I want to write a literary novel with a Marxist mugger for a main character
-
his best friend is a libertarian burglar
“This is just a private, decentralized property tax on the neighborhood,” he said in his blasé way
-
-
A comical chapter in which the libertarian burglar must re-break into a house to recover his fedora
-
“Well, if you let The State in, why not me?” he asks indignantly
-
They both fall in love with a beautiful neoliberal Keynesian economist
-
Hilarious hijinks as their friendship is tested by the unexpected love triangle
-
A heartwarming scene where the main character proposes to her while mugging her
-
She refuses, because marriage is a relationship that violates the principles of free trade
-
Halfway through the book the characters settle into an uneasy polyamorous triangle that can’t agree on how to handle common “property”
-
“You’re masking oppression in the guise of economic efficiency,” the mugger said glumly. “Shut up and do the dishes,” she said
-
The break-up: “I’m… I’m afraid you’re just deadweight loss on this relationship. There’s only one way to solve this free rider problem.”
-
“THIS IS SO BOURGEOIS OF YOU,” the mugger cried,as his friend screamed next to him, “YOU’RE WORSE THAN THE STATE!” But the door stayed shut.
-
you know it’s *literary* if it ends with a break-up and a man brooding
-
If it’s a double break-up and there are two men brooding, that’s an auto-Pulitzer, right?
