Pleb Filters
>fuck people who study and preserve these things for a living I'm obviously superior because I'm a manchild who can only express himself through cheap stereotypes and memes
>Salinger
In my experience Salinger has been fucking excellent pleb filter. I've made many girls cry and several men pretty uncomfortable after reading A Perfect Day for Bananafish.
The parts where Seymour talks to the little girl and then his sudden suicide always get people. They always think he's a pedo and then are shocked and horrified by the suicide, and then confused when i try to explain the story.
i fear that unless something is done, this is the future
Do you mean that if you're going to stay a manchild if you don't do anything about it?
Who would've thunk
why would you read a book with dick on it's title are you a faggot or something haha fucking pleb
t. assblasted brainlet who didn't read moby dick
Hate to be that guy, but a good deal of female authors, mostly because of the "women can't write" meme:
>Emily Bronte
>Virginia Woolf
>Alice Munro
>Mavis Gallant
>Gertrude Steine
>Eudora Welty
>George Eliot
>Elizabeth Bowen
>Toni Morrison (she's good, get the fuck over it)
>Flannery O'Conner
>Jane Austen
>guaranteed replies
Djuna Barnes too
I remember reading this in elementary school. Why is it such a meme on lit? Did some closet nazi recommend it or something?
