/lit/ - Literature

Is western literature actually going to be dead and buried after how many decades of woke calls to arms for “representation”? I wonder if historians down the line are going to be in shock and awe about the wholesale disregard for thousands of years of human development and storytelling. Imagine drawing a line from Sumerian to Greek to Roman to Middle Ages to Chaucer to Dante to Ariosto to Shakespeare and Marlowe and Spenser to…, etc. until it drops off into a pile of shit like Rankine and Angela Davis. I’m not even right wing but this shit is very alarming for literature and barely anyone speaks out about it in public anymore.
