She’s Irish anon

>>19874349
Millennials don’t have anything interesting to say.

What are the best books in terms of literary merit in the 21st century?

>>19874349
Who is she? Is she actually good? I really want to read good new books, but they’re so few and far between

>>19874349
because they haven't even completed the first third of their life. they haven't even experienced life itself yet

>>19874349
They don't care about greatness, they just want to be praised for typing and participating

>>19874463
Reading Normal People right now, you're not going to like it if you're part of the right wing contingent and/or only read from the /lit/ canon.

>>19874349
it takes time to decide what classifies as great and depends on who you ask, and the general attitude of "i only read white men from 100+ years ago" which is unfortunately prevalent on this board definitely doen't help. there's a lot of art being made though, and with an open mind you can decide for yourself what counts as grat

>>19874520
why?.

>>19874573
because it's sex in the city meets Gilmore girls meets friends meets real house wives of the world meets girls in book form

>>19874612
You haven't read the book have you...

>>19874391
>>19874394
She doesn't look Irish either. She has the nose of a Jewess and the mouth of a Ukrainian. Her cheekbones are likewise Slavic, except more flattened.

Sally is objectively ugly, but it's a pleasant ugly. I don't know how to explain it further.

>>19874349
wtf she's 30. she looks at least 37.

>>19874627
How would you describe it?

>>19874349
Do you believe that people are largely a product of their environment? There are no great western born millennial or zoomer writers and there never will be.

>>19874612
>it's sex in the city meets Gilmore girls meets friends meets real house wives of the world
what this have to do with right-wing nothing?. this is shit in any spectrum. i mean if you describing it like this is just a netflix literature shitshow.

>>19874703
That was a different guy. Primary male character is a chad but likes reading books about racism, primary female character likes sex, plot so far revolves around dialogue, a romance, and banal social dynamics in a small Irish town. No quotation marks around dialogue.

>>19874735
Taken the McCarthy approach has she

>>19874747
When has McCarthy ever written a woman or sec lol

>>19874754
McCarthy also doesn't use quotation marks lol. Nice job exposing yourself as a midwit you fag.

>>19874349
Why is she so hot /lit/bros?

>>19874513
I agree. Everyone should just kill themselves

>>19874349
There are no great millennials, period.

>>19874349
she's 3 years younger than me but looks 15 years older. is this the fate of the hibernian female?

>>19874761
Imagine thinking McCarthy is the pioneer of eschewing punctuation mark. You are fucking stupid

>>19874841
Because you fetishize celebrity and her status as a lonely, faintly attractive writer allows you to mythologize her in contrast to all those dirty whores on social media you're forced to contend with, you poor thing.

>>19874892
Pretending to be unaware that the response was in direct reference to McCarthy in a desperate attempt to get the upper hand on an anonymous imageboard, just so you can feel good about yourself for a moment.

>>19874349
Sally Rooney isn't "great."

I don't fetishize celebrities retard, I barely even watch movies and shows anymore these days. I think you're just projecting lmao.

>>19874391
Modern Irish are just English rape babies from centuries of colonial domination. Back in the day some redcoat had his way with a girl in a potatoe field and this is the result.

>>19874949
right, not a very high bar at all. you should remember that whenever you think about women -- we have better taste than you.

>>19874349

>>19874998
That's just sad but most likely a real scenario

>>19874463
Sally Rooney doesn't really write books that people here would find interesting. Lots of romance, insecurities, emotions between people and especially women, things that really appeal to a female audience.

/lit/ likes books that are much more masculine. The books here tend to have male authors, male characters, they are more violent/adventurous, that type of thing. /lit/ also has a lot of people who are mainly interested in genres that Rooney doesn't write in (political books, philosophy, sci-fi/fantasy, history, etc.).

If you are a woman or girl feeling insecure about your place in the world, or if you want to read about women and girls who feel that way, Rooney is a good writer for you. If you don't really vibe with those themes, Rooney isn't for you.

>>19874980
>>19874983
Try harder samefag. Imagine thinking a common literary trope is a trait of a single author, lmao. If you read more that 10 books outside of your high school you’d know that. No go read your little reddit mcreddit

>>19874735
i mean, if you are left-wing you have more chances of liking it because the carachters talk of left-wing topics?. people are really this automatized?. anyway, do you think is a good novel or dont?. what i read myself was pretty banal as you said but without melancholy or enough self awareness of that vulgarity to make it fly a little.

