I had no other choice
The West kicked me out
First they gave me bad marks in school
Then they kicked me out of school
Then I worked in fast food until I got health damages
Then I found a job in some farm where I was kicked out too with the option of continuing to work for a smaller pay
I refused for the sake of my own dignity and now here I am
This was my destiny

>>22276011
His reaction to his alienation is more interesting but the process of it isn't more novel. You just relate to it more. From what I glean from this board, if you all had your way the literature industry would be dominated by failures writing self pitying autofiction instead of silver spoon mediocrities writing the same.

Incorrect, if I had my way New York would be treated like a pet cemetery built on an Indian burial ground and repeatedly nuked into a glowing crater to remove all the spiritual filth it has accumulated, and people like Honor Levy would be sent to Madagascar to live in the homogeneous Hasidic ethnostate and study Talmud if they were religious Jews, or else to a walled-off oblast near the north pole if they chose to remain "secular Jews" (Khazars), with nobody but other "secular Jews" (Khazars) to extort usurious interest from or put on "oy vey we Jews are so interesting we are, we have such CUSTOMS we do!" sitcoms for (and accordingly they would all commit suicide within 5 years).

Once upon a time, there existed an eel unlike any other. Named "Mordred," after his mother Morgause who bore him illegally from her union with King Arthur's own brother Gareth, this jealous serpent lived life like a man torn apart by his inner conflict. Though gifted with extraordinary strength and stealthiness, Mordred was consumed by his own vicious nature, envying the ease with which others seemed to navigate their lives.

His focus fixated solely on what he lacked rather than what blessings surrounded him, and thus did Mordred's jealous heart grow fatigued by the burden of his own failures. Rather than strive to better himself or find solace in the companionship of loved ones, he instead chose to brood in self pity. Wasting away his days amongst the rocky shoals where few ventured to fish, the green-eyed monster within him stirred restless within his cold bloodstream. Denied of his due attention and recognition, this tempestuous spirit took root, blossoming into a cancer that corroded every aspect of his being.

As though determined to fulfill the prophecy spoken by Merlin -- that a son begotten between two knights of the Round Table would bring ruin to Camelot -- Mordred spun himself deeper into his tangled web of lies and intrigue. Seeking to extinguish his burning desire for validation through acts of sabotage and subterfuge aimed directly at his uncle's court, he unwittingly served as the catalyst of his own downfall. His actions fueled by malice, distrust, and bitterness, they ultimately led to betrayal and violence, bringing chaos to the kingdom he claimed to protect.

The stage set for his ultimate showdown with his royal kin, fate collided with destiny when Mordred discovered he shared little love with those around him. Abandoned by his mother and scorned by his father's subjects, he stood solitary on the battlefield, adrift in his sea of troubles. This renegade fish, once admired for his grace and prowess, found himself caught on the shores of disaster, snared like a trout by the angler of destiny.

From these depths arose his archrival Lancelot du Lac, armed with wings and claws honed by years of practice against enemies abroad. In the blink of an eye, the swift-winged eagle swooped forth from heaven, tearing mercilessly into the heart of Mordred's madness. Reaping the harvest sown by his envious thoughts, the jealous serpent breathed his last, consuming the fruit borne of his festering grudges until nothing remained save his legacy of darkness and discord.

Her stuff is okay, perhaps even mildly interesting. Ellis still did it better. Most of all I'm just jealous that NYC has a scene where people can write short stories and someone actually reads them, I guess.

Internet Girl is perhaps her best, but it's not going to feel very fresh or interesting to someone already terminally online like most /lit/izens.

Honor is funny and I'll read her book (on my phone, which is what she would've wanted).

I wonder if the jump to a larger press has led to the contents being somewhat neutered, to sweeten it for normies. On the other hand, I assume this book has changed quite a bit altogether since it was first announced in, what, early 2021?

>>22278989
Do you even need to question whether or not things have been neutered? Her work has been released by a major press. It will contain nothing that challenges the norm. It's another literary stillbirth by definition.

This is more interesting to me than any whiny, entitled drivel coming from the younger generations. Why is it that we live in the most peaceful and prosperous period of human history but every person that is politically aware, educated and intimate with social media is fucking hysterical? Why do they see themselves as oppressed when they live better than anyone else ever has? Why are the younger generations so keen on mistaking their despair for actual collapse?

Seems alright, it's very Best Easton Ellis. Reminds me of James Ferraro or Ryan Trecartin too.

"Dropped with extreme prejudice like all other demoralizing degeneracy scribbled by filthy kikes," he spat, fists tightening around the axe handle as he raised the bloody weapon up once more for another swing.
*CRACK!*
The ratlike face, already ruined from birth by bad genetics, instantly became even more comically grotesque as the flat back of the axe head stove in the gory skull, eyes comically popping out with a splurge of blood. He looked once more at his handiwork; the shylock's visage seemed somehow improved... but his hatred was not yet satisfied (and, truth be told, would never be quenched, not even if he'd personally slaughtered every last edomite ten thousand times). Again, and again, and again he laid into the ruined cranium of the subhuman, until what was left of its head was a pulpy mass of shattered bone and gore, blood matted hair under a crumpled yarmulke. He breathed deeply as he stood over his work, admiring the results. The other jews were sobbing, knowing that they were next, praying to their false god for salvation.
"Salvation comes only through the grace of Jesus Christ... whom your goddamned ancestors MURDERED!"
He was on them in an instant, the bloody axe head glistening wildly in the light as it traced arc after arc into their broken bodies. He continued to use it as a hammer, wanting to spare the keen blade's edge for another task.

She posts in a detatched aloof style that "artists" like to use. It is just a new sameness to the usual lol random that pervades most artistic circles. It is a way to be a bully, that is all, and is usually a sign that their artistry is noting more that socio-political weaponry

Good choice of words. I hate this style. It declares that everything is not worth looking into and that caring about something or having interests or love or sincerity is a bad thing. My guess is that its scared of taking risks so it just makes fun of those who do. There are loads of people like that, both young and old

Rupi Kaur is the most honest form of this bitch, she is a more honest conduit of contemporary narcissism. This Levy is trying to write rehash of a 2012 alt lit rehash of a mid 90s rehash of Don DeLillo and not even bothering to update the style.

>Levy says that she can only write at night, and while on Adderall, so the second time we speak on Zoom it’s 4am in New York. She’s sat in her dark room smoking Vogues because she’s lost her vape.
