ITT: We post books that give you hope for modern lit.

Is this book particularly similar to The Rings of Saturn by Sebald?

It is somewhat similar but with its own unique rhythm and direction.

Thanks, will probably check it out.

I don't have much hope for modern lit as a whole, but I see the good works as being little flecks of gold hidden in the manure of the rest of contemporary literature.

It gives me hope because a book that is against the predominant force of multiculturalism managed to sell so well. It goes to show that there is still some room for dissent.

Davis is fucking trash though.
I wonder how many editors she's blown to get the type of press she does.

Except she isn't. Her work is actually pushing boundaries as opposed to most of the shit being published today. Her focus on the minutiae of modern life is akin to what Proust did the In Search of Lost Time, except for the modern age. Her brief snippets are a reflection of the modern mind, where to many a six book meditation on any subject seems absurd.
Please, tell me what is clearly superior these days.