>>19875067

western boomers continue to clutch the reins of economic and political power having effectively mortgaged the millenials' collective future in 2008 to do so. any millenial who rises to prominence in any field is only allowed to do so because they say and do what boomers want. only when the last boomer is dead will a truly millenial voice emerge

I named my dog Misogyny. I trained him to detect menstrual blood and root around offending female crotches. If the offending female stands, Misogyny is trained to back them against a wall and growl. The more upset the female gets the more aggressive Misogyny is trained to be--however, he's trained to just sit and stare once the crying starts.

the only millennials who are allowed to be published are in the LGBTQ clique.

Who are the great gen x writers? Seriously, their window of greatness is closing and the millennial window is just starting to open. The age range of 45-60 is the golden range of writing for a generation. OP is just mad that gen x's talent is completely swallowed up by pop culture.

I've been reading Sally Rooney so please, allow me to mine the depths of this thought. The commend betrays his desperation and the subtext is he'd fuck her.

>>19876569
I’ve heard from even people that don’t like her that this is the exception in quality. How would you rate compared to other literature from the past 20 years

>>19876619
to be honest, i haven't read a lot of recently published literature, and i read CwF because i've been trying to change that. the only thing around this timeframe that i liked better was Elementary Particles by Houllebecq, but I guess that was originally published slightly more than 20 years ago haha

>>19874349
Works that people on this board would like are being written, but are unable to be published because book publishing is a 100% top-down astroturfed industry. If a given work smells of dissent from managerial/feminist/multicultural orthodoxy, it will not be printed regardless of its quality.

Just doing my job x

Anyone who wants to can read her first book in a few hours. You will find out there is nothing great about it and it reads very much as self-insert fantasy, poorly edited trash. If you want a decent book about women read the Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante.

Evidencing Rooney fans are midwits and female contributions to the board are detractions from its overall quality.

True, especially myself.

>>19878010
>mad that she's not jewish

>>19876723
Yeah, we'll probably only see something of quality from self publishing or independent publisher. This probably means they won't be discovered for years or even decades after they were written. It's happened before, several times in fact. It may just be harder with how much shit is thrown at the wall these days.

>>19875080
No. Your best bet to understand women is proximity in real life to them. My advice would be to try and befriend some women at your school/workplace (if your social skills are very inept, perhaps practice making friends with men first). Do not try and date the women you befriend, rather use them as a pool to meet more women, try to get invited to parties, concerts, events, and then try and meet women at those places.

It was really useful for me when I figured out that dating is not a quality game, don't relentlessly pursue one woman, it's a quantity game. The more women you know, the easier it is to find one that likes you and that you like back.

>>19875122
>She writes WB-tier dramas for an (infantile) adult audience
Yeah dude, I said she writes books for women

>>19874349
Why is her face so weirdly saggy? She looks like she recently lost a significant amount of weight. Also that she's seriously lacking in some essential nutrient/has some sort of hormonal deficiency. Is she vegan?

I know it's not good to criticise a writer (especially a female writer) over their appearance. However, her books are so terrible that seems like the kinder thing to do.

>>19875197
Thise quoted sentences are actually flavor and spunk and slyness and verve. That teacher is a rancid wretch

>>19878294
Go one then, why don't we get a proper critique of her writing; a critique that goes deeper than 'it's bad' and 'I don't like it', because all I'm seeing is a bunch of bitter and resentful men casting off shallow and obtuse comments, presumable motivated by misogyny, at a woman who is more successful than them. I'm willing to bet many of you have not read a single published word of hers.

>>19878276
The caliber of those defending Rooney in these threads has lowered my respect for women. (e.g.>>19874539, >>19874627, >>19874931, >>19875067, >>19875209, >>19876398, >>19876174, >>19876569, >>19878270). Some of those are probably the same poster. You'll pretty much never see a take from someone praising Rooney for something beyond the fact that they self-identified with her work. They sometimes offer up a preloaded appraisal of her place in lit or praise her work in a generic way--95% of their takes will be contrived bullshiting about how her characters are "just so real" or how "she captures real-life drama." Seriously, these bitches belong on /tv talking about The OC/Smallville/Dawson's Creek.

>>19874349
uh, based or racist?

>>19874349
I thought that Mozley's Elmet was quite good (though I haven't read "Hot Stew").

>>19878360
Just fucking stupid. There are probably plenty of left-leaning publishers in Israel who would happily donate all the sales profits to NGOs or human rights groups that help Palestinians or whatever.

>>19878276
>You're men! You don't like her because you're bad people! Men are bad! She's successful and you're small! Haha!
Add this seeth (>>19878332) to >>19878353. Going after a (completely imagined) presumed ego of (faceless) men on an anonymous web forum (i.e. a stereotypical way women try to attack men via belittling them) betrays the impotence of ideological feminism when it comes to saying anything worthwhile (let alone creative). This is the audience that the publishing industry has cultivated for Rooney and it's truly pathetic.

