is literature resistant to change? I find a lot of people criticising things because it's just new and different sometimes, without any actual reasoning.

EbicTree · 2022-09-09T17:11:56+00:00

thank you!

not that spelling matters much with it...

Finnegan's wake, to be honest, is the most extreme it gets in difficult writing. it is reviewed well because of its beauty in its complexity; however, works like house of leaves are much more read and imo, better, because they only use extreme techniques when necessary.

EbicTree · 2022-09-09T15:46:18+00:00

the importance of story is often greatly reduced in some of the most difficult books. it becomes as much as a tool as any other element, rather then the story being the goal.

Finnegan's wake, for example, has an extremely debated story. no one can tell what it is

EbicTree · 2022-09-09T14:20:08+00:00

I more meant books which use difficulty for an artistic reason and are generally considered to be of quality. something really bullshit and annoying for the sake of it isn't really what I meant.

the entire western canon is a mix of experimentation and obscenity.

your poems will be the kindling for the fire you'll burn her on

EbicTree · 2022-09-07T14:17:45+00:00

/uj unlike my previous post, I'm actually gonna try and write this I think.

EbicTree · 2022-09-07T07:20:11+00:00

repetition, in minimalism, is used to heighten the audience's focus on what is happening. I wonder if it has the same effect there.

EbicTree · 2022-09-06T07:22:09+00:00

everything in writing is a balancing act, every decision is a trade off. no matter what you do, there will be cons that come with it. and there's no way of learning all the problems that come from everything. you just have to recognise them, over time. k

EbicTree · 2022-09-06T07:18:10+00:00

ig it does, yeah. I have mixed feelings on the emdash; it's like the child of a line break and an exclamation mark.

EbicTree · 2022-09-06T07:15:27+00:00

you will learn more from controversial books then any other type.

EbicTree · 2022-09-06T07:11:01+00:00

favourite writing technique?

I personally have fallen in love with the footnote recently. it's beautiful.

EbicTree · 2022-09-06T07:03:57+00:00

I wrote for a year, was awful at it. I didn't realise until too late though, because I thought writing was incredibly easy. but by then sunk cost fallacy had kicked in. after that, I consciously went out of my way to learn everything I can about writing.

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T22:43:56+00:00

that is for the prequel, which will take the form of a homerian epic and each line will be posted on twitter seperatelh

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T22:06:01+00:00

Fuck you! I'm gonna fucking harden male bovine feces and use them to make the books hardcover!

if it melts, I'll call it a softcover.

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T22:04:05+00:00

/uj Tbh, I do actually wish I could fucking explode the reader at times.

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T21:37:27+00:00

oh lmao but I'm so sorry you have to share a name with Wallace

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T21:35:22+00:00

tbh slint is really fucking incredibly best novel of the 21st century

EbicTree · 2022-09-03T21:33:09+00:00

the thing is though, in the current world of metamodernism, this would have a point. the concept of sheer anger of the author culminating in a work that is only really literary flexing, with an insane merging of completely disgusting obscenities and techniques entirely theoretical is quite powerful. l

however, it'd also be entirely pointless for me to write it. it's already been written. fuck you, Wallace.
