Anyone else have the post spaz out when you hover over the filename?

>>12562964
Certainly not Ketchikan Alaska.

>>12562964
The woods.

>>12562964
Oxford, Mississippi or Iowa City, Iowa

Nowhere in America that's for certain.

Pick two. There are no /lit/ cities any more. Bug men are everywhere.
/lit/ life now is living in rural America, destitute and pennyless

>>12563032
Growing up in Texas I can always relate to this routine.

>Iowa City, Iowa

I've heard people suggest this before but never understood it. All American states worth a damn are in direct contact with an ocean (though not necessarily vice versa)

You won't find any here

>>12563467

That's because, as you demonstrate with your youthful arrogant ignorance, you know nothing of the country of which you speak.

>>12563481

lmao, I try not to associate much with a nation of warmongers

>>12563490

So, you abdicate the argument. Well done.

There's your problem. True /lit/ tier is a small isolated cabin on the northern slope of Alaska, occasionally chatting with passing Inuit hunters and generally making Thoreau look like a little bitch

Boston
Concord, MA
Charleston
St Paul
San Francisco
Marquette
There are lots of /lit/ cities in the US

>>12563595
>San Francisco
Ew, no thanks.
I'm going to assume the rest are shit too.

>>12563613
It was up until 30 years ago, Mark Twain wrote a lot there

>>12563618
>until 30 years ago
Ahh, yes. I see this 30-40 year range every time I see a comment on youtube or newssites about SanFran.
I would've personally chosen Barstow, Sequoia, places like that. Quieter closer to nature's wrath. Truly poetic places. Philadelphia for its train junctions; It's the crossroads of America in my opinion. Connecticut? Dreary and dull. A place a true novelist could write a noire in this modern day time. I want to go to the northwest and experience their isolation. Until then.

San Antonio has a lot of quiet, small-market publishers and as such has created its own little literary environment down there.

Good town, though I fear for it if the border isn't secured.

>>12562964
Las Vegas

>>12562964
New Orleans

>>12563595
Seconding Boston and Charleston

>>12563577

Y'all don't even /trv/.

>>12565532
Am I missing something in Miami?

>>12563031
I know it's 'officially' a literary city, but the writers workshop hasn't produced any decent writers in the past 40 years, and most of the writers I met there were more interested in posing like writers than actually writing. One WW grad I met was proud that she got a job at buzzfeed after graduating

>>12565532
>miami
lmao

>>12563054
Then why is the literature scene the most prevalent in urban areas?

>>12562964
memphis

>>12565627
Ah yes, the abounding young adult literature scene. It's not like city-dwellers have readily access to social capital, individuals, and so forth to disseminate their written works through so that it means they're much more likely to be published regardless of quality, and on top of all this have a much higher concentration of bourgeois individuals. Oh wait...

>>12563490
Then you should despise the coastal populace

Burlington, Charlottesville, R-Durham.

>>12563467
>Iowa City, Iowa
It's true. Their writing program is among the best

>>12565532
miamifag here. it's one of the least /lit/ cities in the us, just behind las vegas prob.

>>12565935
you wanna have a lan party

>>12562979
>Monterey
>Baltimore

>>12565900

R-Durham -- bullshit. Most of the really good bookstores closed down years ago. Now there's mainly leftist drivel shops.

>>12565399
you’re not alone brother, I too, am a member of the /k/lit/ masterrace

>>12563577
True /lit/ is living in a bus and dying from eating random food