>>19878353
The irony that you yourself have not come up with an insightful critique of her. Your lack of self awareness is staggering.

>>19878073
She was born in 1965, so no

>>19878401
This >>19878400. No "criticism" is going to satisfy you because you self-identify with her work. There have been criticisms of it above as well as statements of fact regarding the audience to which her work appeals. You could answer to those but you won't--because they flow through your femcel brain. How about you give a deep analysis of her work and ignore the negative comments? Because you can't; you're a vapid cunt who needs someone to tell you not only what to like but how to like it as well.

>>19878401
Do you enjoy having a stinky vagina

>>19878422

>>19878453
A woman's last resort is an off-topic/terse remark; they invite you to dig your own grave. Women expect their work to be done for them; they lack the self-awareness to feel shame when it comes to frustrating others with their projection of a distilled stupidity.

What are you fucking idiots talking about?

>>19878400
Let's start with you, retard. Someone said, "Rooney writes for an infantile audience" and I joked "yeah, they are called women. " This is called a joke. The humor is that I called woman infantile readers. You should learn to read a joke. My post wasn't some attack on men, you weirdly interpreted it that way because your brain has probably been melted by culture war which has made you ultra-paranoid. If you can't comprehend even a one-line post, maybe you should be on the literature board where reading comprehension is a useful skill.

>>19878353
Rooney writes characters that are not like us, and they are not meant for people like us. Rooney is not a universal writer, she's a genre writer. If you want to judge her by some standard of universality and being the "voice of a generation," I agree with you, I don't think she is. However, within the genre she writes in (books targeted towards young women), she's pretty good.

I'm sorry you don't like books meant for insecure pudgy western women under 40, Anon. It's no shit as to why the publishing and literary review world loves her, it's filled with insecure pudgy western women under 40 that she markets towards. I think Rooney gets overhyped by these people, but I don't make the mistake of thinking that just because I don't like the genre that the writer is bad.

>>19878779

All they can do is attempt to frustrate me with their off-topic stupidity and pretend I didn't already call them out on it (>>19878552). Women are retards bro--if they can't meet your logic they just try to insult your ego (they're too dumb to understand it doesn't that work on an anonymous board but think it means they win on some retarded technicality). Aside, they're Rooney fans so how clever can we really expect them to be?

>>19879167
I'm convinced you're a newfag.

>do we really need that 'visually'?
there are different ways to imagine something. The modifier "Visually" indicates the type of imagining he's doing is visual

>can anyone explain what 'performatively large' actually means?
there are people in the world who experience the feeling of self consciousness. they think others are watching their actions in social situations more closely than they actually are. people bring a lot of social baggage to things like drinking, e.g. thinking you need to drink a lot to appear that you're a good time. by taking a performatively large mouthful of cointreau, peggy is attempting to signal to others that she is a good time, or more relaxed than she appears to be

it's scary to imagine how many writers this teacher ruined with his lack of intellect, imagination, style, etc.

>>19878353
based on your writing style and the strange way you formatted your (You)'s, i take it that you're the type of person who gets dominated in every single aspect of their life. I feel like you lack any real skills, talent, or positive qualities. It reeks of a whining child begging for their absentee mother to breastfeed them. I suggest you take up weight lifting or... even walking around your neighborhood for a few minutes each day. cowardly freak.

The person pushing Rooney is strikingly similar to the person pushing Savannah Brown threads and (this is a long shit I admit) Philip Roth threads. Very thin skinned, yet willing to post a thread on an unliked topic in a hostile environment and make low effort troll replies to every post. Sometimes says chud, weirdly non-4chan style of posting, weirdly non-4chan opinions on 4chan, etc. Not that this is bad in itself, but its consistency indicates an unusually determined tourist.

I have a feeling it's some kind of miniature brigade, but I don't see the point. I also don't really care, they are bad threads that die quickly and sometimes provoke funny shitposting.

>>19880119
Case in point, this kind of self-owning butthurt could be either a woman or a tranny.

>>19880214
>this is a long shit
Was this Freudian? I tried to write long shot. I do kind of have to take a long shit now.

>>19880212

>he admits to posting in Savannah Brown threads

>>19880239
Where on twitter/discord are you organizing, or are you one person? And why are you doing this? What is the motivation here. Nobody cares, you're just adding mediocre bad threads to a board full of bad threads. Is it an autistic spite thing because you just hate chuds that much?

>>19880119
'Breastfeeding' loses its metaphorical weight coming from a dried-up cunt who always be a milkless cow. You will never have children. No one will love you. You will die alone. Your cats will feed on your corpse.

