Most writers are degenerate as well by your standards, and deviating from the convention is precisely what makes art, even in literature
kys please
He was delusional, like most people. How's this interesting?
>Even if everything goes to shit and I start banging heroin at least I can always come back with a writing career.
>when a degenerate learns to write well
THIS.
If they did not write, society would have rate them as what the were - bums and losers. But somehow society has a blind spot when a bum can write/paint. Same phonomennon is in all forms or art.
>Most writers are degenerate as well by your standards
no, they are not. Mattisse, Dostoy, Kierk, Pascal were all sane persons (yes, they had their flaws) but they were suckin BBD and shooting heroin like a bunch of nasty insects.
this, also hemingway and buk. Their life wasn't a fucking gay circus and their books are great.
WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU SAID TO ME YOU LITTLE BOURGEOISIE CAR TUNER!!!???
Ill let you know I studied literature on most prestigious universities and dropped out after I found out it doesnt interest me. Started writing in early days of high school, learned foreing languages just for fun and experimented with hallucinogenic drugs regullary (most of my novels are written under the influence btw).
Right now Im living in a crappy flat in NY city that is full of books Ive read and fall asleep with a ciggarette and different nasty hipster girls every night (occasionally a different boy – yeah, I dont care, does that trigger your middle class morals? )!
literally, do you even write!!?
does he know?
I tried reading Naked Lunch and it was shocking and disgusting. When I got over the shock it was just a boring list of degenerate acts, like "and then she fucked him in the ass with a dildo, and then she hung him and he came..." etc. I guess the crazy style is cool.
Dostoyevski literally went to a prison camp in siberia because of his 'degenerate' socialist ideas and would by /pol/'s definition be considered a christian cuck later in his life.
He also suffered from a major gambling addiction. Stop trying fit authors into your autistic definition of non-degenerates user.

Spoiled cunt. Dullard junkie.
wait why did he cut off his finger?
this desu
Guys like Alan Moore, Gen-P Orridge and Billy Childish are the definitive realization of modernist project, at this point, their life, art, geography, philosophy and spiritual beliefs have come to such an ammalgamation that they essentially live life as an act of art, though only on a individual level, which kinda makes them failures.
Man you idiots are delusional. Like someone else said, the vast majority of artists are degenerates when adhering to the /pol/d standard.
Because the only way to not be a /pol/ degenerate is being the fucking underground man while you wait for emperor-god Trump himself to deliver a pure white waifu at your door while you shitpost your days away on a tupi-guarani clay-mation webm. news portal and dad drinks more and more.

He graduated from Harvard, went on to do post graduate work, and later studied medicine at a post graduate level.
