>>7898742
i dont read nazis.
had it on preorder for months fampai
>>7898746
2017, anon.
It's so far away. This and the new McCary novel got me excited.
>>7898742
If it's inspired by Finnegans Wake, why would you even bother reading a translation? Seems pointless to me.
>>7898761
>McCary
wow im high
>>7898766
Better a typo than admitting to sucking Corncob "Tortillas" YeCarthy's dessicated old cock.
How much overlap is there between Gassposters and Schmidtposters?
>>7898742
I can't wait. It'll be the last thing I read before I die
>>7898786
shut it gassposter
>>7898786
I doubt there's much. Schmidt is a next-level obscurantist meme. Gass is still understandable under American circumstances.
>>7898780
Terrible

>he actually fell for the yecarthy meme
>>7898946
>he actually thinks this is clever
>>7898742
>translations
>translations of obscurantist gibberish
Nothing's happening
>>7898951
Yes
And it's the guy who did all the celebrated Mann translations.
The real question here is this - is there an existing ebook that is both free and readily available?
>2016
>buying books
Kucks.
>>7898742
>John E Woods
This guy must do nothing but translate. He translated Buddenbrooks, The Magic Mountain, and Joseph and his Brothers. Absolute madman.

that's just the tip of the iceberg
this man is very patrician desu
>$53 dollerydoos
Better hope you live near a well-funded library m8.
>>7899036
>he cant spend $53 for a book
lol
>>7899041
>paying an extra $40+ dollars for a hardcover
>in the year of $10 penguin classics
Someone fell for the meme.
>>7899046
penguin also doesnt publish this book
also
>implying i differentiate between $10 and $53
>Translations
Ayyyyy
>>7898909
What's that guys name again?
>>7899075
Ahuviya Harel
>>7898761
DeLilo better than McCarthey, and DeLilo has a novel coming out next month or something...
>>7899036
That's the preorder price, the full price is gonna be ~$70
>>7899036
The cheapest German edition is €250
>>7898742
bottomless pit when?
>mfw i'm reading it before FW
>mfw i'm reading before finishing Ulysses
who wants to make a reading group?
>>7900391

Im gonna buy this and never read it because im not nearly as smart as my purchases. Bottoms up bois
>>7900469
i would have to start again, i read it years ago
maybe on vacation
>>7900870
So what makes your dilettante self think you can get through 1500 pages of schmidt if you can't even make half that in gorgeous Joyce prose?
>>7901135
Hey, man. Come on now. I can't finish The Tunnel, but it won't stop me from getting this.
>>7899049
>making smart monetary decisions isn't something you should do if you're rich.
>>7898764
If you don't know anything about translation, why would you even bother posting? Seems retarded to me.
>>7898742
Is this one of those books where the author tries as hard as possible to be edgy and unique?
Absolute madman
>>7901167
>this is how poor people think
Kek this is why you're poor. I reserve my efforts considering monetary decisions on if I should buy the 80 million house or the 100 million house
>>7901191
I miss sebastian
>>7901135
>can't even make half that
you seem to be under the impression i put it off because i found it difficult, which isn't the case at all
and anyway i'll read whatever the hell i like, even if i don't like it
if anything your attittude only makes me want to read it more to rub it in your face
>>7901275
>reading something to rub in the face of someone on an anonymous Vietnamese sand castle construction image board
You should probably reevaluate your life
>>7901278
you should reevaluate yours
doing good things for bad reasons is the only true way to live
>>7901275
I'm sure you'll do fine reading 20 pages of whatever you like and then leaving it to collect dust on your shelf cause you have no actual interest or commitment to it other than your flimsy half baked whims
>>7901354
i've never done that and i don't buy books anyway
>>7901228
>it's important that people know I have money
You sound fun.how's that deep unfillable hole in your life treating you?
>>7898742
i was actually going to kill myself today but now i have to defer it
thanks a bunch John wood
I don't get it. Why is everyone so hyped about this?
>>7901971
It's the first English translation of Zettel's Traum.

Just another meme book for the pseuds to put on their bookshelves and never read.
>>7898746
If you had a fucking job you could just buy one of the first editions that are signed on ebay for like $200 you broke fag.
>>7901141
I hate you stupid fucks who buy books as if they're apart of some antique collection. Like some faggot ikea bullshit you hang up in your parents modern art themed basement.
>>7901141
Gassposter here. If you can't finish The Tunnel--which you totally should, by the way--you have no chance of finishing Zettel's Traum. Sorry.
>>7902036
fuck off silverblatt. the book is glorified nonsense.
>>7902041
But that's pretty much the point: The Tunnel is supposed to be a disorganized, confusing, offensive, unobjective piece, as it is showing history's underbelly, the inside of its Tunnel; and if you can't appreciate his philosophical ramblings, his virtuoso performances (Lime Slush, The Wedding), in which he pushes the limits of the English language; if you can't look at Kohler--the skeleton humanity keeps in its closet--and see a little bit of yourself; then you are just not the kind of person The Tunnel was made for.
>>7898742
>translation
waste of time
>>7902091
It's ramblings about food and senility and sex from an old man, with childhood stories of eating ice cream, and namedropping Rilke and the Holocaust on occasion.
