>Conversations with friends: why men need to read more novels

>"According to Nielsen, despite men famously making up half the population, they only account for 20% of the audience for literary fiction. Part of this may be down to the changing landscape of authors themselves. In 2000, men made up 61% of the UK’s top selling hardbacks. By 2020, this number fell to 43%. Where straight white men used to dominate bestseller charts and prize shortlists, now it is people of colour, LGBT people and women who are both at the avant-garde of writing and driving sales in stores."

>"Celebrity authors and those with big fan bases, like Richard Osman and Lee Child, may shift product, but creatively, straight white men haven’t kept up with those who’ve previously been consigned to the margins."

>"Aside from some notable exceptions – Sean Thor Conroe’s Fuccboi being one – male writers who aren’t otherwise talking from a marginalised perspective have largely abandoned the novel as a means to make sense of cultural change. Faced with the challenge of articulating themselves as themselves, it’s like straight white men have given up on the subtleties of literary fiction and said: “Fuck it – I’m doing stand up about cancel culture instead.”

Is the author right here? Have straight, white men failed to keep up with women and non-whites in writing literary fiction?

Novels have been obsolete for at least a century now. Of course men got bored with them and moved on to more advanced forms of art like film and video games.

>First, women and LGBTQ are NOT avant-garde. They are not coming up with anything experimental and new. We are NOT going to see a female or gay James Joyce come out of our era. Nothing actually new is being made except books from minority “perspectives” which isn’t new at all. Richard Wright published in the 1930s and 40s and he was black and considered literary. I also know from experience that this female and lgbtq “driven” sales experience is in mindless romantic and thriller novels, NOT literature. Most girls don’t care about lit.

>second, the change is due to a massive influx of women in the industry. An agent told me, from a major agency, that her agency’s goal was to “right the wrongs of the white man” in publishing. If women only publish women and minorities, it has nothing to do with white guys giving up on subtleties of expression and everything to do with a new bigotry in the industry. And the industry is easy to break into for agents and easy to study in college.

As they don't link to the Nielsen study that gives the 20% number, it's impossible to say how true it is. But let's at least speculate. Nielsen is
>a global research and consulting company focused primarily on global information and media. It conducts research and data analysis to measure some information mainly about marketing: fast-moving consumer goods, consumer behavior, and media such as television, can provide that kind of insightful analysis
So if this is about consumer behavior, it's not how many read books, it's about how many buy books, and of those, probably those who buy books via Amazon or Chapters.

It's something that I saw a video of once. As a femoid, I was always jealous of the chaotic, fun energy dudes seemed to have, and I spent a long time thinking about it. Then I saw that video and I realized what it was; all the girls were scared. It was a bummer.

On a brighter note, I've seen some cute "prank" videos (the one where a dude nudges a watergun towards strangers so they can have a waterfight in public), and when women feel safe, they enjoy them just as much as guys do. There's just a lot less situations.

I'd argue that as music changes so does the venue's and audience they seek to entertain.
You mentioned music festivals in your town, and I see the same thing here in Ontario with established ones playing it safe. I think that is inevitable for established events.
I find better music in niche areas that fit new genres and artists who wouldn't be able to "fit in" with the regular audience.

I am seeing a lot of great artists move into VR for example.

Your missing out my friend. Lots of great authors whom are women that are not pozzed.
Frankenstein is an example.

>It's something that I saw a video of once.
Yeah, it sounds like a video, not even remotely like reality. Those prank videos are 95% scripted.
>I was always jealous of the chaotic, fun energy dudes seemed to have
As a faggot I prefer to call it annoying as fuck dudebro/bydlo energy. There's nothing fun about it, it is idiotic and forced and autistic in the original sense of the world, loud simulation of emotional exchange with utter emptiness on the inside.
>the point I was trying to make was that it's pretty hard to act jovial, or play along when you're in that kind of situation.
I dunno, I'd expect a possible rape to come with some signs less vague and ridiculous than "a guy started singing out of the blue".

Well, it certainly looked like fun from the outside

>"a guy started singing out of the blue".
well, if you're trapped in a moving vehicle with him, it's a lot scarier, and it's less about the singing in itself, and more that he's now proven himself to be unpredictable. From experience, the kind of person that spontaneously bursts into song is also capable of bursting into spontaneous, violent rage. Maybe he's just being funny, and maybe he's not, but the problem is that you just don't know.

I’m pretty sure publishers just don’t read any more, they’re too caught up in their manuscripts and Twitter drama. You read the blurb for some books and they make completely retarded and objectively false claims to shill their queer bipoc tranny writers. Stuff like totally ignoring James Joyce to pretend that they’ve published the first ever work of avant garde fiction written about working class people, or claiming that science fiction is a genre dominated by anglo writers as though fucking Lem, Zamyatin, the Strugatskys, Kobo Abe etc. Never existed. They think they’re so fucking clever pulling the intersectionality bullshit when all they’re doing is exposing the fact that they’ve either barely read the genre they’re claiming to be an expert about or if they have read it they’ve stuck completely to straight, male, anglo authors like some sort of white rights advocist.

Find this hard to believe. Women absolutely love those faggy memoirs like Deborah Levy or that Lisa Taddeo one, and every Robin DiAngelo book ever sold has been sold to a white woman.
