Author of "Mald Against the Dying Love Life" here, been out for a bit but following up with you gents.

General thoughts on the nascent subgenre of Baldcore: I envision it as grounded firmly in the post 2010 male experience and defined by the following.
>bald male protaganist
>baldness is not necessarily central but is thematic and may play into a plot point to some extent
>themes of masculine humiliation/limitation within the modern world
>very much not interested in MGTOW or similarly bitter perspective. As the subject is male suffering there should be an aspect of humor without being slapstick
>more but don't have time now to write it all out

>the writing voice has too much 'attitude.' the risk of that is that you often sound cringey. there's a reason that they are always warning about 'purple prose' as it wears thin very quickly. hence, the strong preference on the part of critics, editors and publishers for a very 'neutral' or 'new yorker' style of prose.
If you'd like to read yet another neutral voiced 3rd limited meandering tale then Baldcore ain't for you, and it sure as fuck isn't for the NYT editorial board.

Gets it. Also respect your opinion and may remove the profanity, but I really want the informality it grants the conversation. Maybe I can just tone it down.
