Why should I have expected it to be in Punjabi? No, that really would take this ``novellete`s`` pretentiousness, pointlessness, meaninglessness, and pomposity to another level.

Imagine writing such derivative pseudo-artistic supposedly avant-guard rubbish in Punjabi; it would have a certain comedy value, I suppose.

William Burroughs was a sub-standard writer in the first place. A sub-standard imitator of a sub-standard writer is just...well...you work it out.

Pretentious, pointless, meaningless nonsense and garbage.


Why PZ, were you expecting it to be in Punjabi?

riffat:

It is not that this is too high-falutin` for readers of this website. It is just that they recognise pompous pretentiousness when they see it.

Ah, the ever controversial NFP has finally returned. Read all of Acidity. Loved parts 1 & 2, which I think were most insanely wonderful. I found the final part a bit luckewarm though. However, luved your comeback interview at http://www.bandbaja.org/issues/002/
Good to see you aknowledging chowk for you come-back from your painful solitude and reclusion. Hope to see you more of you here.

I think NFP ALREADY has became a pakistani kerouac/ginsberg with ACIDITY ... a wonderful example of electrifying experimental writing but which wasn`t really understood by most chowkies. But those who did get it luved it. Keep it up NFP.

Chaos out of chaos. What order? I believe that`s what NFP was trying to convay through Acidity. Ingeniously done, sir.
