If a famous writer were to write your biography in his/her style, who would you pick?
Id go with Dostoevsky because it would turn out like a modern day Notes from Underground
James Joyce in Finnegans Wake-style writing
Who is this.... Beautiful woman?

if you dont mind it taking 16 years
>>7464716
which writer would you pick?
>>7464713
margaret thatcher
Can I marry the woman in your image, OP?
>>7464700
Someone post here instagram please. I'm on mobile and I can't Google image search otherwise I'd do it myself.
Please
>>7465081
PLEASE
Fucking cunts
Kurt Vonnegut
He'd skim thru it and make it sound too ridiculous to be depressed over. After all, it's just one life on one planet in one dimension. Let's not get too sentimental.
>>7464700
>a famous writer
So I would pick myself.
>>7465124
if you're not pynchon, then gtfo
>>7465125
',:^)
>>7464700
>>7464700
Shakespeare.
Are you telling me you don't want your life made into a Shakespeare play?
My life is ridiculous as is. It would be the best dramedy of all time
>>7465125
QUICK: what do Mason & Dixon, V. and Gravity's Rainbow have in common
Dumas or HST.
Shit would be tight.
>>7465142
The auteur?
>>7465147
QUICK: What is Tchitcherine's name for The Counterforce's opposition?
>>7465142
(Neil Hamburger voice): I use all them to wipe my ass with!
But there are many similarities. Not sure which one you're after -- maybe that they all feature Pig Bodine?
>>7465148
Can't google it, forgive me master :'(
>>7465156
just making sure Pynchonposters haven't actually read any of his material
>>7465154
yes thats what i was looking for
>>7465161
Nah, just shitposting, excuse me, am the /lit/ newbie, getting through Ulysses at the moment, but planning to read some Pynchon in the future for sure, Joyce's books got me interested in books again since I had finished Dostoyevsky in high school.
>>7465186
please refrain from trying to 'fit in'
>>7465148
Doesn't he just call it the Cartel? idk
>>7465192
I'm not trying to "fit in", I just got interested in Joyce's books after I've read The Portrait and thought that the rest of /lit/ recomendations may be good as well.
>>7465208
yes the rocket cartel
the idea was easy qurstions not easily googled
>>7464713
>woman
>wo
>man
I'd like Raymond Carveror Kjell Askildsen, who is basically the same style of writing but he's Norwegian and easily as good if not better than Carverto write my life story
>>7465070
I don't know why I laughed so hard at that
>>7465662is he worth it in translation?
Urs Allemann
>>7464713
It's the Queen of /r9k/
>>7466152
because she looks like a frog-person?
>>7464700
Andrea Dworkin
She would probably find me boring to death but if she got some insight on my psychology then something interesting could come out of it.
>>7464700
Id pay a truck driver to write my biography
>>7464713

Are you that fag in the other thread who said he was the only true Pynchon fan?
Kill yourself
>>7466930
I... hope this is bait.
>>7466930
She was an authority on weight-loss, or so I've heard.
>>7464700
Jonathan Franzen because I'm an upper middleclass Midwesterner that only other upper middleclass Midwesterners care about.

Of all the things in the world, why would I want to do that? I can rewatch It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World for the sixth time, or drop acid. Read Shakespeare, Hegel or go hitchhiking. Convince me. I'm not right-wing, I'm pro-LGBTQ and tolerant. Not a bait.
>>7466934
most patrician answer ITT.
Who is this delightful woman?
>>7467025
>Convince me.
this meme needs to die.
>>7467025
Get informed on contemporary feminist issues?
Like you're asking "why would I read Das Kapital" or "why would I read Principia Mathematica?"
Robert Musil
>>7466119
well yeah, I didn't learn Norwegian just to read one writer
>>7467602
He died.
Jose Saramago.
Dat biting wit.
dfw. not even memeing. if not probably someone like kunkel or garreta.
Kafka for being the one writer whose personal conception of the world I've been able to relate with most
Kafka because I feel like I'm just walking around confused most of the time.
>>7468075
Me too. I could read a thousand page analysis of myself infused with slapstick comedy.
>>7464700
Tolstoy just so i could be jaw-droopingly creeped out by how he was able to get inside of my head and pry out and express my deepest thoughts and emotions that i thought were exclusive to only me but are really felt by everyone who has ever existed. Some people might find this depressing but i think it would make me happy and feel closer to people
Camus because that way people would actually read it but it would still be sorta good.

virginia woolf
i am a sad
