What if I just want to shitpost instead

>all those Nietzsches
Oh, do minor essays count now? Do poems in a local paper count as well? If so, I got myself covered.

>thinks he compares

way to be triggered

>Falling for the prodigy meme

You poor thing

Dante was 14 when he finished the Comedy, which was published in the following year.

Nabokov

Holy shit.

>uses buzzwords like patrician to filter out any successful writers that contradict his false claim

Gene Wolfe published his first book at the age of 39. He is the most brilliant and patrician living author who writes in the English language.

Case closed babycakes.

oh it shows

Hahahaha OP. You're as worthless as the instagram scrolling social media fiends. You literaly are like 90% of young people, with the most inofensive and mainstream view ever. The belief that if you haven't published anything by the time you're 25, you're worthless. It says a lot about your mindset lmao. The instant gratification plebs. The mass culture consumers. The monetized ''artists''. Pathetic. Truly pathetic because these people don't even want to admit that Art takes hard work and dedication, so they'll excuse themselves by the time they're 25 to become the mindless drones they always were. Patrician? LMAO, you're the most depressing piece of garbage consuming faggot the world has ever seen. Go eat whatever young ''artist'' shat recently.

I can't believe people are this dumb on a literature board. OP made a list of the worst publications by the best authors, which proves he hasn't read a single work by any of them. Else he would know the 'works' by nietzsche aren't even published.

>got buttfucked by a middle aged alcoholic by the time he was 16

Truly a precocious talent.

My god, the amount of mental gymnastics people go through to justify their lack of talent. It never gets old.

Lmao I'm a 20 something signed musician. Goodbye

>literal who's

Please give me more, I almost have a copypasta's worth.

H o m e r

>copypasta's worth
I'll gladly help you compile bits of texts for you to become a young talented meme artist. Oh you savior of humanity, prolific author of memery. Bless us with your instagramable art of great cynical amplitude. Thank you based memer.

Take heart! It's never too late to begin, friends.

Citizen Kane's glory has mostly to do with Welles' crew, led by seasoned cinematographer Gregg Toland, who was in his late '40s. Kane is what it is largely because:
>Welles had never made a film before, and was unfamiliar with cinematic cliches established in the '20s & '30s
>Toland instructed Welles' crew to never say no to him, nor to ever tell him what was and wasn't possible in a film
>Welles had had a fairly remarkable theatre career, particularly well versed in the works of Shakespeare
>He had a blank check
Not to say that it isn't a serious feat, but Welles had one of the best production teams in history and an unprecedented amount of control over the film. Listen to his interview with Peter Bogdanovich, it's a great insight.

you mean 55...

Why do people bother replying to this garbage?

What? You mean it took him 14 years to write, finished when he was 55. Is Google down today?

>soon submitting to be published by oxford
>its in the scientific literature
>does this count as published author?

Because they know they're not going to make it

Why did you?
