Ya dude. Epic bost btw.

As Twain once said, brevity is the soul of wit.

With this in mind, Infinite Jest proves that David Foster Wallace is a hack, and his fans are just meme loving hipsters.

It's great if you're a 20 y.o. white college-attending upper-middle class male.

What if I'm a 19 year old white community college attending middle class male?
Am I too far removed from the target audience?

Nice meme

Funny enough the ones who say shit like pleb fit the definition more than anyone else.

By twain do you mean shakespeare, because that's from hamlet.

ITT idiots who cannot recognize great literature. The film cartridge was a metaphor towards the shadow projection as described by Carl jung.

Plebs.

>>7611377
That could produce some cool stuff, though I'm not feeling that particular image.

Yes cause his constant use of metaphor makes the shit he spewed genius.

Man, you have huge balls I swear on me mums, one of the best responses I've seen on /lit/. Your wit is transcendent.

That green area, the definition of pure, colorful, vomit, it doesn't look as terrible aesthetically but, it disgusts me even more for some unknown reason in comparison to the other colored regurgitation.

>some boring, no-personality hipster faggot whose depressive episodes are triggered by snarky tweets can't relate to anything in the book
>thinks it's shitty

I used to live where the book is set, I used to burn like hal and erdedy, I've known guys like gately my whole life, I used to smoke blunts where Joelle takes her pre-suicide walk, and even though I never contribute to the DFW memeing the dude succeeded marvelously in capturing watched wanted to capture

They are, you're right! Kind of like how all black people like fried chickun and guns.

vomit for the sake of shocking

there's no difference between vomiting or spitting it or just pouring it

I literally have not read the book and just said some random shit about jung after briefly looking at the summary of the book on wikipedia. This is how dumb the average /lit/ poster is.

I'm your average lit poster and after you wrote that I decided not to reply because it seemed to be just so off

But now that you claim that everyone on /lit/ is retarded I got to prove you wrong, sorry

$100 you both attend shitty colleges, and not Amherst (or schools like it).

If someone could explain to me why DFW went from being lit's favorite to reddit-tier? It's a radical change in taste and I don't understand the sudden shift. Thank you in advance.

>>7613495
Wow, he looked badass and with spunk, I guess being clinically depressed and whatever the hell happened to him...he really let himself go.
