CestMoi posted:It has done this by never having any character be sincere, apart from the crippled and often portrayed as too stupid to think properly, teenager. But don't you see, he's showing us all how deeply insincere the modern American cultural landscape is, it's just a total abyss of phony loving bullshit out there. Only DFW and the members of the exclusive club who read (and enjoy) his books are sincere. Everyone and everything else sucks.

Under the Volcano's fun because it's an alcoholic's diary but occasionally he'll say that one of the character's a sea-captain because he's taking the liberties of fiction.

Hello loving children thread. I'm still reading Moby Dick and i just wanted to say i really liked the part where Stubbs was talking to the Frenchman through the translator and is just roasting him while the translator is trying to make him seem cordial. Otherwise it seems like Moby Dick is one good story mixed in with three bad documentaries. Also kind of surprised that neither Ahab or Ishamael are particularly interesting characters compared to the likes of Stubbs of QueQue or the insane guy who thought he was the angel gabriel.
