What about le meme man

Not anymore. F. Gardner has saved it.

With the rise of F Gardner's popularity, what can we as a community of aspiring writers learn from this author's success? What was it that F Gardner has done that others here can do so that they can achieve success with their writing?
The amount of exposure F Gardner is getting is unreal. Youtube videos, reviews and I feel like there must be something that made this author's books take off that we can all learn from.

What’s the best book to start with this author?

I’m torn between F Gardner being based and retarded. Which is it?

>Just thirty, with a well-paid job, depression and no love life, the narrator and anti-hero par excellence of this grim, funny, and clever novel smokes four packs of cigarettes a day and writes weird animal stories in his spare time.

F. Gardner

I feel very bad for giving a negative review, but this was pretty bad. I don't want to knock an aspiring writer but I also don't want to give false hope.

The editing was really poor, the dialogue between characters was cringey, the internal monologue was embarrassing, and just where was the story going?
What made me give up at 33 pages in was that I found myself taking a break after every chapter - and the chapters aren't even long! The book is only 130 pages; I can usually breeze through that in a few hours. But the writing was really tough to slog through.

One main sticking point for me was the constant interjection of philosophical and religious ideas. It wasn't that they were in the book, but it was strange to have the author explain each one. You've gotta assume your readers know what Occams Razor is - explaining it to the reader is very distracting. Same with Leviathan and the other concepts the author shoehorns in the story.

I have an essay on F. Gardner due tonight and I need your help. Give me all your knowledge on Gardner's work.

Fellow /lit/izens, we've been a bit too harsh on Frank, and he really doesn't deserve the mean comments.
After all, he's an inspiration to all of us since he wrote not one, but many novels.
How could we possibly show some appreciation for him? I think that an apology letter would be a good starting point. Let's cheer him up lads, one word each reply.
I'll start:
>Dear

Did he show up???
