Infinite Jest
Immortal Joy
>ends
You guys just don't fucking get it. Jesus. I mean, how can so many people posing to be so many things get so much so wrong so often and so completely implausibly? I just can't even begin to grasp the grease soaked truth that is all of your undeniable pads of intellectual shoulder meat that you braise in the overly reductive bourdelaise sauce stirred by nature's nefarious specter of glum n 'turbation and his sommelier buddy George who's just here for the weekend.
I mean, FUCK. You guys just think that you're all the tartest in the smarties bag don't cha? Just the shiniest scalp at the old people's home? Just the wettest pair of panties at church, huh? The deadest joke ITT, yeah?
Well You've got at least one other thing coming your way from my way that you didn't see coming your way cuz they call me Nighthawk.
Remember that name.
Nighthawk will strike with his [my] tumescent talons, my scalpael sharp talons of justice and pugnity, forged from Haepheastean steel and made with the finest oils made from God's most delicous of fish in the clearest sea on the shore with the most beautiful Brazilian women who you can't even really tell have had kids because for some reason that skin just snaps back like a fresh leathercowhide rubber band made of the freshes mozambiquean rubber (that's where they get the gest rubber).
NIGHTHAWK: prowler of truth and sanctifier.
Everlasting Happiness
Incalculable Euphoria
Continuous Holiday
Is Infinite Jest the big meme around here like Neutral Milk Hotel is for /mu/?

>being this new
Interminable Jolliness
>>7385133
IJ, Gravity's Rainbow, and Ulysses are like IAOTS, Death Grips, and Trout Mask Replica are for /mu/ around here.
>>7385159
Wait, you mean Trout Mask Replica is supposed to be good?
>>7385162
no it's just a meme
>>7385168
Gravity's Rainbow and Ulysses are unparalleled works
>>7385178
pynchon is a talentless hack
even worse than dfw
joyce is top-tier, though
>>7385183
omg you are so dumb
>>7385027
But it literally doesn't
>>7385030
basically this
everyone else is a cockturd
>>7385027
>this is what plebs actually believe
>>7385212
American lit is all trash, so he's correct.
Nobody takes you fucks seriously.

Nice b8 I r8 8/8
>>7386614
Good "American" writers include:
Nabokov.
>>7386565
I'd be pretty confident in putting America's body of literature up against anyone's.
>>7386565
kek your not american i take it so your point of view doesnt even matter
>>7386621
Melville
>>7385030
Pasta?
>>7386623
The Greeks.
>>7386621
And Faulkner, Gass, McElroy, Pynchon, Gaddis, DeLillo, Wallace, more old white dudes.
>>7386623
>>7386665
>amerifats think that these guys can compete with german, french, italian and russian literature
>>7386671
German, french, italian and russian literature can't compete with McElroy or Gass. You haven't read them if you think otherwise.
>>7386683
oh am i laffin
>>7386660
Depends if you consider plays and poems literature. You could count the great Greek novels on your dick.
>>7386671
And with complete confidence. Russian is probably the most impressive in that group, and it stopped being really great well over 100 years ago.
>>7386707
Gee, i wonder why only americans could come to such braindead conclusions, which showcases their self-centered ignorance perfectly.
>>7386671
keep clinging to the past
bu-bu muh goethe, muh proust...
it's over
>>7386722
Don't pout, argue your point. Where are you writing from?
>>7386565
the only country to go from barbarism to decadence with no culture inbetween
>>7386772
American culture IS modern culture; other countries only manage reactions to it.
>>7387371
>he says this while being spied upon because of 9/11
>he says this on an anime imageboard
>>7387386
It's true though.
>>7386668
Ur mean
>>7387371
> modern culture
>>7387442
Exactly. Brought to you by America. You're welcome.
>>7386608
OK ITS TIME
>>7386730
Truth.
>>7385162
It is good. I like Green Day better though.

and these, lads, are the illiterate scoundrels with whom you spend every waking moment of your basement-dwelling lives :)))
>>7386671
>Implying America hasn't been a goldmine of fiction in the last 60-70 years
America is a first-world country with wide culture and a population most Europeans countries are only a fraction of.
Would you really expect them not to create a decent amount of fiction?
>>7387420
And you're a faggot.
When I first floated this idea that America's body of literature exceeds anyone else's, months ago, the reaction was pretty reflexive and dismissive. I am glad to see that some of you have given it some more thought.
Infinite Jest was even better on the second read. Just a staggeringly great book.

>>7385183
kill urself my man
I hate David Foster Wallace so much
So fucking much
And all of you as well!
>>7386730
Grass was pretty good tbqh famo
>>7391348
Why hate greatness?
>>7385024
>>7391908
Oh please.
>>7389402
Only for you bbe.
Non stop Party
>>7386623
even Norway wrecks you
>>7392005
Is that where you're writing from?
>>7391958
Of course he's great. People wouldn't be so convinced they were so impressively iconoclastic disparaging him if they didn't think they were aiming high. I don't see daily threads with people whining about John Hawkes being overrated.
>>7392242
I hate wallace and I hate you and I'll fight you
>>7392562
Take it easy, Franzen. I hear Purity's a lot better than Freedom was, not that that's a very high bar.
>>7385224
Not who you're talking to but I'm interested. How is it infinite? I never finished it and probably won't in a long time.
>>7391911
oh ymgod
>>7386671
A group of 300 million people is bound to spawn some geniuses. Don't be so salty.
>>7389198
I live in an attic :)
>>7392984
It circles back, so the last action begins the book, and it can become the only thing you want to read.

Anyone have that video of some autist screaming "David foster Wallace" from his car
Here's something you might want to visualize. A man. He's 30 years old. He has long hair. He wears glasses. He's about to embark on the most incredible artistic quest any human being has ever embarked on. He is poor. He's sitting in a comfortable old rocking chair in a tiny apartment in Syracuse with a legal pad in his lap. On that paper, he writes two words. Just two. "Infinite Jest." This is how it begins. His journey, and ours. We're living in the aftermath of that moment. Try to grasp it. Try to imagine yourself in a world in which he didn't put those two words on a piece of paper. Are you trying? It might take you all night. Try to stay awake.
