Pretty sure we outed Pound as a hack several threads ago. Prove me wrong
A hack is someone who does the same shit over and over again in order to win money. There’s no money in poetry.
Ezra Pound fucking sucks
All you need is the Bible. What you posted is completely superfluous literature published in the past century.
Missing Jonathan Franzen
Reddit moment
I guess David Foster Wallace is reddit then
He’s in our meme trilogy and le problematic for redditors because he fucked young women and throw shit at a woman. Franzen is what they love to read. Safe, boring, sterile, bestseller.
Substitute the cantos with the maximum poems
Eliot mogs the other two hard…
How can you even compare poetry with novels (Gaddis)?
Eliot is one of the greatest writers to ever live in any language, but Gaddis and Pound are not
Define greatness
Search it and stop acting all Socratic as if you don’t understand what I mean
I don't know what you mean because if you mean a dictionary definition of "greatness", Pound also qualifies. So you must be using some arbitrary definition of greatness, which is why it was asked of you to define "greatness". But keep being dishonest.
I'm not him, but the one in the dictionary is also arbitrary. That's not important; everyone in this thread probably has a decent idea what someone means when they write that someone "is one of the greatest writers to ever live." That sort of statement is not going to be evaluated by looking up definitions, it's going to be evaluated by the argument that comes with it. So look for an argument, not a definition.
Toilets sucks ass
Meh I don't thinks so, most of his ideas as a poet and critic were thanks to Pound.
Yes senpai
The Bible
Don Quixote
The Divine Comedy
All a man needs. All the rest is vanity or Anglo propaganda.
You’re really melodramatic aren’t you
>the bible
>vanity of vanities, all is vanity, Eccles. 1:2
Umm
Yea…?
Isn’t the implication that the bible itself is vanity?
>all Cretans are liars
>t. an honest Cretan guy
Cellini’s Autobiography
Casanova’s Autobiography
Van Gogh’s Letters
What am I missing here that places this novel alongside Eliot and Pound? Shouldn’t it be Wyndham Lewis or something?
Some delusional English student.
Are you talking about yourself?
No, I’m a stemchad.
Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau
enough for a weekend, not for a lifetime.
Ah, yes. When I’m thinking of the novel I want for a lifetime I want long, drawn out hipster artist parties. This book gave me flashbacks to The Guermantes Way. TR needed an editor badly
I agree. Also I’m not OP.
You have no idea what the job of an editor is
3 books for pseud credit? Then you want the meme trilogy tbh
>boomer pseudbait somehow continues to fool future generations
Imagine getting filtered by modernism
When did “boomer” just become a generic term for old? Every fucking word is more meaningless every day.
So what exactly do these three things have in common? I've only read The Recognitions.
Did Pound and Eliot hate America? It seems to me they spent most of their lives and careers larping as Europeans.
Eliot renounced his American citizenship and became British but I don’t think he hated the US. He said he was inspired by his childhood there. The literary scene of his day just happened to be in Europe.
Wilhelm Meister
Gargantua & Pantagruel
The Upanishads
The tertiary reading I've done of Pound really didn't impress me. I don't throw around 'pretentious' but his poetry exuded it.
recognitions is the only one there that’s worth a shit
It’s actually the worst book there.
I’m reading JR right now and just finished Steppenwolf. Worship me you non reading fags.
