Hipster books!

i go to ilx for interesting opinions on many things but 'defining hipster books' is probably not one of them
― thomp, Saturday, 27 August 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
considering the # of posters that never post abt novels except on dfw threads i think ilx probably has a good grasp of what 'the hipster novel' represents

i mostly stop reading after world war 2 except for patches here and there, and by the 1980s i've halted completely (except for dfw, yes). i dunno how H that is. most people i know (who read) seem to start around catch-22.

having worked in bookstores for years, i can say w/o equivocation that hipster all-star books are:

lol rly? oh, america
'catch-22' just seems like one of those 'everyone likes this' books; im sure hipsters are part of the venn diagram tho

haha or this is the other answer. 'this is a hipster book now? i remember reading it in '93.'

yeah, exactly. it's not exactly a deep list, but it's got an appropriate affectation of darkness. kind of like tim burton.

maybe most hipsters are actually entry-level.

idk does hipster imply "kind of clueless" or is it interchangeable with "snob"
― corey, Sunday, 28 August 2011 17:43 (twelve years ago) link
cuz I'm sure people could call me a snob for ignoring Toni Morrisson but getting excited about Arno Schmidt or whatever
can't say with the same certitude as books, but at borders in seattle the hits were
