So Paris and Vienna used to be the places to be for literati.
What cities are there now to go to?
My bedroom desu
There are none. You have to form ties and floating communities with people online who share your interests.
>>7885525
the internet
>where are good writers
Nowhere
Kraków
>>7885525
dushanbe.
i'm serious.
>>7885555
>>7885654
not even #1 city in the country
>>7885693
What's the #1? Poznan?
>>7885586
so is meatspace
>>7885525
Mexico City, Damascus, Reddit
>>7885673
why
Bogota, Kathmandu, Berlin
>>7885817
Auschwitz, probably.
Most of Tao Lins collaboration is done online through social media and that. I'm sure that's the way to do it these days
There is a park in Neukoelln called the Britzer Garten that a few of us have been meeting on evenings to discuss literature by candle light
London. Not even joking. We have the fucking School of Life
>>7885586
The internet is terrible because the world is terrible. It's all the same people.
>>7885874
Can you live cheaply in London? You have to be able to live there without having a cushy job for it to be a writer-friendly city. That's why there are no more good writers in New York.
>>7885859
but tao is a hack and no one should want to emulate him
>>7885909
Nope. Like Paris, it's fast on its way to becoming an overpriced disneyland inhabited by rich chinamen, Arab sheiks and Russian oligarchs
>>7885909
lol no, living there is crazy expensive
Any city that is late enough and prosperous enough to give you a good group of people, but not so commercialized as to make affordable living impossible.
I live in Chicago, which is a pretty good city, I think.
>>7885880
that doesn't really make people off the internet any better
>>7886088
Except for the eternal nig wars
>>7885525
At the moment i would probably vouch for Berlin...it's still reasonably cheap for a major city, good culture, and easy to find whatever you're looking for. Hopefully, they'll get the kabab under control.
NYC is overpriced and the rest of the U.S. is mostly meh...
>>7885817
warszawa baby
>>7885525
Anywhere you can live without working crushing hours. For some people that's Manhattan, and for others it's a sketchy building in Mexico City, but there are lots of artists in both of those places.
The Internet is not the answer. Real interaction is very important.
People saying Mexico Coty aren't far off. There needs to be a bigger exodus of American artists to DF for it to be a true center but the potential there is so strong. If you speak Spanish it's worth considering DF right now.
>people using /lit/ and "literati" as an abstract identity
>>7885880
What? Did you ever even try to get out of your chair senpai?
The world is fucking great. The people 4chan likes to call 'normies' comprise 75-80% of humanity and they're off towards making great deeds mankind will remember in some capacity. The cancerous remainder that is us is who truly crawls the internet.
One is the polar opposite of the other. There is hope for the world exactly because internet is so terrible. Spam the reddit SJW machine with gore, I say, and there will be eternal world peace.

>School of Life
alain pls go
Any place with a lot of muslims
>>laughinggirls.jiff
Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston are the last true literati cities in Ameirca, LA and NYC are cultural wastelands infected with global neo-liberal capitalism and gay australians and continental europeans who bought into the meme. Seattle and Portland were commercialized before they had a chance to become the cultural capitals of America. As for the rest of the world I think Latin America will be the next "big thing". Buenos Aires in particular.

What about Old South cities like Charleston, Savannah, or New Orleans?
>>7885525
Been thinking about moving to Belgrade, mostly because the cost of living is so low while still being in Europe.
Toronto
>>7885909
Share houses friends. There are poor people in NYC.
Maybe the online lit community should just arbitrarily pick a cheap city and turn it into a lit place.
>>7886317
Df?
>>7887086
im from charleston and its a very inspiring city. sadly the rent is pretty expensive downtown
>>7885525
Varrock or Falador
>>7887137
Distrito Federal, Federal District.
>>7886317
>Real interaction is very important
for what reason?
>living in a city
>willingly surrounding yourself with degeneracy and ugliness
>thinking that this will give you some sort of literary credit
>>7887170
is there any downtown/historic area in NA or Europe that's not incredibly expensive to live in?
