Hey /lit/ I'm trying to get through the cannon and I really want to get to this bad boy. What's the required reading for this? Any secondary authors that can really explain the theory here? Any booktuber reviews I can watch first to get a feel for what I'm getting into? What's a good audiobook site, I might want to listen while I follow along? How many pages should I read a day, this seems pretty challenging and I don't want to overextend myself? Do girls read this book? Do girls understand this book? Will reading this book get me a gf? Can someone give me a quick rundown first? What edition should I get, I want a good looking edition to show off on my bookcase? Are there any good erotic scenes in this book? Where should I start with the author? Redpill me on the main character? What's your favorite part? Got any memes on this book? Is this book /lit/? Is it kino? What did the author mean by this? How influential is this book? Could you draw me your favorite scene? Based or cringe? Boomer or zoomer? Doomer or bloomer? Does anyone have a pdf of this? An epub? I checked project Gutenberg but I didn't see it can you give me a link? Paperback or hardcover? Is this an instruction manual? Was the author being ironic? Was he being laconic? Is this post-modern? Lovecraftian or Kafkaesque? Landian or Moldbugian? Accelerationist or deccelerationist? Autistic or schizo? Incel or tranny? Volcel maybe? Has Kantbot talked about this book on his podcast yet? Has Redscare? BAP? Would Trump read this book? What would Marx think? Would the Church approve? Would Hitler approve? Is it /fit/, /pol/, or /o/? Will arthoes suck the goody goody googoo out of my teenyweeny bobeeny if I make the pose with this between their buttcheeks? What does butterfly think of this book? Is this alt-right or alt-left? What are some other books with this vibe? What am I in for?

You need to learn Sanskrit, proceed to the Hellenic language, and then learn classical Chinese. Once you are fluent in these three languages, you must be initiated into the mystery religions in both the West and East and spend at least three decades cultivating your mind within these brotherhoods. Finally, maybe, just maybe, you'll be able to unveil the eternal secrets of Clifford.

Clifford is A 2-year-old male red dog whose appearance, disposition and behavior are based on a giant dog. His size is inconsistent: While he is often shown being about 25 feet (7.5 m) tall from paws to head, Clifford can appear far larger. The character's name is based on the imaginary childhood friend of creator Norman Bridwell's wife. We can already infer that Clifford is Bridwell’s wish to be cuckolded but not just by any man, but neither by something man can control or is “his best friend”. Clifford is God in the authors mind, his homogenized desire at once his wife in her prime, 8 years old, her child hood “friend”, and the love and physical affection between her and the Big Other. Bridwells hatred was originally unmasked, and it seeps when we realize that in the beginning he wanted to name a dog "Tiny", but Bridwell's Own wife persuaded him that "Clifford" was better. Clifford's pet owner is Emily Elizabeth, and Clifford has a mother, two brothers, and two sisters. The psychological doubling as well as the one left put, the one who the story is about yet is the only non-human, void of all humanity, an anomaly of nature itself, an impossibility oc size, shape and color, betraying its own logic to roll over it’s own perversion, that is Bridwell himself. The infatuation is something premeditated within the image form itself. Clifford's character was created when a Harper & Row editor advised Bridwell to write a story to go along with one of his pictures. Bridwell recalls she picked out his sketch of a baby girl with a horse-sized bloodhound, and casually said, "There might be a story in this" because there always was one. Of course he knew exactly what she meant by “horse”. Clifford is a big red dog/God, both to “his“ wife and for his “wife”. Wife, horse, w-hor-s-e
