thats pretty funny.

>>19503380
I don’t know if I should laugh or just be sad on how pathetic Bakker is.

>>19503389
Bakker's blog is really cringey. There's a post where he randomly starts rabtung about how much he hates his ex-wife's mother. It's pretty embarrassing.

>Hans Mayer, the great German-Jewish literary critic, writes in his autobiography Ein Deutscher auf Widerruf how he visited Musil at his home in Switzerland during their emigration. It was 1940, and there was a widespread fear that the Nazis might invade also Switzerland. Musil couldn’t get into the USA, and Mayer was suggesting the relative obtainability of Colombian visas as a pis aller.
>'Musil', he wrote, ‘looked at me askance and said: "Stefan Zweig’s in South America." It wasn’t a bon mot. The great ironist wasn’t a witty conversationalist. He meant it… If Zweig was living in South America somewhere, that took care of the continent for Musil.’ (quoted by Michael Hofmann: Vermicular Dither, London Review of Books, 28. January 2010)

>In the third volume of his autobiography, Elias Canetti describes how he after completion of the manuscript of Die Blendung (Auto-da-fe) in 1931 sent it as a parcel with an accompanying letter to Thomas Mann, hoping that Mann would read it (and possibly recommend it to a publisher). Alas, the parcel came back unopened with a polite letter by Mann, telling the unpublished author that he was not able to read the book due to his work schedule (Mann was working on his multi-volume Joseph novel at that time). The disappointed Canetti put the manuscript aside for a long time, until Hermann Broch arranged a few readings for him in Vienna. One of them was also attended by Musil who allegedly said to Broch: “He reads better than myself.” (Not surprisingly, Canetti was an extremely gifted stage performer in the mould of Karl Kraus.)
>Later on, when the novel was finally published in 1935, Canetti wrote again to Mann, who now – four years later! – congratulated Canetti and wrote also very positively about the novel (which in all probability he hadn’t read except for a few pages). With this letter in his pocket and beaming with self-confidence Canetti was running into Musil one day when Musil brought it about himself to also congratulate Canetti. Not knowing about Musil’s strong antipathy regarding Thomas Mann, Canetti blurted out: “Thank you, also Thomas Mann praises my book!” – to which Musil answered with a short “So…”, turning around and ignoring Canetti for the rest of his life.

It was an ex-girlfriend’s mother which makes it even more embarrassing. Dude is carrying grudges that are decades old.

>>19503514
This is just absolutely based.
Fuck Cioran.

>>19503514
James Elroy is so damn based.

Nabokov’s copious annotations taught me much about Austen’s unique handling of temporal and spatial distance. In the margins of his copy and on separate sheets of notepaper, Nabokov draws charts, maps, and diagrams, makes lists of dates and names, and calculates distances, incomes, or ages from the numerical crumbs dropped by Austen. Guided by her descriptions, he maps the grounds at Sotherton Court, sketches a barouche to determine the spatial arrangements of the characters in a carriage, and lays out the rooms of Mansfield with architectural confidence. He also sketches maps of England, including a small one in the top corner of his copy’s opening page, noting the locations of both real and imaginary places mentioned in the text, such as “Portsmouth,” “Huntingdon,” “Hampshire,” “London,” “MP.” He triangulates the presumed location of Mansfield Park from the stated distances to real-world cities: “120 m” between MP and Portsmouth, “50” from Portsmouth to London, and “70 m” from London to MP. He circles her alliterations and underlines important phrases. This is what happens when one great novelist takes another seriously.

Nabokov calculates from specifics in the story that the year of the “main action” is “1808,” explaining in his lecture how he arrived at this date: “The ball at Mansfield Park is held on Thursday the twenty-second of December, and if we look through our old calendars, we will see that only in 1808 could 22 December fall on Thursday.” The fact that Nabokov bothers to locate Austen’s “Thursday” in real time implies trust. He believes her words worthy of attention and assumes she is in complete control of all aspects of her story—even details that others might brush off like the colorful confetti of a casual realism. In fact, Nabokov warns against any lazy comparisons to “what book reviewers, poor hacks, call ‘real life’ ” and insists that his students read Mansfield Park on Austen’s terms: “There is no such thing as real life for an author of genius: he must create it himself and then create the consequences. The charm of Mansfield Park can be fully enjoyed only when we adopt its conventions, its rules, its enchanting make-believe.”

