Whats good story technically?

A million dollar best seller perhaps. Like how does each pages collectively adds up to the sales number

 No.5166

A good story connects emotionally, psychically, and intellectually. It should be absorbed rather than consciously consumed, like viewing someone else's dream.

It's one of the only good manga that are blatantly aimed at zoomers. But if you compare it with something aimed at a more mature audience from just a few years earlier like Golden Kamuy - which only preceded the manga adaptation of Goblin Slayer by a couple of years, the difference in writing quality immediately becomes apparent.

Which one is his best book in your opinion, /lit/?

 No.5081

I'll ask again, which one of his books is your favorite ones and which one you dislike the most.
I've read the The Passenger yet, but people tell me it's trash just like Stella Maris.

 No.5083

>>5081
McCarthy is "Southern Gothic" in the line of Faulkner and O'Connor. This genre observes the destitution of the Civil War South. McCarthy is artistically and politically closer to Faulkner who I dislike because he was a liberal. O'Connor was a real Southerner and the better writer. Faulkner was very performative in his Southernness. He leaned too heavily into his celebrity status. McCarthy was a liberal up until No Country and the Road.
Blood Meridian is overrated. The language is artsy and pretentious. Melville's Moby Dick thematically dominates the book. It really is a transcription of Moby Dick onto the Wild West. Melville was a nigger loving Yankee and McCarthy prepares room in BM for some nigger triumphalism.
No Country takes Blood Meridian and inverts its racial moral dichotomy while also emptying BM's rhetorical contrivances, all of which gives the book a more realistic effect. It's my favorite.
ATPH and the whole "border series" are strangely innocent books in the context of McCarthy's work and were obviously written for mass consumption. He needed the money and it brought him a lot of public recognition.
I haven't read his two latest books and may never will if the tranny character rumor I heard is true.

 No.5111

Well, I brought some William Faulkner books yesterday. I still want to read Blood Meridian.
Give me a recommendation of the best books of O'Cooner and the ones you like the most of McCarthy, without being No Country for Old Men.

Overrated "genius"



File: 1623374025669.jpg (739.59 KB, 1209x1465, 1209:1465, Gustav Freytag.jpg) ImgOps Exif iqdb

Written in the middle of the 19th century, Debit and Credit (AKA Soll und Haben) by Gustav Freytag is a very interesting work. It was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed German novels ever written until 1945. Supposedly wealthy German fathers would buy it as a gift for their sons when they reached adulthood because of it's encapsulation of Prussian middleclass values. The reason it fell out of favor after WWII is because of it's negative portrayals of Jews and Poles, although not all Jews and Poles in the novel are villains. The main story is about a young German businessman who gets caught up in a struggle between a declining Silesian aristocratic family and Jewish moneylenders.
All the social and political aspects aside, it's just a well written novel. It strikes a unique balance between romanticism and realism which makes it very enjoyable to read if you like old literature.

I need some recommendations from romance noir, fantasy and philosophy.
Also anything "redpilled".

 No.4979

>>4976
>philosophy
Johann George Hamann's Relational Metacriticism by Gwen Griffith Dickson. She's the only modern commentator of Hamann that understands him instead of trying to turn him into something else and the book includes translations of his most important treatises, some of which are the English translations in existence.
For reference, Hamann was a German philosopher from 18th century who hated the Enlightenment thinkers of his day and spent his life btfoing them. He was also adored by Goethe and Kierkegaard.

>Christian stuff and woman stuff

>>4983
It's not theological or apologetic writings. Hamann was a philosopher who happened to be a Christian like most people were back then. Most of his treatises are critiques of Enlightenment rationalism on philosophical grounds. The references to the Bible and Greek mythology are just allegories to show absurdities of his opponents views, like in the Socractic Memorabilia where he uses the language of a false idol to demonstrate how "the public" isn't a real entity.
And I recommended Dickson's translations and introductions because I think those are the best ones in English. There is another collection of translations by some guy from Cambridge but if you want to read that instead. He's just general philosophy professor rather than a Hamann scholar, like Dickson, and it's clear he doesn't understand a lot of Hamann's writings though.

Wow, I made a lot of typos in this post. Too many even to correct. That's what happens when you don't eat a J Balvin meal everyday. You should still be able to grasp what I'm saying.
