"The Disappearance of Literary Men Should Worry Everyone" :marseyreading:

https://archive.is/AdxWM

To be clear, I welcome the end of male dominance in literature. Men ruled the roost for far too long, too often at the expense of great women writers who ought to have been read instead. I also don't think that men deserve to be better represented in literary fiction; they don't suffer from the same kind of prejudice that women have long endured. Furthermore, young men should be reading Sally Rooney and Elena Ferrante. Male readers don't need to be paired with male writers.

such as...

maybe the woman who was famous for fricking Henry Miller and wrote fancy smutt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_of_Venus) before it became #1 genre once Kindles were a thing and they could hide it

I don't know which sister you're referring to, but Jane Eyre is shit unless you read it imagining that everything said about Jane is true and she is actually an evil, murderous witch.

Emily. Wurthering Heights wasn't bad, hilariously depressing and only slightly self indulgent at the end.