This is literally autistic. Who the fuck would do that while reading a novel?

>>19503461
He is using a Humorous anecdote to illustrate his point, No malice for his girlfriend's mother is expressed in the post. Also, contra OP, there is nothing autistic about getting annoyed that you're edgelord novels filled with rape and murder get mistaken for children's literature.

>>19503410
Christ, what is Musil's problem

>>19503829
He was unironically bitter for the last like 10 years of his life that his book he spent years working on never really got that much attention. I can’t blame him really, but it’s an irony he for sure did not appreciate when the person who praised his work the most was actually Mann funnily enough, but I guess he wanted his book to be known for its own merits rather than become some offhand recommendation from a Nobel laureate

>>19504173
> In 1932, the Robert Musil Society was founded in Berlin on the initiative of Mann. In the same year, Mann was asked to name outstanding contemporary novels, and he cited only one, The Man Without Qualities.
>In 1936, Musil suffered his first stroke.
>Musil seethed so hard about his arch enemy recommending his book that he stroked out IRL

>>19503461
I don’t know a lot of these words. I feel intellectually inferior to this cuck. What should I do?

>>19504253
The dumb cuck never read Bandura. Discard his dumbass opinion.

>>19504253
It's really, really easy to appear smart regardless of whether or not you actually are. Obviously smart people exist, but just because someone has a grasp of grammar and rhetoric doesn't mean they are smarter than you.

>>19503461
That's a retarded argument. Literally just the same old "there is no truth" paradox and the same old weaselly cope.

>>19503605
Nabokov was an obsessive when it came to details

>>19503461
This is what atheism does to a mf.

>>19503461
Eliminative materialism is basically the dumbest shit that a person could believe. I would rather talk to a young earth creationist than to someone who takes this shit seriously.

>>19503409
>"randomly starts ranting about how much he hates his ex-wife's mother"

That does actually make them smart.

>>19504571
He was the President of the United States. If that isn't power, I don't know what is.

>>19504604
Politicians are often good at rhetoric and most of them are dumb.

>>19504619
The President doesn't have that much power, you are still beholden to what the Senate, House and Supreme Court want, not to mention the massive influence banks and media organizations have in the U.S. Look at Trump's fruitless attempts to build a border wall, or Obama's fruitless attempts to pass gun control bills.

>>19503461
Sure it's cringe because of the reference to the ex-girlfriends mother, but it is much, much more cringe in that the manner he has misunderstood the counterargument against eliminativism reveals an IQ that is 110 at most, which isn't a problem in itself, but when coupled with his belligerence and aggression becomes the most tiresome thing in the world.

His analogy completely misses the point. Sure, he could die on the hill that the argument concerning self-refutation of eliminativism begs the question, but he'd have to develop an entirely new non-truth conditional semantic to do so, and he would have to develop this non-truth conditional semantic using non-truth conditional semantic.

Good luck faggotron, your work is cut out for you!

And you say he’s an author? I can’t even begin to imagine the type of schlock he writes.

Celine sperging about Sartre is so funny it becomes based and redpilled instead

In my asshole where he can be found we can’t ask of J.B.S. too see clearly or to explain himself simply. J.B.S. it seems has nevertheless foreseen the solitude and obscurity of my anus...J.B.S. obviously is talking about himself when he writes on page 451: “This man fears every kind of solitude, that of the genius as well as that of the assassin.” Let’s understand what this means...Based on the weeklies J.B.S. only sees himself in the skin of a genius. For my part and based on his texts, I am forced to see J.B.S. only in the skin of an assassin, and even more, of a fucking police informant, cursed, hideous, a pain in the ass, rumor monger, a donkey in glasses. Here I am getting carried away! It’s not appropriate for my age or condition!... I was going to close here...disgusted, that’s all...I think it over...Assassin and brilliant? We’ve seen this before...After all...Maybe that’s the case with Sartre. An assassin he is, he wants to be one, that’s understood, but brilliant? Brilliant tiny turd of my ass ? Hmmm?...That remains to be seen...yes, to be sure, that could blossom...make itself known...but J.B.S.? His embryo eyes? His mean and petty shoulders? That fat little gut... and philosopher!...that add up to a lot of things...It seems he freed Paris on bicycle. He played around... at the Theater, the City [1], with the horrors of the era, the war, torture, irons, fire. But times change, and there he is growing, swelling up enormously, J.B.S.! He can’t control himself anymore...he no longer knows himself...from the embryo he is he’s becoming a creature...the cycle...he’s had enough of toys, cheating...he’s running after ordeals, real ordeals...prison...expiation... the stick, and the biggest of all sticks, the stake... J.B.S. becomes destiny.... the Furies! No more bagatelles... He wants to become a true monster! Now he’s yelling at De Gaulle.

