You will be supporting Jordan Castro (a known 4chan user) when his sophomore novel, Muscle Man, comes out in two weeks, won't you /lit/?
You did also read The Novelist, right /lit/? You were able to appreciate Castro's Bernhardian and Nicholson Bakeresque influences?

You did suck my cock, right Jordan? You were able to appreciate my veiny member on your tongue and my hairy balls in your mouth?

Jordan Castro is white.

You really should read The Novelist. It's a great read. One of the few novels that really gets the internet age right. 4chan is always complaining about contemporary novels not being able to capture the information age in a realistic manner, well The Novelist does that.

I did read The Novelist.
The summary of my thoughts is an excerpt from it:
>It was all, in large part, half-formed sentiment and navel-gazing drivel, seeming more to have dribbled out of the author’s mouth than been penned with any intent.

I wrote a review, but that expresses it well enough.

While it had its occasional moments, I did not care for The Novelist.

You are disgusting, Gabe.

I hated the Novelist. This is a Brat board, Jordan.

I did, however, read Woodcutters (good) because of the Novelist, and while I can see the parallels at a glance, the Novelist is a boring, shallow slog.

Leave Gabe alone.

He doesn't look like that anymore. He's obese and looks like a gayer version of JonTron.

Damn this would be tremendously unsurprising considering how much the summary sounds like a smarmy parody of people who don‘t want to be around faggy contemporary culture.

Who? Nietzsche? He wrote a whole book about the science of sucking cocks and taking dicks up the bum.
