It didn't withstand the test of time.

It was for midwits, by midwits.
Midwits take 10-15 years to realize something is midwitted.

Sad and true. Still, RIP DFW

American lit is a meme.

Inb4 muh blood Meridian is great

No it's just OK.

>>>/lit/

Can I get a photoshop of the cover that says “Infinite Jeets”?

>>509723363
Blood Meridian is a degenerate male rape fantasy, I am not reading that garbage. Same with Stephen King. Steinbeck, Hemingway, those are worth reading.

it was prophetic
I don't enjoy reading it though, the writing is so noisy and annoying

bleak: this generation cannot read, and the next will be even less literate

Kill yourself my dude

>>509723512
Angelou, Fitzgerald, also worth mentioning. Plenty of great American literature. Filter out the Haram to get the good stuff.

>>509723512
King was on the reading list DFW made his students read

NIGGER LOL
YOU READ NIGGERS AND THINK 'WOW THIS NIGGER BE SAYIN' SUMN'

this thread is going to be for 105IQ fags to jerk themselves off about being able to read words

It was an okay sci-fi story.

I only read it to impress this cute ballerina who was studying philsophy, didnt even enjoy it and I grew up playing tennis

Pretentious drivel -- a supposedly great writer I'll never read again. Prefer Delillo or Pynchon

>>509723682
Man why the fuck can no midwit ever read some midwit trash and conclude:
"oh this is for midwits".
I've never seen 1 fucking 105-120iq midwit ever half any level of self-reflection or self-awareness to correct any opinion they have.
Your first fucking takes on anything are gospel to your little fucking dumbass barely-above-bicameral minds.

This applies to every single aspect of every culture worldwide.
If a work of art depends on profanity it lacks the merit to stand on its own.

You post like you have severe brain damage. Unvaccinated I bet

>>509723731
>Pretentious drivel -- a supposedly great writer I'll never read again. Prefer Delillo or Pynchon
You can tell Pynchon is actually intelligent even if you don't like his work.
Anyone with a high IQ can tell that "David Foster Wallace" is for midwits.

Nah I start thinking about WHY someone is asking me to listen to a NIGGER lmao.

Dumb nigger lol

>>509723641
yeah but only because he's dabbing on commercialized fiction
look at the rest of the list
he's being ironic

>>509723962
You should stop doing drugs. You can't see the damage, but it's noticeable.

"When I read niggers I feel very smart."
Evaluate that statement in the mirror, you FUCKING MIDWITS.

>>509723649
Angelou is a great storyteller, her work shines in setting scenes and in baring authenticity. As a Southern man I can see her stories in my mind. That language is also Haram. You come off to me as a degenerate to be honest. Look at how easy it is to set you off, it's the same trick zionist politicians pull on you every four years.

Could be a bot. Deranged/stupid either way

>>509724009
>ad hominem, again
>"surely THIS time it'll work, the little nigger thought to himself"
How about having something to say instead of shucking and jiving like a nigger?

>>509723250 (OP)
No. House of Leaves tier.

>>509723250 (OP)
I tried reading it because I saw that one interview with the author (which also aged a bit). It wasn't a difficult book; just thoroughly unenjoyable.

>>509723512
Moby Dick is also quite good. Even if it is kinda gay.

>>509724053
>ad hominem, 5th time
>has nothing to say beyond "I'm smart and you're dumb that's why I am smart and you are dumb"
At this point I'd just beat you upside the head for being a dumb nigger.

>>509724058
This is a bot.

>>509723964
>he's being ironic
no he wasn't

>>509724098
>everyone who makes me look like a stupid nigger is a bot!
Stop using ad hominem for everything you say, you FUCKING DUMB NIGGER.

The 90s was the last time people cared about books written for adults and not adult children.

>>509724016
The ebonics chapter of Inifitite Jest is very cringe and unintentional comedy. Great nigger baiting stuff.

Anyone? I'm too lazy to search.

>>509724288
It's a memeflag kike I just hate when they think they're not midwit niggers.

>>509724327
Go read THE VAGINA-ASS OF LUCIFER NIGGERBASTARD if you like dumbass shit.

>>509724112
jesus dude, just read one of his fucking books ffs if you think this is a serious list
he expresses extreme disgust for these types of trash commercialized "novels"
he's being ironic, that's his whole schtick

>>509723606
>Angelou
wtf
get out

>>509724098

You got some humor there!

>>509724400
He's being a midwit.
>uh, my list is all dumb things
"that's fucking dumb"
>it's IRONIC, actually
"wow that's so midwitted!" (midwits will say "smart" because they think anything on their level is smart)

>>509724783
>>509724400
midwits

>>509724783
of course its dumb but you don't need to be even dumber and think that he's being serious

>>509724925
>ad hominem with no argument
Please ask your parents if they can have a very late-term abortion.

Taking people at face value when it makes them look stupid is the correct move if you dislike them

>>509723250 (OP)
Anything that gets normies and bros to read is probably garbage

>>509725026
being ironic makes him look stupid all by himself
on top of that he killed himself
You're not going to make him look any worse than he already made himself look lol

>>509725139
What about the time he wrote a short story about a kid doing LSD called "SICK PUPPY" because he is a FUCKING. REPUBLICAN.
Lololol, the dude was a leftist clown and killed himself the moment he had a single bit of self-awareness. Bandana ass-bandit.

>getting to the end
>hyped by the building tension
>20 so pages to go
>instead of a climax DFW starts telling the long-winded backstory of some irrelevant side character
it was kino thougheverbeit

>>509725139
>>509725224
He wore the Bandana because he thought with the long hair that he looked like "a woman" (his words) and took it up the ass.
A proto-troon midwit drug-addict who *ACKED* as they do.

>>509725224
yes thats what I'm saying
imagining he's a normie instead of an irony hipster leftist does him a favor

>>509723363
Yeah cause jews are so good at writing literature, huh?

>>509724098
No, you are a pathetic approval seeking weakling who in all communications emotes as if an audience of admirational peers is observing you. A slave to ghosts you cherish. Here is some misspellling for you to confirm that no, no bot has deemed you worthy if OpenAI credits.

>>509723641
He was teaching an MFA programme not an English Lit programme.

He isn't being ironic at all. There are lessons to be learned there, his prose style is spare and emphasises emotional connection (if you think SK are about monsters and shit you've missed the point).

Its only that you are terrible zoomers that you don't know what Jackie Collins novels are or you'd have picked up on that (bonkbuster porn for women).

IJ is just fine, the weird cult around it is a problem but fortunately restricted to American universities. DFW was a great writer, a terrible terrible liar, a barely functional human being and would have been #metoo'd into next year if he'd lived (see D.T. Max "Every love story is a ghost story"). Certainly no guru.

And people accusing him of le irony should read The Pale King.