Of course, he did. Why wouldn't he?

German Ideology was a masssive spergfest by marx because he was too autistic to understand stirner's sarcasm.

When she climaxed for the final time, she felt as though she’d been pitched from a precipice, and she heard her own husky shrikes as though from afar, shrill against the thunder and his dragon roar.

Then he withdrew and she felt ransacked, her limbs trembling, her skin numb and cold with sweat. Two of the candles were gutted, but the room was illuminated in grey light. How long?

The golden coin fluttered in his hand, bewitching her with its glitter. He held it above her and let it slip between his fingers. It plopped onto the sticky pools across her belly. She glanced down and gasped in horror.

His seed was black.

“Shush,” he said, gathering his finery. “Say a word of this to no one. Do you understand, whore?”

She stared at the coin and the Emperor’s profile across it, remote and golden against downy public hair and slopes of bare skin–skin threaded and smeared by glistening pitch.

>>19507246
So, has it become the standard for fantasy writers to add sex into their stories just to be mature?

I doubt Kellhus is a self-insert. He is godlike, but he's a pretty terrible person and he inadvertently makes everything in the setting worse. Also he is abruptly killed at the end of the most recent book and I seriously doubt he's coming back.

>>19508254
Did you pay attention to his speech before the sodium explosion? The true war is to be fought on the Outside. The material world is no longer of consequence. He needs the No-God to weaken the Ciphrang as well. It's folly to pretend he would be caught off-guard.

Personally I enjoyed it for the fantasy crusader aesthetic, but I understand why many people dislike the series.

>>19508254
Do you really think that Kellhus was unaware of the White-Luck Warrior and Yatwer when he had a full fucking pact with one of the most infamous and Treacherous Gods guarding his back? Ajokli, The God of Deceit himself!

It was all a ruse from the beginning. He played everyone, Ajokli and Kelmomas included and now he's coming for their asses in the Outside.

I had the feeling while reading the book that it was written expressly for me. It was basically my childhood captured. And since it was an insular and introverted childhood, it felt unique. It wasn't connected with Facebook. I had no idea that I was legion. And so I imagine many other readers felt the same sensation of having a book speak directly to their most private memories and moments. And what could be more cherished than that? It was like having a videogame written for you. Or being able to be cast in your favorite film, playing the part of the star.

A book I'll likely read every three or four years, which I only do for two other works: Ender's Game and Battlefield Earth.

>>19508623
They cannot cope with Bakker's increasing popularity. Joke's on them for making these threads. There are very few books that are as ambitious as R. Scott Bakker's "The Darkness That Comes Before". Most authors would never attempt to create such a vast world with a deeply encompassing and vital intellectual history, and disparate races that have varying philosophical viewpoints and ways of perceiving the world. This novel, while a putative fantasy, is so remarkably well-conceived and executed that it feels more like a historical recollection of a lost world. In fact, Bakker liberally uses real Western civilization history and philosophy (with some aspects of Middle Eastern thought) and reshapes it especially for his world. The result is an absolutely brilliant fantasy novel that elevates the entire genre to a new level. I think you'll like it.

Because we're an evil empire now, you idiot. We're THE evil empire. The rest of the world is required to pay attention to us because we possess the firepower and the unpredictable temper necessary to wipe human life off the face of the earth

Thank god I don't know who this is

If you value worldbuilding, history, philosophy and realism, why even bother with fantasy.

Can someone post Alain botom wishing a lifetime of misery on that reviewer?

>>19510459
>why even bother with fantasy.
I don't, I stopped reading fantasy after Bakker.

>>19510133
Fuck off trannie.

>I stopped reading fantasy after Bakker
Anyone would as well given how horrible his fantasy series is.

>>19511463
No, not really. Quite the opposite actually. Almost everything else felt like shit in comparison. Aside from a couple of authors.

