/lit/ - Literature

Hell yeah man, I ordered mine on Thursday

>>10760959
It's good quality too. Surprised I'm first considering I'm in Australia

>>10760978
When did you order it anon?

>>10760983
4 days ago

>>10760978
>tfw seeing an anon have a published book open to a page of my writing

>>10760959
Truly a wonderful artifact.

>>10760995
>I will, in short time, have a book of published material that I have (partially) written in my hands
It feels so fucking good lads, we can all make it

Somebody link me so I can buy this piece of artwork.

That ain't English.

sure wish publisher anon would put this on amazon

>>10760959
>>10760978
Show me the dialogue on fetishes

>>10760995
It's because I love Les Boche, and of course:

>my conversation about pregnancy fetish will outlive me
Feels existential bro

I’m very excited. Should get here by Wednesday.

>>10761103
At least you will live on, Anon

where can I order mine?

/lit/ sends a record of our writings into space fucking when?

btw what ever happened to the ready player one novel lit was editing?

>>10760978
the title should be les bocheS, since it is plural

>>10760978
First of all how the fuck did you get this before me?
Second of all shit it actually looks good, might just go ahead and put it on amazon
We /golbal/ now lads

>>10761143
meant /global/ obviously but fuck it we can be /golbal/ too

>>10761137
Thanks man, ordered it. If this is a success we could start getting some /lit/zens published

>>10761141
it's a sort of mix of the french and english as english soldiers often referred to the germans as "the bosche" referring to the collective

>>10761103
H-hi bro

I was one of the anons you were talking to, the one who originally posted the smut

>>10761103

>I was one of the writers of the Zizek erotic fan fiction arc in hypersphere
>tfw I didn't even know the thread had been capped and transcribed into the book until I saw my section mentioned in the Amazon description

>>10761143
Is Lulu based in aus or something? I got the print notifcation after 2 days and it arrived 2 after that

>>10761188
I was only 17 when my phrase "communists ambulocetus" was published. The tongue in cheek smut that followed has been immortalized while my body, the heights of my emotions, and my deepest passions will wither and be consumed by the dirt.

pdf where?

>sign my own copy
>tell my friends I got the author's signature
All I need is some friends and I got a good inside joke

Ive been away for the past month, why is this book being meme'd here lately

>>10760959
>>10760978
How is the spine and back cover?

>>10761639
The whole blurb is in French, or more likely, some butchered amalgamation of French and gibberish

>>10761706
Why do my images keep rotating 90 degrees. Phoneposting btw

Can anyone give a sincere (i.e. unironic) summary of the book? Is it an actual narrative, or is it a bunch of unconnected sections written by different people?

>>10761725
The latter. Some are very good and sincere (Les Boche stands out), some are very random and humorous such as the Socratic Dialogue on vore fetish, and some are just schizophrenic ramblings. Theyre all unrelated, but have connections such as "or was it yesterday" and things like that

>>10761630
I can be your friend anon, I also already laughed at our inside joke

>>10760959
Just ordered my copy lads, lets hope royal mail doesn't fucking lose it.

>american literature

Has anyone ordered from LuLu before?
Do you know how long it will take for a delivery to Europe?

>>10761730
There's also mini narratives within the narrative itself, like The Tapir saga and the adventures of Uncle Gumshoe

I completely missed the writing of this! Nice work guys!

>>10762288
Me too. hope we do another one or I'll never achieve my dream of becoming a published author...

>>10761826
Took about a two weeks for my Hypersphere to come:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/anonymous/hypersphere/paperback/product-22517627.html

>>10762288
>>10762293
Lowkey I was the OP for L'Anomie and I've been thinking about starting another one so stay tuned

>>10761103
Nobody will remember your joke attempt at making literature because it's a joke, and you know it!

Can someone give me a quick rundown?

>>10762502
/lit/ solved existentialism in one book

Other than this and Hypersphere, is there anything else /lit/ published in physical form?

>>10762502
It's all parodies of more or less well-known literary works, shitty inside jokes, and depressing attempts at being taken seriously. So basically the most accurate expression of present-day culture thus far.

>tfw after 8 years, /lit/ finally has a meme trilogy of its own

>>10760959

how do I order one?

>>10762647
Tundra is IJ
Hypersphere is GR
L'anomie is Ulysses?

>>10760959
rotate the pic you douchemonkey

>>10762947
I think Tundra is Ulysses, Hypersphere is IJ (most concerned with pop culture), and L'anomie is GR

>>10762977
I've never read GR, is it more coherent than Ulysses? Because L'anomie is easily the most coherent of the 3

>>10763049
GR is coherent but sometimes hard to follow. It's the only member of the trilogy I've read so I can't really make any comparisons.

>>10762947
This seems correct

>>10763049
They're all about equally incoherent.

>>10763079
Legacy is completely incoherent
Never read Hypersphere desu
L'anomie is fairly incoherent but has moments of lucidity and an actual plot

>>10763106
I was talking about the original meme trilogy. But /lit/'s meme trilogy is pretty incoherent, have only read parts of the first two two but l'anomie seems the most 'coherent' since it's by far the shortest and has the most obvious connecting theme (parodic existentialism).

>>10761314
Can't tell if the terrible French titles are ironic or moronic.

>>10763138
Both

>>10760959
why are some of my quite humorous edits missing? wasn't everything fully restored after the trolls deleted everything?

>>10761073
Hahahahaha

>>10762647
What happened to dreamscape?

>>10762647
Are there pdf's or epub's for all of them or just lanomie?

>>10760959

tfw your contribution made it in.

>>10763221
You can "buy" a kindle version of Totalitarianism in a Tundra for free on amazon I'm pretty sure

>>10760978
>oui
>OUI

>>10761711
Same thing happens to me. You using clover?

