Which is the Inception of literature?

Novel idea, decent execution but shallow as a puddle and loved by Reddit midwits? Probably Book of the New Sun

A book that when you open it is an ass farting and shitting

The Manuscript Found In Saragossa
>dream logic
Finnegans Wake

>The Manuscript Found In Saragossa
Fuck, I wanted to post this.

>dream logic
The Mirror in the Mirror by Michael Ende is better as a dream logic book

inception ripped so much off from neuromancer it isnt even funny
i have yet to see this be discussed though

it ripped off paprika

based saragossa enjoyers
are there any books with a similar structure? it should be at least 3-4 layers of storytelling
melmoth the wanderer is the only other one that comes to mind

>>24633635
God, Melmoth was such a clusterfuck. It would also be a good Inception equivalent

>>24633405 (OP)
Cortazar's Rayuela has both dreamlike realism and mutidimensionality

>>24633405 (OP)
Uhmmm... The red book?

>>24633635
Cloud Atlas, Mitchell
Nest of Worlds, Huberath

Note: I haven't read either, can't vouch for their quality.

>>24633405 (OP)
Need book on Jedi mind tricks from redditor pov, le elites, drug abuse, sneaky chink riddles , sexo with qt student and chasing ghosts of past.
No, its totally not Gravity's rainbow

>>24633420
So House of Leaves?

>God, Melmoth was such a clusterfuck
How so? The story wasn't confusing to follow
Pic related is a chart showcasing the book's structure, I might as well post it

>>24633968
Thanks, I haven't heard of Nest of Worlds

>>24633612
>paprika
which it improved

Ubik. all the modern iterations of this type of story can undoubtedly be traced back to PKD, despite how much more conventional although more polished and focused the offspring may be.

alain robbe-grillet - in the labyrinth

>are there any books with a similar structure? it should be at least 3-4 layers of storytelling
The Garden of Seven Twilights has 9 layers

>>24634379
eh, disagree, it made dreams feel grey and sterile (like nolan's mind).

>>24634437
this one looks interesting, thanks

>>24635157
god damn, this one seems like it's right up my alley, i think i'll start reading it very soon, thank you

>>24634110
I was looking for this one. The varying fonts, perspectives, and the loads of creativity in which the book is written... This is the peak recommendation.

>>24635223
I was mainly referring to the farting and shitting.

>The story wasn't confusing to follow
The switching between the layers aren't marked that well. Literature scholars have said this as well. Also, that chart does look like a clusterfuck.

>>24635272
if melmoth the fucking wander is enough to get you filtered, then i've got bad news for you

>>24633405 (OP)
>Which is the Inception of literature?

>>24635273
I didn't say I got filtered. I said the author wasn't very good at writing.

my diary desu

>>24635864
the switching between layers is easily noticeable and the story isn't confusing to follow
this is why i said you got filtered

>>24633968
You are worse than ChatGPT

What is actually bad about Inception? So what if it borrowed from other films? It's still unique and interesting, especially in its ideas about the role our subconscious plays in identity.

>>24636746
Nothing. It's a great film. Weebs just want validation so they keep bringing up Paprika even though it's not at all similar.

>>24636750
Yeah I mean if you want to rip on a Nolan film, choose Interstellar. Now thats actually hot garbage disguised as art.

>>24636751
Cope. Interstellar > Inception.

This BTFO any anti-love kek.

>>24636807
Even the guy making this video admits it’s not science, it’s poetry. That’s fine for a theme, but don’t pretend it’s as grounded as Inception’s psychology. This shit might as well be occultism.

>>24636824
Tbh I'm surprised you actually warched the video.

>>24637013
I read the transcript

>>24637040
Autistic.

>>24633405 (OP)
arguably much stranger than Inception.

>>24635157
I'll bet The Troiacord by Miquel de Palol (English translation 5 vols.[?] 2027?) is going to be more mindblowing than The Garden of 7 Twilights.

the man in the high castle and ubik unironically. dick fans stay winning
