I may tell you about the epic poem I've no idea when I'll get started on. (Kinda given up writing for an indefinite period of time.)
[********] Tolstoy! How many goddamn pages does it take to describe some miserable saps sitting on a bench waiting for a train? I especially hate it when antiquated literature gets bogged down in lengthy inner monologues Mother ******** worked sixteen hours a day six days a week and they jabbered in their heads THAT much? I always was amused by Kipling's ejaculations, though, being a boy and probably never going to quite grow up.
Camus' The Stranger (which inspired the Cure song "Killing an Arab" wink and The Plague are the ones I read and are fond of.
Kafka just needed to actually finish his books and hire a good editor. You know, I found one of those things at the nearby streetcar stop, but as it was missing the power cord I decided to sell it on Craigslist ... for beer money, go fig'. Ever read Camus? I think I rather like that guy! Not gonna touch Proust, though! Seven ******** volumes! Sounds like a Beijing phone book, to me!
And, yeah, it's funny how people can turn trauma-induced dysfunctions into lifestyles. It's weird, because I view that sort of thing as being little different from addictions, yet the only people praised for being drunks and junkies are musicians, and even then only from a distance and occasionally.
