She's the Shaun King of literature.

Btw, are any of her books worth my time? I'm going to try and read some contemporary stuff/new releases this year instead of purely classics. Should I try Swing Time?

she's really, really good
to be honest, her great lecture on david foster wallace should have elevated her to meme status around here but for some reason that never happened. maybe it's because people here don't fucking reeeeaaaad.

plus it's "cool" to hate women and non-whites here (4chan in general)

nah we just balance out the fashionable 'OMG a poc woman! She is truly courageous and amazing and brilliant!'

There's great books by women but they have nothing to do with them being special gender snowflakes

except the only people saying this are websites that nobody cares about or reads. the vast majority of literary criticism is reasonably gender neutral. if you think women are somehow given a free ride in the literary world you must be out of your mind.

It's in general irony. We get non-ironic /pol/ crossposting because of intellectual and meme ressentiment, but on 4chan in general no. Go to /b/ and post a black hate bait thread and you'll get spammed with blacked porn.

Harold Bloom and his sexual harrassment come to mind.
