What has he done for me lately?

junky was ok. his automatic writing meme didn't make for very interesting writing.

Brilliant. His nova trilogy left a significant impact on my thinking.

I'm finishing Naked Lunch right now. Read it a few years and couldn't get into it because of the lingo. Read Junk and Queer, got used to it and holy shit, I love this book. Very much to starting the Nova trilogy soon, how would you compare it to Naked Lunch?

*very much looking forward to

he's a guy in this stupid chat

Stylistically it's quite similar to naked lunch, but it's also exceedingly more ambitious. Naked lunch is a prelude to nova's schizophrenic symphony. Enjoy.

wtf, not available in my country
fucking GEMA
what the fuck

what a character!

Great writer. If only he could have managed his ambitions more efficiently he could have easily written a spiritual successor to Finnegans or Ulysses.

Exactly my opinion

>someone got my funny joke
a good feeling

Degenerate drug-addicted faggot who murdered his wife and sucks at writing.

scatterbrained, narcotics induced hallucination under the guise of profundity. He took this concept to paper and scissors. Reading too much into it.

Well, he's a writer.

So you've never read his nova trilogy?

thank you for producing content for this board

Queer > Junky

they're not really comparable

Loved Junky, Queer was an interesting one too. Now, as for Naked Lunch, i don't really consider it a book, so to speak. It's an abstract concept, that just happen to resemble a book. Full of nightmare/dream imagery, symbolism and a feeling of things more than a coherent narrative. In any case, i enjoy opening it some days, a random chapter at a time, when i need a certain literary kick, so to speak, to kickstart a new prose project or to get into the proper state of mind for a paranoia fueled poetry.

The Nova trilogy was a bit too much for me, but none the less enjoyable
