Slaughterhouse 5?

fucking gilmore girls

>each chapter has a """clever""" title instead if just a number which, in so few words, attempts to summarize it

In englisch i likely wouldn’t do it, since the language isn’t really suited for nuances. The quote is there to give the normal reader something that sounds good to start with and the esoteric reader a help how to truly understand it.

What the hell?
Starting a book is one of life's greatest joys!
Its like seeing a beautfil girl who really activates your almonds and speaking those first smiling words to her as you stare into each others glimmering eyes before you realize shes not very smart, and shes not very good with commitment, and her daddy "did things" to her and her ex is of nonwhite lineage and she has a penis

> book doesn't start with a quote

Actually, not really. The narrator is paraphrasing the thoughts of the Internal Author, but that's not exactly quoting.

i started my novel with a quote from De Sade:

"Justifying his turpitude with equal amounts of cleverness and effrontery, he loudly proclaimed that his poltroonery being nothing more than the desire to preserve himself, it were perfectly impossible for anyone in his right senses to condemn it for a fault."
- De Sade, "The 120 Days of Sodom", re: the Duc De Blangis

i thought i was describing the antagonist, but it turned out to apply to the main character also.
