Go back to /tv/.
I like the part where the author literally stole lines from other sources but it's okay because of postmodernism
Ian McEwan is such a poor writer. I honestly don't understand the hype. It's a middle-class thing I guess. The Child In Time was absolutely terrible. There's just no heart in his writing, it's like painting in numbers but with words.

If you were from here you'd understand. It infects everything.

not really a good answer?
how does it work to insult someone as being middle-class anyway? i heard this several times before.
>>9170281
Because it suggests they are isolated from real life, easily shocked, and prefer safe writing over something that might discomfort them.

wouldn't it make more sense then to insult someone as being upper-class? a lot of people in an industrialized nation are probably middle-class, innit? what's 'real life' anyway?
isn't this just a worse umineko

>It's a middle-class thing I guess.
Certainly is. Just look at the gallery of upper-middle-class characters in Atonement. The whole thing is a bourgeois wank-tragedy with all the trimmings: war, unrequited love, manners, guilt and a trite little ending all tied up in a bow.
There are literally two working-class "characters" in the novel, and all they do is witter inanely about "crumpet." They're nothing more than puppets. McEwan has never met anyone who worked for a living in his whole lazy life.

Spoken like a proper chav on a ladrock concert. At least you're gonna live forever.

>what's 'real life' anyway?
A life that you have a real stake in. Where there is every possibility of failure, penury and premature death. Where your standard of living depends entirely on your own actions.
In short, the sort of life that someone with a trust fund, or the promise of inherited wealth, can never comprehend.

I see you've got that bourgeois snobbery thing down to a tee. Wizard prank, old fruit.
