Fuck you Veeky Forums

>winner of Nobel prize for literature announced
> ishiguro
> Veeky Forums's collective response in the immediate aftermath........"who?"

This is why nobody respects you anymore. Even if you don't particularly like the man's work, even if you think he's a hack, you'd have to be a pleb of colossal proportions to have no idea who he is.

How the fuck can you not know who Ishiguro is?

Veeky Forums of yesteryear would have known who he was immediately and torn him to shreds accordingly.

what went wrong?

If you spend more time watching yootoob videos than actually reading books then you need to leave

Siht

This. We're just here for the goofs, my guy. It's just a big ol prank dude.

I want Rousey to arousey me by squeezing me into a chokehold and beating me off, cutting off the blood flow to my head just as I'm about to cum.

Nobel prize, you say? I was expecting Skrillex to win tbph.

I've only ever seen the name in some /sffg/ image.

I will post again and say that lit should read his book The Unconsoled. It’s the one true heir to Kafka.

>caring about modern writers
I'll get to him, don't worry. It'll just take a few centuries.

it really is a great read.

I applaud your endeavours and hope they have some impact on the brainlets of Veeky Forums, however, I suspect your efforts will be in vain.

I hope you enjoy pic related and apologise in advance in case you are a homosexual or a girl.

this is a fake list, stop posting it

>How the fuck can you not know who Ishiguro is?
Only brainlets care about contemporary literature.

you sound dumb

The old Veeky Forums was good at analysing, and the reviews were always interesting. I had stopped coming here because people’s thoughts here were so interesting they were foolish.

are you a faggot?
only a faggot writes like that unironically on an anonymous board.

I only read the classics from the western canon. I dislike forming my own thoughts on a book and luckily I don't have to do this with the classics....critics have been cogitating and digesting these works for eons! I can easily find out what these novels are about by reading wikipedia, spark-notes etc.
From this I am able to pass off other people's interpretations of a given work as my own for social capital on weeb image posting sites (I'd love to say that I do this irl but the truth is rarely socialise with anyone outside my immediate family who aren't remotely interested in what deosteovsky was trying to portray in notes from the underground etc).

I don't even know what book I would choose to read from contemporary fiction, never-mind what I should think about it.

My mother still breast-feeds me. I'm 37

honestly, this place has become a bore. maybe it has always been, but for so many people to either not know who Ishiguro is and/or make dumb jokes about this ignorance is really just fucking lame.

Dis +1

why is it fake?
looks pretty solid

Made by 5 autists on a discord. 2016 list was made over 1.5 months by an user with an open document showing the vote numbers and books

you know you've been autistically spamming this for like 4 months but all you've convinced anyone of is you're mad cause you tried to ballot stuff and it didnt work

I don't care about these lists. I'll vote and look at the top ten, and that's about it.

>over 1.5 months

fools on you, i didnt even vote

I have seen multiple threads dedicated to him over the years and there seems to be a 1 out of 5 chance he gets mentioned in a thread about Japanese literature and the confusion some anons have with not realising he's British. He's hardly some darling of Veeky Forums but he does get mentioned.

I can't say I could recall the name off-hand, but I immediately recognized Kazuo Ishiguro in this morning's headlines as that deceptively British author who successfully helped a quarter century's worth of Britons understand what it means to have once had Empire.
Note that I'm an American with several years of /a/ under my belt, so it's no mean feat that I recalled this Japanese gentleman's name among many.

Or rather, this gentleman's Japanese name. My apologies.

of course the manipulated list

Who tf doesn't recognize shiguro, he's easily one of the most recognizable people in contemporary lit

There was an time Veeky Forums was respected?

What do you expect from a board, where plebs unirocally discuss Steven King on a regular basis? Come on.

Your pick is literally Steven King of Orthodoxy.

It's literally >mfw and nothing else.

rupi kaur is the most posted about poet in Veeky Forums's history

when I tried to start a thread to discuss the poetry of tennyson I was promptly told that he was a lisping nigger who's boxing accomplishments were overrated .
They weren't joking.

One sentence in the picture is correct. Find it.

Who should we ban and who should we block to restore the quality of Veeky Forums?

>Veeky Forums
>no Lolita
Ask me how I know that this is fake

this guy gets it

just shut it down

you have a thing for this man dont you?

this board is over boys, get over it

>tfw you'll never date an orthodox monk

fake chart

if it makes you feel better

reminder that there hasn't been a 2017 \lit\ list yet.

Shut the fuck up, pathetic cuck. You have the mind of a spoilt child. You will never be anything, no one will ever respect you, and Veeky Forums isn't going to "respect" some author you like, purely based on
>MUH FEELS

i don't believe op professed any admiration for mr ishiguro.

are you illiterate?

it's not actually a poll, though the prankster did run a poll to create confusion and thought the results had been kept hidden
