I never get why the misery porn subgenre is so popular in litfic. It's like when that book A Little Life was huge a few years back. I've a suspicion the fans of these kinds of books are masochists.

glasgow's always been soft. the hard man thing is purely surface level .

plus a fair emount of 80s gays were hard cunts anyway because they needed to be because not even glasgow would accept them at that point

MFA=Master of fine arts.

It’s someone who went to college for creative writing and then graduated from an MFA program. Some great writers came out of MFA programs, but the bulk of graduates all tend to sound the same.