>>19880214
>>19880220
your desperation to belong to the 4chan club indicates that you probably haven't been here longer than a year

you just keep repeating the same broken record mantra of "like rooney = woman' ... again signaling some desperate desire to belong to the man club

the fact you keep (you)ing people without actually engaging with the content of their comments shows you're just desperate for any kind of connection at all... again like some child wandering around their parents dinner party, yanking at coat tails and pants legs.. just please work on yourself and your issues before you throw your entire life away searching for external validation

>>19880261
>the virgin can't comprehend people liking Sally Rooney

your post indicates much more about you... you assume for a person to enjoy a book written by a woman they have to be a woman... you equate a woman's value and happiness to their ability to breed / provide a vessel for offspring ... you saved a photo specifically for an argument like this... indicating you repeatedly get in arguments with other imaginary women... and repeatedly use the same ad hominem insult... again, a tired insult you didn't even come up with... just the old crazy ol cat lady spinster stereotype... i mean what are you getting out of regurgitating other peoples work?

It was a different time! I had to spend 6 hours a day arguing about why Fallout 3 sucked! I had to!

This is a different anon. You keep crying out that everyone who makes fun of you is a newfag so I think he's onto something. (Also, I'm the one who did the "(you)ing." I can just write ITT: >>19878422 >>19878552 because you literally just keep writing the same shit over and over...want to call me a virgin again?) Oh look--someone already did! >>19880280

Roasties Anonymous. Watch out--they might insult your sexual virility and project a bunch of shit about being attention-starved!

>>19880331
Reading Sally isn't going to get you laid faggot. (Also, take your meds).

Women learn a lesson: this is how you call out a man's virility...you have to wait for them to sperg out and project a bunch of nonsense first.

kek this reminded me that I used to have other main boards than /lit/. seems like ages ago when I was a /fit/izen. less retarded than the average board though.

American moment.

>>19880379
dang you can't move those goalposts fast enough can you? So if someone likes Sally Rooney they're either a woman (who can't have kids and whose self worth is based on having kids) or they're a gay guy trying to get laid (by a woman?) by posting about it on an anonymous literature forum? Can you think of anything on your own or do you just parrot meme insults you read on here?

>>19880340
Take your meds and have sex

>>19874513
Do you ever have original thoughts or is your whole personality just repeating facebook-memes and boomer populist-comments?

>>19874349
Her face looks like it's melting

>>19874349
Women are normie midwits and therefore can't write great literature. They can only write about family and relationships.

>>19874349
Publishing industry and current audiences are almost designed to weed out anything decent

>>19884552
Women run publishing and a contemporary novel would be awful because we live in the worst and least romantic time in history. Protagonist sits on phone for two hours, stops to microwave a burrito, plays xbox live, watches a dota 2 streamer, etc

>>19874520
Sally Rooney is that steeped in American culture she somehow managed to daily on the most basic level to write Irish people. Her books are written for herself and her Ilk: retarded women in their 20s.

Beckett approach actually but it for absolutely no rhyme or reason so she ends up filtering about a quarter of her target audience who can’t read it.

>>19875067
What are you talking about all her female characters are made out to be so sure of themselves. Conversations with friends was literally “listen to what I learned from philosophy tube” the book. Just random scenes where the girls would go off on politics and philosophy for absolutely no reason all with a lovely veneer or self righteous ignorance.

>>19884597
Ever notice that zoomers think that the generations before them blend into one? Are they overstimulated by the way they consume information and never going outside or are they just retarded?

>>19874379
Have you looked at an Anglo? They all look like they have discarded and recycled genes.

Star Wars is shit now sub

That sums it up. And explain the rage litards have against her.
>more violent/adventurous
Violent, but not adventurous.
Litards love that beta, le sad boi fiction.

>>19887245
No, Sally Rooney is just terrible. /lit Likes shit like The Remains of the Day or To The Lighthouse or The Crying of Lot 49 as well. Rooneycunts are easily triggered and will just see the world however they want so there's no point really arguing though.

>>19887392
>/lit Likes shit like The Remains of the Day
Lole speak for yourself newfag

>>19887402
Don't speak for yourself when the purpose is demonstrating a counterexample of someone's overgeneralization. Retard.

>>19887493
You have autism.

>>19887520
Basic logic only comes off as autism to you because women are overrepresented in threads involving Sally Rooney.

I wish I could sit on her face and take a shit in open air.

The shitty Jewish Pynchon, pure autism (Lin), and the rest are trite New Yorker memes. None has yet produced a work of enduring art
