of not reading anything besides things written by women in the past 20 years

actual literary movements no longer exist. sure there might be tiny groups of hipsters gathering around and jerking each other off but overall literature has no cultural currency and to call it a “movement” is disingenous. the modern day literary gathering has less energy and engagement than the average AA meeting. Face it, literature has died, and has been replaced by TikTok, YouTube and Marvel movies.

There are no “literary movements” anymore. These people on here who pretend they live in fin de siècle Vienna and know all these interesting writers are LIARS. Nobody like that exists anymore. Any “literary movements” are at most algorithm generated bs like >>20484194

What are beatniks and aesthetes?

Every top selling book in the UK is written by someone who is already famous. Mostly TV personalities, sports personalities or musicians. They're either crime thrillers or kids books trying to be Dahl.

Plus the book industry in the UK is so easily manipulated by people with money, who are usually TV personalities or people who try to be the next Dahl.
