The review he did of this 39 years ago was extremely poor. He had essentially nothing to say beyond something like an unironic "whoa dude, dark stuff." Perhaps he's gotten better.

You're referring to R.C. Waldun, yes? Going off the beaten path and doing that collab with Cliff Sargent really was his downfall; now he's discarded his instinct for good books and is reading Cliff's favorite hot sick like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Story of the Eye.

>> No.16946576

>gives long-winded plot synopses he cribbed from Wikipedia with almost nothing in the way of actual analysis or criticism
>mostly jerks himself off about how worldly he is and how hot his Oedipus complex partner is
>literally steals most of his recommendations from /lit/ and wants to become "the Anthony Fantano of books"

Waldens actually had a kick in the teeth from us so he's probably not as cringe anymore. He's said he's stopped the ambition to "be one of the greats" and is now writing for fun. And said he's realised that he needs to live a life

Imagine knowing of youtube and using it for something this trite. Follow some passive income flatliner, and not get lost in the weird, lucid dream of it.

Based. The English language is full of meme booktubers whereas in Spanish we have el Maestro whose videos are always critical and never hesitates to call the viewer a faggot.
