Thread 24850245

What is your favorite novel, short story, or poem from 1925 (the year which some have called “the greatest year of literature”)?

>>24850245 (OP)
just looked at the Wikipedia page '1925 in literature', and the only ones i've read are:
>Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway
>Franz Kafka, The Trial
>William Carlos Williams, In the American Grain
i've never seen In the American Grain discussed on here, it's pretty interesting.

Thank you for your paranoid racism, Mr. Buchanan.

How have you not read Gatsby? Everyone has to read it for school.
Might as well knock it out now before the year’s over so you can get in on the centennial celebratory fun:

I have recorded 3 things that I have read from 1925:
The Great Gatsby
Mockery Gap (T.F. Powys)
The Heart of a Dog (Bulgakov)

Probably Heart of a Dog has stuck with me the most.

Les faux-monnayeurs
Paulina 1880
Der Räuber (Walser, written 1925, published posthumously)

>yes its true
yeah man, we know
all of us, ALL OF US, have had to thoroughly dissect every paragraph of this novel in high school, so we know its contents, there’s nothing about what’s on the page that’s a mystery to us
also that book is just brought up to be mocked, hence why only tom buchanan, the racist douchebag loon of the group, is the one singing its praises

Ion even really fw Gatsby like that. Shit was mid asl. Uncs obsessed over sum chopped huzz for a bill and sum change, nahhh, generational simp'n.

My favorite novel is Mann's The Magic Mountain, my favorite short story is Wells's The Time Machine, and as for poetry I have a strong attachment to Stevens, Moore, Bishop, and Crane. I was born in 1963, and not particularly literary until around 1997, familiar as I was with subjects like very long baseline radio interferometry, stellar evolution, and corporate intrigue--courtesy of my dad.

Seneca is also curiously near to me, nearer than anyone else in the ancient world.

Damn film really can't compete as an artform.
Almost every single great movie is just copying a book.

I will always read and recommend our friend PG Wodehouse.
