as a struggling writer I find this book highly offensive. his first book is a giant fuck you to pretty much all artists and critics. I can see why he wasn't more popular.

Most very successful people in the arts are narcissistic. Narcissists are also good at knowing that they're narcissists. If you can't handle being called a narcissist, then you probably aren't cut out to be an artist.

As a struggling artiste myself, I think you're a pussy queer and that Willie G was absolutely right about everything in this book.

I can't even finish this book. every time otto talks to someone they think he's gay or he plagiarized his play.
do they think he plagiarized it because it's good or because he quotes wyatt (who is usually quoting someone else)

>offended by a book
just step a way from the book man, stop reading it, retard.

They haven't actually read it, but the snippets we're shown demonstrate that it's not really worth reading. You could feel sorry for him for getting caught up with vapid people, but he's only getting back exactly what he gives since he's all bluster and affectation himself.
I only have one question...who was Ludy?

Grow the fuck up and practice the craft and maybe you can go from struggling writer (of what, you never specified) to successful.
Despite what 4chan faggots think you can be insightful and provide something worthwhile to the world that's good even if it isn't a masterpiece.
You don't have to intentionally write shit either. But you will if you get offended by what some faggot with his head up his ass thinks OP.

>some faggot with his head up his ass
Spoken like a true tard. None of the things he says about "creative" types in the book are untrue or inaccurate.

Never read Gaddis, but my point was that getting offended by anyone is just weak, and if you go around talking about people like your opinions are fact that leaves you with your head up your ass.
