F.A. Nettelbeck? (2 Viewers)

nettelbeck, he crazed in all the wrong ways. except i do appriciate the pictures of the girls mooning the camera on his poetry generator on his website. it doesnt take much to please me,
 
I'll maintain that he was very nice and civil in e-mails to me when I purchased the copies of THROB. Maybe it was just another manic Monday.
 
I second the motion that Gerard has frequently been the voice of reason and dog-photo of adorableness which adds up to a great thing for the rest of us.

Those Corgis have a special power...
 
Agree, I love that fuckin' Corgi. It looks smarter than 98% of the people I meet on any given day. And I'm seriously weighing the other 2% as I write this.

Gerald - thanks for taking the negative attention off of me . . . couldn't help but laugh at the shit storm my post caused. I should have done some more research. Still looking for reviews and feedback - the web has a bipolar opinion of him. Some call him an innovative, experimental poet that made some strong showings - others, like a lot of this board, seem to be turned off by his personality and translate that into a 'bad poet.'

i don't think that he is a bad poet because he is a tool. He is a bad poet and a tool...

ditto both youse guys.

and how.

anyway, curious, the well is dry on the Nettlebeck question, don't you think? ask us how we feel about Bukowski.

you already know how we feel about Bukowski, you say? yes, you're right, you probably do already know. but you already know how we feel about Nettlebeck, and yet you keep asking us over and over and over.

is it over?

First, call me Gerald and the negative attention could return. Second, you need to roam around in this big Bukowski party for a while until we get some of the bad taste out of our mouths about F.A.N. Third, it is quite obvious that our first impression of the afore mentioned has exhausted nearly all possibility of us giving him another read.

That reminds me, I drank 48 oz. of beer yesterday afternoon.;)

No, I think you're confusing people who are "turned off" by trolls (that would be you) with people who are "turned off" by rotten poets. There is a difference, you see. You like rotten poets, we don't like trolls. The two are unrelated.

Now, here I go. Watch. I'm kicking you out of here. Listen -- do you hear that? It's THE MASSES weeping and wailing over the blatant disregard for free speech! Listen to them...children of the night...what music they make...
 
"couldn't help but laugh at the shitstorm..." was pretty much exactly what i was talking about re: the troll trophy on the troll shelf. good riddance.
 
i finally understand what trolls do! it was all new to me. but now i know...they go to a forum, find a topic that people disagree on, then pose a fake question and stir up some shit, and when responses come in, they say, oh, my what have i done? my query has disrupted the forum and everyone is upset!!! it's all my fault! what have i done? and, it makes them feel IMPORTANT. is that all they want? why don't they just go to church???


edit: know that i'm drunk, really drunk, and fucking trolls make no sense...

at least they could post a funny picture while they troll....ok, i'm goin to bed.

:D
 
what was this nonsense about?

i've read this stuff what's ita bout

i drnk too much
 
What's the difference between Justcuriousisall and CuriousReader might be a better question. I was willing to give him a chance until he revived this thread.
 
Curiousreader,
You asked a simple question. I'll give a simple answer. From what little I've read, Nettelbeck is interesting. Different. He would drum-up more interest if he would lose the shock-rock business.
 
Just so you'll know, there's a second copy of F. A. Nettelbeck's book BUG DEATH, listed on ABE. This one is $50, the other that's been there for a while is $60.
 
It seems not many dealers who list on-line have copies, or if they do, they aren't listing them. I imagine there are copies out there in used bookstores at $10 or so, but the cheapest I've seen on the Web is this $50 copy. I'm curious to read it, but I'll wait until I find an affordable copy.
 
Go to the back woods of wherever he is and bring him a 40 ounce bottle of Mickey's, King Cobra or Olde English "800." He'll probably trade.

You do that.

I'm sure there are dozens and dozens of lively discussions about Nettelbeck percolating all over the place. He's such a legendary and influential literary figure after all.

for someone with such intense hateful words towards him it’s humorous that you are doubling back on that

Then you're a little bit of an idiot, aren't you? Considering you claim to have read the other thread. You're either stupid or you have an agenda. You would like us to think you're harmless and stupid. Maybe you are.

But to me, it's bullshit, everything you're saying. It's disingenuous and dishonest. (And I had to read it, so it's worth discussing, right?) To come in here out of the blue and want to discuss Nettelbeck, of all people, just doesn't ring true.

So I will offer up my opinion that you are full of shit. That's my role here. The big-mouthed stooge. The lighting rod for you to fling your monkey feces at. Everyone else can take you seriously if they'd like, but I can't. I don't buy it. It's too - improbable. That someone would A) give a shit about Nettelbeck at this point in the history of the world, and B) come here - where he's already exposed himself as a lunatic prick - to discuss him, is just too convenient.

So fuck you.

---

And here's my review of F.A. Nettelbeck's masterwork BUG DEATH:

He cut up other books and magazines and pasted them together. So it is, by definition, not a literary work, but a collection of excerpts from other books and magazines. By literary standards, it is what the Greeks called "shit." A con. A ruse.

End of review.

I should tell you that I have not read, nor would I ever read, BUG DEATH. Nor do I have to read it to review it, considering that it was never written, per se.

Freaky, ain't it? Like a Möbius strip or a 1967 Beatles record.
