Is Cliff right? Is sex and death the only two things worth writing about?

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 21 05:39:03 2017 No.10052046 I unironically thought this exact same thing when I was around 19 years old. There's a book of literary criticism called "Sex & Death" which is pretty popular IIRC

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 21 05:41:04 2017 No.10052051 That seems like a terribly edgy thing to say. And how the fuck do sex and death equal life, that doesn't even make sense?

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 21 05:43:00 2017 No.10052054 >>10052038 Its contrite and self fulfilling notion. People like to have sex and people are going to die, its literally impossible to have a story that doesn't contain either
