is it not more childish to take issue with a word than it is to use it?

i finished mishimas sound of waves and i didnt think it was that interesting. is it representative of his other stuff?
nnot so much, i think you have to bear in mind it was sort of "commercial" in its nature. confessions of a mask plays to a demographic (i guess "people-who-liked-Dazai") but sound of waves i think is a sort of tentative attempt for him to find his precise lyrical voice and it didn't work out quite on point, compounded by the fact that he's a pretty difficult author to translate well. the sailor who fell with grace from the sea is what ppl shd start with imo
I agree and would also suggest "temple of the golden pavilion." both books have hints of stuff that would become more overt in his later writing but both are also concise and pleasurable reads.

one woman told me she found me attractive because i looked like a botticelli angel. she wanted a fat baby angel. i was a jerk to her though.
getfiscal posted:no, it was a lot simpler and boring than that. i simply told her i never wanted to have sex with her and then got jealous of her butch girlfriend and when they broke up i told her to go beg the streets looking for another woman like her. just your everyday drama.
mee-ow!

roseweird posted:an ex-catholic atheist manager
there's the rub i think, all the militant atheists i've ever actually met were refugees from a repressive religious situation. all the cool chill atheists who just like to hang out (like me) either drifted peacefully away from some blue-jeans my-god-is-an-awesome-god church in their late adolescence or were never raised religiously at all in the first place
so all the hating on goony atheists is really just class privilege mixed with the reckless use of triggering mythologies

roseweird posted:tpaine while i was in college and working at a coffee shop i had an ex-catholic atheist manager, whenever he'd ask how i was i'd talk about my studies and like i mentioned a book i'd read for my ancient near eastern religions intro, "did god have a wife?" talking about the history of yhwh's pairing with asherah/anath/etc. blah blah and as soon as i said the title he snapped at me "no. there's no god" and wouldn't let me talk about why i thought it was interesting, just kept repeating "there's no god". which, ok, i'm ok with people believing that but it's weird when it's reactive. basically if you can't hear people talking about religionw ithout getting angry you're probably militant. if when people ask you about your religious beliefs you politely explain them and have a calm discussion in which you and your partner share your thoughts and backgrounds, then you're not a militant
that guy seems really cool

If we go way back, Dante. He admired Beatrice from afar... there's nothing to show he ever even spoke to her, and he met her twice in his life (meetings a decade apart), but she was the inspiration for the Divine Comedy and his poetry.
