's "on the West Coast" ?

White Teeth was a good and important book. I feel like she "gets" London today. Zadie's said some pretty insightful things about multiculturalism (like it or not, this is what's relevant - the intersection of cultures is one of the things that defines the era we live in now).

Also seems to be way more sympathetic to American lit than most euros, based on her essays. I don't think most /lit/izens know how unliterary and patrish most of its favorite authors seem to the rest of the world

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 02:31:09 2015 No.6776634 >>6776632 He fucked a lot of fans on his book tours. Brief Interviews with Hideous Men is pretty clearly semi-autobiographical at moments. I remember one bit about how easy it was to manipulate "granola-cruncher" hippie girls at festivals, for instance

>it comes off as insular and ignorant. Ephemeral. Kind of like pop culture
I'm going to have to strongly stress this: Americans really do not care very much about about the rest of the world, most especially the rest of the world's opinions about America. You're using the word ephemeral incorrectly btw

Defeatist? I just seems inevitable as tech, communication, and means of travel become more widespread, advanced, and accessible. Cultures that used to have much less contact with one another suddenly are affected by one another, and react to one one another, at a rate that seems to increase exponentially. I mean, you could live in a shitty town and close yourself off from the world but even then the media will get to you. You're fighting a losing battle

I'm starting to think she did.
DFW was known to be more alpha in person and really goofy/loser looking for effect in photos and interviews.

Also Black girls usually like to try a white guy at some point in their lives.
DFW had around 10 years on her which is supposedly the "magic number" for that kind of thing. He was an impressive artist by the time they would have met. . . international acclaim as someone who had written something hard to understand. He was in another league, head and shoulders above the others and that kind of thing. . . well it writes itself. Oh and an expert in being sad, which is certainly Zadie's spot.

Video related got me to buy 'Changing My Mind'.
I've read most of it and so far I think I would love a Zadie Smith novel, will probably read a couple before the year is over.
I heard Adichie give a reading once and thought... I'll wait for her to get older and write about something else.