>>10762306
If you do you should give an overall theme like this one had existentialism, imo it helps keep some coherence that adds to the humour

>>10761826
I ordered from Lulu, I'm OP. Its the only place to get the physical copy as far as I'm aware

>>10761770
Anyone have PDFs of the other two?

>>10762952
>>10763416
Just using chrome and taking a photo within the browser. Maybe if I took the photo with a different app and upload it, then it would be oriented correctly

Some parts are legit good desu
The wojak pepe play was garbage tho
Nice work senpaitachi, I will probably steal lots of little things from this creative mess for my pomo 2000 pages masterpiece

>>10763462
Next one should be modernism so anons step their prose game up

So which order should you read the trilogy in?

>>10763555
Chronological would be ideal I guess

>>10763537
>The wojak pepe play was garbage tho
I thought it was one of the best parts desu. Makes me wish /lit/ would take up a play project.

>>10763537
I'm currently writing a short story of about 10k words and if I get stuck on something like what event should happen next or what word to use, I'll skim through a random part of L'Anomie and it just gets the creative juices flowing

>>10763544
This is a good idea

Epub when? I need to read it on my tablet while I'm wageslaving myself to death

Copypasting a section that unfortunately did not make the cut. The next book should be titled "Tractatus Niggerus PhilosophiCUM"

Tractatus Niggerus-Philosophicus
The nigger
(1.1) Built himself a cage
(1.1.1)Yes
(1.1.1.1.1)YES
(1.1.1.1.1.1.11.)The nigger is in ((you don’t own them) my the wife)

(100) Do you see now? Mr. Anderson. It is only the dream it always was.

>>10763654
That part was dumb and deserved to be excised

>>10763544
I like this idea, but I think we shouldn't rush into anything. There's a reason these things only actually make it to print every two years or so.

Its a real description about the artistic movement of capturing shit posting in published form

i have seen this book memed a ton on here but never clicked the threads
Did /lit/ write this? is it a collection of short stories?

>>10763717
oui
OUI

>>10761706
>the blurb is written in (B1-level) french
>"L'étranger" is mentioned with its english title

So many layers of irony. It's a labyrinth of ironic references so unfathomable you would never be able to guess if there's something valuable hidden in it.

it already was a trilogy

>>10766979
The threads were up for about three weeks

>>10766990
My eyes must've filtered them by accident, they probably looked too memey, or too french

>>10766979
Miami was pure trash

Hahaa we're sooo ironic

>>10763777
You're retarded, it's written with french mannerisms so was clearly written by a french person intentionally deforming phrases

Just got my copy. Cheers lads

>>10760959
Saw this book here yesterday and ordered it, gonna be the first book I seriously going to read, hope it's great.

>>10767751
>intentionally deforming phrases
Yes. I got that. I was being ironic myself. And don't call me retarded, that's very rude.

>>10767777
I don't think L'anomie is a very good starting place for getting into reading, bro.

>>10768248
I am not trying to get into "reading" if what "reading" you consider is reading books.
I am already a well-read human being, however, I never read books.
From the description that I saw on the shop page about the book, this one actually looks like it would be worth my time as a book.
In fact most of the things that i encounter in life look boring to me and dull, I guess we could call those things "normal", but that is rarely the case with the things I encounter on this website called 4Chan.
I think i will very much enjoy reading this book that /lit/ is sharing with the world.

>>10768308
>I am not trying to get into "reading" if what "reading" you consider is reading books.
>I am already a well-read human being, however, I never read books.
m8
Also a lot of this work is inside jokes and literary bullshitting. You probably won't get much of it if you have literally never read a whole book before or engaged with /lit/.

>>10768390
>Also a lot of this work is inside jokes and literary bullshitting
Good, that's exactly something worth reading about in a world filled with seriousness.
>You probably won't get much of it if you have literally never read a whole book before or engaged with /lit/.
I am not looking to benefit from this book, and I have read few mandatory books in school years, none of the satisfied my mind as they were written in a serious manner.

>>10768424
No I mean it probably won't be as entertaining or funny as you expect. There's some stuff in there that's good on its own, but still not nearly as good without knowing what's behind the joke.

>>10768446
I might research the inside jokes as I read the book, would you be willing to share the origins of the jokes in the book?
I guess even without understanding the inside jokes I will still enjoy it, I'm kind of a fan of 4Chans work, even reading something that you don't understand can bring joy knowing where the book came from.

>>10768248
>he didn't start with the /lit/erati
Smh

>>10768495
>would you be willing to share the origins of the jokes in the book?
Sorry but you'd probably need to be a whole companion book, like getting that the first chapter is a play on a Camus book and 'Les Boche' having an allusion to an obscure child's poem that became a meme on /lit/. Now that I think of it /lit/ projects really are exit-level, in the sense that they're the complex and conclusive culmination and sublimation of works that come before them.

So, who's going to do the audiobook

>>10768616
>complex and conclusive culmination and sublimation of works that come before them
No, it's more like taking a nasty shit after having eaten a lot. You wouldn't call the shit good just because the food was good.

>>10768622
Get bloom to do it

>>10763537
>wojak pepe play was garbage
Are you kidding

>>10768984
I never said it was good at all.

>>10768424
this book is supposed to mock the lack of seriousness of this world. its a satire of nihilism and existentialism

Anyone going to send it to Cliff?
We could send it to the Bookchemist too.

Kind of sad how many anons skipped the L'Anomie threads because they saw something that looked French. This deserves more exposure/sales.

Is this funny or childish?
Not sure if i should buy.

Just purchased two copies, and the price was very agreeable. Fantastic.

>>10769933
It is simultaneously the most adult and most childish work of art ever created
