yeah it's unfortunate. the reason he's able to write 2 books a year is because he recycles (self-plagiarizes) like crazy. so if you wanna know what all of his books are like, skim his latest next time you're in a bookstore and you'll have a pretty good idea of the normal Hegel/Lacan/Lenin mashup

I'm absolutely laughing my ass off at the absurdity of this image. Anyone with even the faintest knowledge of history would know that the "corn" that Caesar speaks of in Commentaries On The Gallic War is not the corn that we in the west are familiar with, but is rather a poor translation for the word "grain" which in Latin is "Frumentum"

Myself and many others who have read the commentaries would know what you're trying to refer to with your image but it's wrong. Unless of course you were already aware of this and you are posting this ironically. In which case I commend you for your post but it's still blatantly wrong. I would have gone with a collage of images of wheat instead.

i think that there are many translations that are good representations of the original prose

however lolita's whole artistic conceit is nabokov's love of the english language, so yes, it's hard to match the prose in translation for lolita.

That's Sartre's philosophy. I'm assuming that he expected what he did from Camus because he doesn't actually understand the distinctions between the different existentialists (or existentialists and absurdists, if you like).

>Not giving a fuck, etc.
That's Camus in a tiny, incomplete nutshell.

The expectation wasn't necessarily idiotic: The Stranger isn't a bad place to start if you're exploring existentialism, but thinking that this amateur mistake is worthy of making into one of these images/posting it is idiotic.

Started reading it yesterday, don't get it at all. I mean I've only read essays called cybergothic and another one about Lovecraft (letters one) and it's literally just a bunch of words strewn across the page that are supposed to mimic the aesthetics he's trying (?) to invoke. Have no idea what the point is, tons of sentences have no sense whichever way you put them, just fluff.

Is he trying to be a french 'philosopher'?

It's striking to read his Dark Enlightenment/ Neoreactionary writings now after having read his early writings. He basically went from your stereotypical French obfuscated philosopher writing about Marxist-Feminis-Post-Modern nonsense to hardcore right-wing post-Libertarian Reactionary. His prose style has also significantly improved and has refined itself down to a very readable level.

I'm not sure what the value of that book is though. I haven't read all of it yet but a lot of it seems to be style of substance. It's weird and interesting to read but there's not much philosophy to be found there
