The extensive use of Apple products and internet since birth is not a form of high culture.

If anon said "since 2000" there would be too many to even type out. The "contemporary literature is shit" meme is unfortunate because it coincides with the recent demographic thread. So many people here are lit/humanities undergrads that are forced into rigid criticism and analysis by dusty old boomers that they are not able to explore and integrate their own tastes.
Also, we are ignoring the fact that many works are not appreciated in their own time. Somewhere out there is the great work of the century, but we wont hear its acclaim until 2060.
Do Not Say We Have Nothing
Captivity
The Sympathizer
Laurus
The Sellout
A Little Life
Just because you have your head up your ass and /lit/ is an echo-chamber doesnt mean there isn't good shit out there. Try actually paying attention to the world you faggot.

I never read it Tao

A Little Life is a monstrous work, I didnt even like reading it. I do admire the authors ability to fuck with the reader, she masterfully drew you into Jude's likeable aspects and then tortured you with his dark side.
That said, I did not enjoy reading it, I just couldnt stop. Accident on the side of the road and all that.
