I guess i'd fuck her

>>17267495
No, got a bunch of things to read. Still haven't finished normal people. I'm still a schizoid anon.

>>17267495
"Young people navigate" is the biggest literary red flag i can think of. In other words, no.

Reminder that she was 27 in pic related. Salley Rooney is not a Normal Person©.

Sorry, I haven't slept in 60 hours.

unless they're navigating minefield I don't wanna read it

>>17267598
Never post in one of my threads again

>>17267520
She looks like a friend I had in college.

>>17267520
I have this cursed big nose Irish phentotype as well. Her nose needs to shrink by 50%.

So it's exactly like the rest of her books? Has she ever written about anything else?!

>follows four young people as they navigate love, friendship and sex
Can we have a book that follows four young people as they navigate spending all day inside due to everything being locked down?

>>17267495
More of the same; do these people not want something new?

>>17267495
>media made by a woman
>contains sex

>>17267788
no. same thing with her short stories.

>>17267807
Yay, I can't wait to read about the experience I try to forget and get out as soon as freaking possible!

>>17267826
Bukowski is the same, anons. I prefer her ngl.

>>17267495
I'm definitely reading it

>>17267931
I want to flee to Australia (where my family lives) but tickets are like $10,000 right now. I hate my life.

>>17268059
Do you live in England. If so, commit a crime and you'll get sent there for free.

Man alive.

>>17267520
Never forget how they did her dirty like this.

>19th-early 20th century books about people navigating love, friendship and sex
>masterpieces by Proust, Tolstoy, Dosto, Joyce
>21th century books about people navigating love, friendship and sex

what went wrong

I'm really hoping the pandemic doesn't spawn a genre of pandemic films and literature. Imagine the innumerable covid lockdown memoirs of art hoes this situation has the potential to create.

>>17268268
> Proust, Tolstoy, Dosto, Joyce

None of them are about that shit you nigger brainlet. 7/10 if bait

>>17267807
Anon there's gonna be a deluge of covid-core in the next few years, give people time to get nostalgic over this shit

Maybe I should read this so I can see what normal young people lives are like and experience it all vicariously
It might teach me something

Genre: high fantasy

Reconsider: >>17267520

I was very cynical when I heard about the publisher bidding war for the rights to her next to novels.

Catnip for 20-somethings I guess.

>>17267520
monstrum in fronte, monstrum in animo

>>17268418
The fact that there was a "bidding war" over her first novel was enough of a red flag, honestly.

Normal People was just OK, but I want to see if she's improved

>>17267495
It's sad to think that a woman who is ugly has no redeeming qualities, except for bearing children. If she's barren then she has a moral duty to kill herself and not take any place in this world. Every day that Sally Rooney continues to live is a sin committed, and she'll have to pay it a thousandfold in Hell. Perhaps the only time that God will not only forgive suicide, but demand it even.
I despise her and everything she represents. A mediocre ugly woman with no talent whatsoever, who thinks her average YA dogshit is somehow breaking new ground. Young people navigate friendship and love in their lives. Wow! Only a millennial woman could tackle such difficult topics. Rooney said that her first novel was "absolute trash", and she was correct, an omen of novels to come, you blighted irish potato, fuck off and die. Cunt.

Have sex

>>17267508
Me too, then I'd get her a taxi home.

>>17268252
the artist must have cried during this. How do you make someone like her look good without completely reconfiguring her entire appearance? impossible task

>>17270030
>It's sad to think that a woman who is ugly has no redeeming qualities, except for bearing children.
Haaahaha, how did you spend your day? Killing buffalo? Building log cabins? Climbing up sheer cliff faces?

>>17270452
Literally just tracing over a photo would have produced better results than turning her into the Irish equivilant of the Happy Merchant.

>>17267495
>follows four young people as they navigate love, friendship and sex
legit fucking hurtful
why remind me

>>17268252
I really like it. Much better than something blandly flattering. I suppose my dream is to some day be in a position where someone will be doing a little semi-facetious New-Yorkerish portrait of me for some reason.
