>Daily reminder that Bukowski is Burroughs-über-lite.
Agreed 100%. That Bukowski is seen as pleb-trash is nothing new that regular posters here would already be well aware of, the Bukowski spam must be a butthurt redditor who recently started to post here.

>Daily reminder that Burroughs is infinitely more complex than Joyce.
Also true

The Soft Machine belongs at least around 3,4 or 5 and is much better than Junkie and The Wild Boys

Soft Machine, Ticket and Nova Express are basically the same book anyway. It´s clear they come from the same manuscript. I would have included Exterminator.

Daily reminder that NOBODY in the so-called "Beat movement" is worth reading.

But Burroughs was the Beats' black sheep.

hes his own movement. the beats crowded around him adopting what little they can.

imagine reading this faggot
amen

kys my friend

bill b is actually pro frog.

Burroughs let his close friends rape his son as a child and he later killed himself. Burroughs murdered his wife so he could have more pederastic sex. All of Burroughs stories are schizogenic with pedophilic undertones.

>Soft Machine not #1

>Daily reminder that Bukowski is Burroughs-über-lite.
I do not agree. Bukoski isn't even in the same universe as Burroughs, further they have basically nothing in common except being different facets of what is sometimes considered the "quintessential American writer."

what does this mean user

>pedophile literally (literally) just copies and pastes random lines from newspaper articles
pseuds: "whoa, this is really smart and complex!"
most notable people he influenced: Kurt Cobain (pseud), Frank Zappa (pseud), Alan Moore (pseud)

>Kerouac successfully combines the spontaneity of jazz and Joycean poetics in order to contemplate God and join Him in his infinite majesty and love
sinceres: "you know, maybe there's something to this guy"
most notable people he influenced: Pynchon (sincere), The Beatles (sinceres), Nobel Laureate who won the Nobel Prize for Literature Bob Dylan (occasionally sincere)

based. FUCK THE BEATS.

I would have agreed with you 100% but you insulted Alan Moore :(

Kerouac wrote the same novel every time he wrote something more or less.

Reminds me of the Dalék song that samples burroughs

Reading Naked Lunch right now after finishing Junky, and jesus christ is it really pushing the boundary of comprehensibility in its use of beat slang. Would be nearly incomprehensible if I hadn't read junky first. Amazing so far.
Ballard would like to have a word with you.

>Implying Pynchon doesn't suffer from the same literary problems as Burroughs

Daily reminder Burroughs was a hack and a murderer
Daily reminder Burroughs was a son of privilege
Daily reminder Burroughs was not gay
Daily reminder Burroughs regurgitated Rudyard Kipling filtered through Celine
Daily reminder Burroughs was the darling of spoiled, selfish Boomers who sacrificed their children's futures on the altar hip, edgy debauchery, just as he did

thats exactly why hes also a jingo imperialist

>Daily reminder that Bukowski is Burroughs-über-lite.
At least Bukowski wasn't a sodomite degenerate.

>this motherfucker really is swinging a sword.
>shit I need to read this faggot asap

Burroughs basically pissed on Islam in the Naked Lunch. the reason they didn't issue a fatwah against him was that he was also a known gun enthusiast, collected them, fired them on a daily basis, and Salman Rushdie was just an easier target.

they claimed Burroughs as one of theirs, but Uncle Bill never played the bongos while wearing tea shades, a beret and a goatee beard. Burroughs was too out there for anyone to claim. he was his own literary movement.

correct response
ignore all beat threads

they're the hot topic of literary movements: cool for edge-lord teens, quickly outgrown, remembered with embarrassment, mocked by adults

>Burroughs was
>a hack
No.
>a murderer
That's pretty cool though.
>a son of privilege
Debatable based on your definition of "privilege." These days the term could mean almost anything.
>was not gay
Ok.
>regurgitated Rudyard Kipling filtered through Celine
A more learned reader would say Conrad through Gyson, but whatever.
>was the darling of spoiled, selfish Boomers who sacrificed their children's futures on the altar hip, edgy debauchery, just as he did
If that's boomer life I'm alright with it.