>>19511477
Then read more books.

>>19511483
I'm pretty sure I've read more fantasy and fiction than you.

>>19511483
It’s the same line of reasoning about women reading Harry Potter.

>>19511477
Hello Bakker, you enjoying yourself?

>>19511519
Not too bad.

>>19511486
Imagine the smell

>>19511577
>wow /lit/ loves bakker that makes it based!!!

>>19511619
Does it trouble you?

>>19511630
Of course it does. I wish that I was as successful as Bakker is. My books are way better but I can't get published for some reason.

>>19511596
Kek

>>19511577
I might unironically give Bakker a try if this is true.

>>19511577
>Votes are over a 100
Kek, what a lie. Sffg can barely get past 70 IP

>>19511577
>>19511685

I was there for this. So yeah, it's legit. This was posted on multiple discords and reddit posts too. Hence the large number of votes.

>>19511701
>/sffg/'s favorite author
>Post it on multiple discords and reddit
So, the results are false then?

>>19511710
Are you saying that people's opinions are false?

>>19511577
God Damn. Didn't know that Bakker was this popular.

>>19511713
I'm saying that result can't be /sffg/'s favorite author if multiple discords and reddit voted on it.

>>19503397
Yes, actually. Some retards (low EQ troglodytes, regardless of IQ) take offense if you like their shit outside of their intended context.

>>19511744
Then why do you get angry when girls laugh at your penis' size?

>>19508464
its 2021, everyone could publish their book online if they wanted.

Pic related what eventually made me read Bakker.

>Bakker is a fan of Rick and Morty
Just when I thought he couldn't be more cringe.

>>19511788
He probably self-insert as Rick.

>>19511788
>Yes uh, the attorney here, I'm wanting to fire him

Thanking your for keeping 3 Bakker Threads up simultaneously.

>>19511841
This. I wouldn’t know how shitty he was otherwise.

>>19511844
I'm going to read him and see for myself. Already ordered his first book.

>>19511850
You too? I don't like to judge a book by its cover, and considering the amount of poor discourse around this guy, I thought I would at least give him a fair chance. It's not nearly as bad as some posters made say, I'm actually having fun.

>>19511864
>>19511850
I also started reading him after seeing he was so controversial here. If people are so willing to either defend or shit on him, there has to be something special about him.

>>19503380
Don’t know who this author is, but tell him to hire better shills. They’re obvious.

>>19511881
>They’re obvious.
Pretty much this.

>>19511966
>>19511881
Still reading him.

>>19512001
Yes, we know shill.

>>19512014
What shill? Are you this delusionally invested in hating some random ass author? I'm reading him, unironically, just to see why you hate him and others praise him so much.

Cope.

>>19512020
Based. Haters BTFO.

>>19512020
Not him, but here’s a little tip: try to make it less obvious.

>>19512026
>Not him
>try to make it less obvious.
LMAO

>>19512020
Good for you, anon. I'm getting sick of seeing these threads daily myself. I've read him a long time ago. I hope you have a good time, the books are very good.

>>19512020
Based.

>>19503380
Have you guys ever read fat female bloggers? Because if you haven’t, read them, because this guy seriously sounds like those fat bloggers.

>>19512862
He acts like he’s a teen.

>>19511775
this made me want to read him too. Poor lass, with an reaction like that you know he hit a true, sore spot

>>19512879
Him being a manchild is well known.

>>19512895
Funny thing is that she admits ending up enjoying the books amidst all of that.

>>19503380
What the fuck is a “electronically balkanize society”? Does he mean Cyberbalkanization?

>>19512930
>What the fuck is a “electronically balkanize society”?
Something he made up to feel smart.

>Does he mean Cyberbalkanization?
Yes, and it's something that's been going on since 2001 with much better people discussing it.

>>19512930
His blog is really insightful. He explains everything in detail. You should definitely have a look.

>>19512957
If the excerpts are anything to go by, I really doubt it.

>>19512964
I thought the same myself, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is just resentful cherry picking anyway.

>>19512975
I doubt that.

>>19512975
Yeah, I had the same feeling myself. Where can I read more?

>>19512982
Just google 3 pound brain. He has a very decent blog. Sadly he has been absent for over an year now. People in his close circles are baiting that he will say something before the year's end, but who knows.

>>19512988
