Acidity - Novellete Part III (final)

PunjabiZulu, you are a rockstar.

riffat
It is about the writer`s attempt to utilise a sub-standard writer`s methodolgy to juxtapose random images to impress easily impressed people with pretentious, posturing prose.
These people are easily impressed by derivative writing as long as it is dressed up as ``post modern cut up method``.
In tribute to you i shall now post my review of this Novellette using the post-modern cut up method.

Zionist nymphomaniacs sh1t on an Arab boys face. Beardo says NikeJihad: Just Do It.
Coca-Cola is the stretch marks of Neo Con slave trade. A Hindu masturbates in the spoon of Pindi. The brahmin p1sses on a shudras face.
We are the Chosen Bees says the Rabbi.
I am the wood pills, i twat in your come, says the Mullah.

Please call me a rock star too, SuzieLightning

NFP -

I respect you for rising above these brothers here and remaining mute while they bring in the scale and measure your intellect in cups and ounces and pints.

I think you`re a rockstar. This is good stuff. Better than reviewing odd Tulsi songs if nothing else. This stuff is so mindbending that the first time I read it, I was coughing myself into fits. Then it gave me a headache. Later I realized that getting a pounding headache from something like Acidity is far better than getting one from a cheap, short-lived acid substitute e.g. glue. Your work is both saintly and perverse and that, I think is rare.

Cheers.

Opinions, all opinions, Zula. And why are you the one asking the questions when you just refused to answer my initial qustion:?Le me repeat it again: Tell me if you can, what do you think Acidity was all about (WITHOUT using the many adjectives u have already used)?

Correction to post No.15

``the person that writes an 18th century Victorian novel in the present day.``

should of course read....``19th century Victorian novel``...

May God have mercy on NFP. I belive he needs help. Instead of thinking of him as genius or mad , what we need to do is try to help him out of this situation. Lets all pray for him.


A true NGO (now that`s what you are, right?). Think about your own situation, buddy. According to your member profile u claim to have worked for an American NGO in Kabul. What were you distributing? Levis jeans (for the crippled), Big Macs (for the hungery) and Swiss chocolate (for the bitter)? Thus, why don`t you help ALL of us out, brother vicegerent.

~ And some like you think he`s a jerk~

I do not think he is jerk. That would be sheer insolence to insult somebody personally because I do not rate their writing. All I said was that he is not a genius, that the idea of him being a genius is laughable, and that the ``post-modern cut up method`` is a nonsense dressed as art.

~~ what do you think constitutes good literature. Jane Eyre? I too am open to persuation.~~

I read Jane Eyre when I was in high school. I can hardly remember it. But you mention it as though it is not an example of good writing. Why is that? There are many writers who I think of as good. Would you like me to list a few of them?

One thing I do know is that the ``post modern cut up method`` and the sheep who use it are as derivative and second hand and conservative as the person that writes an 18th century Victorian novel in the present day. It certainly is not progressive, as it pretends to be, saying ``look at me! i am so radical and avant-guard look how post-modern I am!``

It is laziness under the veneer of radicalism. It has been done. It has nothing to say.

All show and no heart.

~~Acidity is a very important work~~

Important to what? Important to whom?

~~ it shouts and screams and cuts at what is thought of as unspeakable~~

What is it cutting at that is so unspeakable?

May God have mercy on NFP. I belive he needs help. Instead of thinking of him as genius or mad , what we need to do is try to help him out of this situation. Lets all pray for him.

There u have it, PZ. Well said CoolHand. But PZ, I never wanted to persuade you, man. If you don`t like Acidity, fine. Like I said, some people think NFP is genius, while some think he`s just plain insane. And some like you think he`s a jerk. We all have our opinions, likes and dislikes. You don`t think the post-modern cutup method used by NFP here is great literature, I think it is, especially due to reasons already given by CoolHand. ... btw, PZ, what do you think constitutes good literature. Jane Eyre? I too am open to persuation.

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 buts!)

I am open to persuasion. Please show me how this novellette and the work of Nadeem F Paracha constitutes literary genius. A few sentences or paragraphs to explain it will suffice.

Who thinks that he is a genius? Trust me, anybody who thinks that this writer is a genius is extremely deluded.


Does that mean I`m deluded? Trust me, anybody who thinks that I`m deluded is deluding himself by believing NFP is not a genius and burroughs suck!

~~I wonder what in the world were you doing reading Acidity in the first place??~~

Well, because I was passing time and reading it. How can I answer that question?

William Burroughs didnt write a single thing that will last. He was a junkie who wrote junk.

Who thinks that he is a genius? Trust me, anybody who thinks that this writer is a genius is extremely deluded.

Why bother, riffat? The bandbaja write-up on NFP says it all. Throughout his career people have either loved him or hated him. There are no in-betweens. Some thing he`s a genius, while some believe him to be just plain mad! PZ thinks he`s pompus. Well, I too agree he did not get the whole black comedy aspect of the novel, but it`s his opinion.

PZ, since you`re called PunjabyZulu I thought you might`ve liked it in Punjaby ... or better, in Zulu! Oh, well, I DO respect your opinion, eventhough, I think by suggesting William Brroughs to be sub-standard, I wonder what in the world were you doing reading Acidity in the first place?? Okay, tell me if you can, what do you think Acidity was all about (WITHOUT using the many adjectives u have already used)?
