It seems to be what Tao Lin and his muumuu cronies are up to.

Some older writers like Palahniuk are also trying to work in this kind of confessional way.

The difference between the "New Sincerity" and old school Confessionalism is that the new writing maintains some of the archness and self-awareness of postmodernism, so you have writers like Marie calloway who're producing this seemingly sincere and honest confessional about their sex life or whatever, but you're always acutely aware that the whole exercise, however seemingly sincere, is actually a creation. She's fucking all these guys with the idea that it'll make a book, and from the ad on craigslist to the final photo of her with spunk on her face, the whole thing is a confection, designed and created to be written about.

It's a kind of post-confessional sincerity.

I dunno, something like that anyway. I don't especially like Tao Lin or Calloway, but I'd rather read their drivel than the latest piece of self-indulgent shit by Franzen or Vollmer or Martin fucking Amis or whoever.
