Everywhere you hear it: literature is dead. Nobody reads anymore, the heyday of the novel is long past as the screen has devoured the page, and so on and so on...
The tone of this piece was such a highlight for me. It felt steady and calm, even when you were pushing on sharper ideas n that balance gave the writing this sense of authority without ever slipping into preachiness like I came away with the feeling that you weren’t just sharing thoughts, you were inviting me to sit with them.
Thank you, I'm glad you noticed and felt it. It is very much intentional and part of the method of restoring felt presence and ache within literature that I think it deeply desires. :)
I loved this!! I think you're right with so many of your points. I also appreciate how you offered an approach for how to address this, and you're right, writers need to be bold in their writing if they want to resurrect serious literature. Thank you for this, it was very inspiring!!🖤
