Well. Giovanni's room (a really good book) is a somewhat superior, somewhat inferior version of (and directly inspired by, evidently) Genet's 'Our Lady Of The Flowers' (also a really good book). But this ruins the climax almost completely if you've read 'Our Lady.'

Sartre wrote No Exit in 1944. A decent idea executed unspectacularly. Then in 1946 Genet wrote Haute Surveillance, which is also about Three People Locked Together in a cell but a million times better. I would also spend the next six years trying to psychoanalize him.

artists are so....... Sartre might have written a 800 pages long book analyzing Jean Genet's neurosis that basically made Genet stop writing forever, but the fact remains that Sartre's prose & theatre both try and fail spectacularly to be as good as Genet's.

Graham Greene is such a funny author. He prefaces The Third Man with "You might not like this story because it's bad because it was just the first draft for a movie script" and then it's one of the best pieces of text I've seen in my life.

I’m always saying about why Pathologic is good is because the cast is entirely made up of archetypes. Characters are summaries of people and archetypes are summaries of characters, so they have maximum legibility while remaining vague.

i wouldn't say i'm an aestheticist but art for art's sake is literally fine. there can be no beauty out of context... beauty always has a context which is that we live in a hideous world that's only worth living in because it can also be heartbreakingly beautiful

this is why you shouldnt believe what you see on the internet. It was actually closer to 50 years. His name was Porphyrios, he actually caused the creation of entirely new trading routes just to avoid him and was declared enemy of the state by Justinian. He is the hero we need.
