"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.

Move over Ernest Hemingway, Bret Easton Ellis, Hunter S Thompson and Nabakov here comes JK Rowling, Stephanie Myer, EL James and Suzanne Collins

Rare opinion, but all things considered Stephanie Myer is actually a good writer who can make foidbrain read as something deep and interesting.
