don't even joke about the brapmeister

He looks like he's about to pass some Gass

It's not a joke man. But more importantly, will he be going to heaven?

He's actually dead, lads

Good riddence

For those we care, here's a great picture of a late Gass next to Claro, his french translator

Let's be honest. The only reason this guy ever got attention here is because his second name sounds like a fart

That's bs considering all this board can actualyl talk about is engligh-language modernism.

>here's a great picture of a late Gass
doesn't look late to me

FUCK

Reading The Tunnel right now...did...did I kill him?

what is it with all the koth posters

2 years old, go cherry-pick somewhere else ffs.

KotH is an american classic, just like all of Gass' work

what is it with all the kot posters

you filthy mURDERER

R.I.P. America's foremost prose stylist :(

FUCKING JOHN ASHBERY AND NOW THIS
WORST YEAR OF ALL TIME

>tfw never got the chance to read the tunnel

fuuck rip gas we hardly knew ye

how to make it to 93yo while being a disgusting fatass (no afence)

Mods, this man deserves his own sticky thread. Rest in peace, William Gass. You were America's foremost prose stylist.

you're full of hot air man

full of gass

feelsbadman

Who'sth'?

Where should one start with this absolute motherfucker?

In the Heart of the Heart of the Country. Or Middle C

Take it the fuck back.

This sucks desu. He’s a legendary Veeky Forums author.

I remember the original Gassposter, who memed I and many others into reading The Tunnel.
For all it’s flaws it’s a still a brilliant and degenerate magnum opus.

RIP Gassman

The Gass has passed indeed

F

I love you papa
you will be missed

Also his essays are fantastic

In the Heart of the Heart of the Country -> Omensetter's Luck -> Cartesian Sonatas -> Eyes -> Middle C -> The Tunnel

late like your sense of humor

Literally who?

Completely agree. Are Mods asleep?

I've only read his essays and short fiction but he will be missed.

FUCKING STICKY THIS ALREADY

>prose stylist
I barf a little into my mouth whenever I see one of you soyboy pseuds write these two words.

I thought that was a pic of my grandma for a sec.

Your grandma is NOT America's stylishest prose foreskin. Get lost.

t. pathetic nationalist cuckboi

Pass gas to pay respects.

As if using the words 'soyboy' and 'pseuds' wasn't bad enough, you didn't even recognize the 'foremost prose stylist' meme. I take it you don't spend much time here.

>During this stage, death is only somatic and it lasts for one to two hours. All the muscles of the body begin to relax soon after death.
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

damn

I kek'd more than I wanted to

Gassposter here. I’m devastated. If mods don’t sticky I’ll be spamming threads for the next several weeks. GASS WAS A REAL ONE ;_;

I am laughing on the goddamned bus (at the thought of Gass's ass passing gas).

>What I have to tell you is as long as life, but I shall run as swiftly, so before you know it, we shall both be over.

;_________;7

Fuck man, August Ames and William Gass in the same day? I don't think I can handle this.

His soul is finally released and is wafting upwards through the air, one final emanation forever diffusing, one last billowing ripple, now gone with the wind. Float in peace, Mr. Gass.

DOCTOR ZAIUS!

F

Based BRAP poster.

That's weird, I just started to read him. RIP
Anyone think he has enough legacy to be remembered?

Legacy enough to get a GODDAM STICKY. MODS!

he's one of only noteworthy english writers in the entirety of the twentieth century, so yes

Thanks for killing him, asshole

>one of only noteworthy english writers in the entirety of the twentieth century
This is a terribly wrong statement.

F (This means Fart, right?)

You could say:

Gass passed away

...

august ames and william gass all in one day

absolutely

hope billy braps got succ in the waiting room

>august ames
were they real ?

(... but honestly, were they ?)

F

Hmmmm . . . Maybe they were the same person?

legit sad. i liked middle h and the blue book. what are some of his other top ones? always wanted to read omensetter

rip americas foremost prose stylist

just get all his fiction senpai, there's only also check out his nonfiction "Reading Rilke"

Now THIS is the best Veeky Forums conspiracy

wtf i thought you all were memeing but he's actually dead

Foremost essayist as well.
F

Oh

Yes. Right?

Magas' Fall

RIP

F

magus'***

I just hope the Gass passed painlessly.

I don’t know who to even believe anymore

Bite your fucking tongue

>no sticky

wow

What do the mods have against Gass?

dunno

I guess Veeky Forums doesn't care

Why are the mods being such gigantic faggots? Gass was one of the greats and deserves a sticky. Even ignoring his brilliance as a writer, his status as a meme should get him there.

...

it takes the mods almost three hours to delete porn in /tv/
I doubt they even look at Veeky Forums
if I get warned for this post without this thread being sticked then the mods are illiterate fags

If mods don't sticky a Gass post I'll post 50 Gass threads every day for the foreseeable future to make sure we don't forget.

Why would you get warned for your post?

>thinking mods browse Veeky Forums

The reason they don't sticky things here is because we keep it to one thread. Stickies are only useful for when people are making 40 threads about it and will get hundreds of posts. Meanwhile we are pushing 60 replies here

the mods are like 18 and vindictive

Ashbery and Gass...

>useful
I bet you're a dusty brit.
