I've dreamed about striking the perfect balance in my writing. But as it stands, the "intelligentsia" immediately disregards anything of a "pulpy" genre, anything which doesn't fit into their narrow little parameters of what a profound and interesting book can be. If it's not a book set in modern times, about a protagonist learning how difficult it is to be female/Black/liberal/gay in such a male/White/conservative/hetero world, then it's undoubtedly a pretentious attempt to redefine past genres through a 21st Century lens.

Pic related is the example I hate most. A wealthy, liberal-educated female immigrant writes about the self-loathing of a working-class 19th Century drunkard, and she thinks it's daring because she reveals at the end that he was secretly in love with his best friend all along. And of course, the cheapest, easiest, quickest way to make the reader hate McGlue as much as McGlue hates himself is to make him casually racist and sexist, as all old White men inevitably were. Fuck this book.

Any excuse not to read, fucking plebs I swear.

If you want decent sci-fi, Ian M. Banks wrote some the best. Definitely not your average trashy sci-fi.

this is what happens when your literary culture is dominated by Jews.
