Is NFP inspired by genius or just plane madness?




I think both. Harly any difference, really.

Excellent little review. But the debate remains: Is NFP inspired by genius or just plane madness?

That was quite an ending NFP. This novellete is certainly out of this world...

The monstrosity that is (typical of) NFP should go unnoticed. !!!
I for one, fear the day when pakistan will wake up from its hypocritic slumber and look itself in the mirror. Lets just think of the cake while we dont have bread. Lets just continue with the fable of the bomb and the escapism of dil dil pakistan. Let not the delusion slide, for when the heroinchee speaks of his delusions he forgets that he himself is one.

You are not stupid at all. Your first post was by far the finest analyses on Acidity here.

I quite agree with you. But by saying that this sort of genius is only aprreciated after death may also mean you do recognize NFP`s potential for genius. I do. And it`s nice to notice there others who do so too.

NFP is a highly origenal writer. Maybe his true potential will be hailed after his death but there is no denying the fact that there are many who are convinced about his crackling talents. Like I said before, to some he may come across as a genius. To others he will be no more than a druged out mad man. But never is he average, ordinery or midiocre.

ALAS! THE MAN FINALLY SPEAKS! Congrats SuzieLightening. Now I wonder what us mortals got to do to get a response from THE MAN.

If your`s a serious question, then I believe he was arrested in 1986 and released in mid 1988 after Zia died in a plane crash. He was I think also tortured by the pakistani intelligence and arrested for spreading ``Communist propaganda.`` The first time he was arrested for arson. I was told this by a college friend of his. As for you suggesting that this sort of genius is only recognised after death, well some of us here would differ. I think he`s a genius and quite alive.

P.S: The profile claims that the gentleman was imprisoned twice by Zia. Question is who let him out?


Perhaps the same person who sacked you in?

This kind of genius only gets recognized once the writer/painter/bootlegger has kicked the bucket.

later

Brothers -

Being the headstrong ignorant that I am, I didn`t care much about the `method` NFP employed. I liked this piece beccause it was completely nerves, no flesh and bone. It cut as it caressed. It was a gorgeous, gorgeous mess of words. One of those things which are three standard deviations beyond the mean. But I`m just repeating myself...

Maybe I am stupid, stupid, stupid and ``delusional`` to think how think. But I certainly wouldn`t want others to analyze that. Apparently, we`ve got here a bunch of smart alecks who argue too well.

PunjabiZulu and whoever else differs, is free to do so just as I am free to like this. At the risk of sounding redundant, allow me to remind you that this debate and our less-than-savory rhetorical behaviors are pretty pointless. No use in making futile attempts to beat one another up in these silly games of mental volley. In the end we`re all going to go home with the same brains that we came with.

Be bop a lu la...

ps. NFP, you`re still a rock star.

Dear NFP,
Acidity is a very important work... it shouts and screams and cuts at what is thought of as unspeakable.... i`m sure its
making many a reader scratch their head, which is a good sign.... (better than scratching their arses)... it could be that
its a bit too advanced for the Duh Generation... the wannabes will jump on the bandwagon because they wannabe
cool like NFP... others will close up even tighter after reading it...
I totally agree with SuzieLightning`s first reply.

Lost cause, SuzieLightening. The man hardly replys. The only time he did something to this extent was on Acidity Pt:II. Anyway, why need NFP, when we have geniuses/rock stars like PunjabyZidee, I mean, PujabyZulu?

Here are some examples of delusions, from the gems below...

``I think you`re a rockstar. This is good stuff...Your work is both saintly and perverse and that, I think is rare...some people think NFP is genius...Acidity is a very important work... it shouts and screams and cuts at what is thought of as unspeakable....``

SuzieLightning

Maybe he is busy cutting some things up...
