How was it gay? There's nothing gay about appreciating male beauty.

no you

>> No.8546346

the preface ( Wao opinion on Art and Artists) its the only thing I remember from that novel. Its been struck with me since the day I read it. Everything else is redundant.

>> No.8546382

>>8546346
This so much

My favourite part was about how aesthetic beauty is the best beauty as it requires no explanation
Can't remember the exact aphorism

>> No.8546384

I was suprised at how unirish it was. I mean why did he call it Dubliners if he was going to base it in his home-city of Glasgow? Why not "Glasgwegians"?

>> No.8546404

>>8546382
Never mind, just read it again and I think that parts in the actual novel

My favourite part is the part about how the hate of realism is calibans rage at his reflection, and hate of romanticism the rage of not seeing

>> No.8546409

>>8546384
Certainly not Irvine Welsh's best.

Methinks you will have to fight me first. Bro,I'm a gamer, a you just don't mess with a gamer and live to tell the tale.yes I am a redditor, but I am also a father. I'm 1/3 of a polyamorous relationship and an active member of the furry fandom. Seriously I have fandom cred. All in all, I think I'm one mean motherflippin' pirate ninja. Starwars= bacon of filmmaking.
