amy ireland and myung mi kim in poetry
houellebecq is ok but more so as an event than as a writer which is more notable maybe
i like jean luc nancy and nick land as philosophers and some others in all those areas but that's enough i think

Question. Are there any modern writers who have the depth of character psychology that Dostoevsky does? I've already read everything he's written and I need more.

The head of the English department at my university has some wacky theory that Pynchon died some time in the early 90s and that all the books that have come out since we're written by a council of young writers that Pynchon selected and trained.

Elliot Rodger died on May, 23rd, 2014, shooting a bullet to his own head.

His manifesto made him immortal, though.

Dude's a comedian at times.

"They have their Gothic moments, I mean, Barak's about Hope.. but if he's removed from the situation, suddenly all hope has been sucked from the room. Just say Obama trips over a skate board and breaks his neck... where's the hope?"

The head of your English department is a fucking retard. His two best works (Against the Day and M/D) were written after this supposed 'death'. Not that I'd expect an academic blowhard professor to actually read anything aside from gravity's rainbow and Tcol49

It's an old meme. Like the other one about Pynchon actually being a pseudonym of Gaddis'.

Though I've heard he worked on Manson & Nixon and Against the Day since his hippie recluse days in the 70s and only finished them as late as he did due to procrastination.
