>Kamila Shamsie: ‘White male novelists no longer have an overwhelming influence’

>"I wonder what Shamsie makes of the claims from some commentators and authors that publishing is now an unwelcoming place for male writers. Earlier this year, the best-selling author James Patterson lamented the perceived marginalisation of white, male writers, calling their struggle “just another form of racism”. (He later apologised for his comments.) “I don’t have a lot of time for it,” Shamsie replies. “I mean, let’s unpack this. What these people are saying is that it was always a very welcoming place if you belonged to a certain demographic, which is white middle-class male novelists, and now that demographic no longer has an overwhelming influence. Well, welcome to the world!”

This all boils down to economics. Men read less than women do, and the men who do read tend to be less likely to read contemporary fiction. If there was a larger market for contemporary white male authors, then their work would be published more often.

That's besides the point. The decline of white men in publishing isn't the cause of white men being less interested in contemporary literary fiction; the lack of interest is the reason for said decline.

Its still white men, if you mean all authors in general. The vast majority of the cannon is still written by white men, from Shakespeare to Joyce. These authors are universal and still are widely read and always will be.
If you are talking contemporary authors thats a very different and less impactful modem. Most cases some drivel penny dreadfuls will outsell what gets remembered as great literature. In the last 50 years for example, if you took the sales of all the postmodern great works combined id doubt they even reached half of Stephen King’s sales.

In Northern Europe I fully expect to see a race war.

Not likely in America, however, the hard right is quite well established institutionally, especially in the Judiciary, and given the inflow of hispanics, I expect a Franco or (for a more contemporary example) Bukele style strongman by 2050.

Caesarism from the right is somewhat inevitable in the US. Traditional WASP liberal democratic and capitalist culture will be replaced by some sort of neo-latin culture.

I think it's easy to underestimate just how right wing the young men of my generation are. With an increasingly larger population of disaffected young men with few prospects of satisfying work, marriage, children, etc. there will likely be a pretty big swing towards radical politics of the right.

You're retarded. First, most of what gets published barely sells. You're assuming that publishers go off of $$ from the start when they aren't even good enough to predict such. Instead, they not only ignore anything that confronts their ideological biases but actively diminish it. Second, a major chain bookstore recently refused to give shelf space to a book on the Canadian trucker protest. The book was selling well online and yet store fronts refused to amplify it despite the sales and backing from the publisher.

So no, it isn't a free market of ideas. Booksellers have an agenda and heavily market towards neoliberal identitarian bullshit. Oh, you're a female presenting non-binary mixed-race indigenous/black LGBTQ+ midwit?

It started out as a sublimation of the American religious impulse, which was always puritan and evangelical due to its historical roots. But at some point it was taken over and consciously shaped into a civic religion by deep elites who saw that the future of financially enserfed, oligarcho-ochlocratic America was in controlled Brazilification. They use laundered money to set up thinktanks and funds and create cultural and institutional consensuses that all converge on a single focus: "diversity" as a mandatory religion for the managerial class. This is why every institution, commercial, cultural, and academic, all seem to converge on the diversity meme. It's not just bad faith actors or idiots. It's a combined arms effort: The system runs on grants and funding, and you get more money if you pander to the diversity thing. That's the carrot. Meanwhile quasi-apartheid legislation is pushed and the justice system is degraded and corrupted so that it becomes increasingly difficult to survive in polite society with "antiquated" views. This forces the entire middle and upper middle class to adopt the same uniform religion of race fetishism. This comes easily for them because they are desperate, degraded, scared and stupid people, like women with made-up job titles who work in offices and their feminized metrosexual boyfriends.

At the other end of society they do things like this
https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/420644347/#420648506
to promote degeneracy and make you feel like you have already lost control of a society, since you are a middle class working chump just trying not to be lynched for your outmoded opinions, while all the office ladies and their metrosexual boyfriends are having a great time, and they don't seem bothered by the non-working welfare collecting minorities who somehow also seem to have an infinite supply of BMWs to lease and crash every six months.

The point is that it's all intentional. Even when something is merely fortuitous, it's because the elites are taking advantage of something that already works in their favor and stirring it into their own plans. Everything revolves around demoralization of the remaining normal people through the elevation of awfulness and degeneracy, and the elevation of the stupidest and most permissive and gullible people among the classes who should be denouncing degeneracy, to drown out any dissent as abnormal.

Also just start viewing everything as a move and a test by them. What was Zimmerman's trial? A test to see how far they could break the objectivity of judges and the public, manipulate the judges and jury through public scorn. They pushed, the system bent (for instance the media was completely complicit) but didn't break, so they backed off and tried again a year or two later. That's how they ratchet it up.

Same with COVID. They didn't get what they wanted with COVID so they'll try again the next time an opportunity arises.

Trannies are just more of the same. They don't care about trannies, they care about forcing you and your nice mother to stomach a farce every single day. They know you won't break, but your mom will, because your mom is torn between just wanting to be nice and not wanting to be assaulted at work by the insane mulatta who is always saying strange things. The system broke the mulatta, the mulatta will break your mom, and losing your mom to the mulatta will break you in ways useful to the system, by making you desperate and isolated.

It's incredibly common because you are in sync with a lot of the ideas and even just the style of communication you read. It's natural for you and your contemporaries to share similar themes in your work and/or just in your artistic sensibilities, so when you read someone else communicating ideas you've shared, I think it's kind of impossible not to experience a jarring effect when it doesn't match up fully with your own experience. You will find them to be false or off the mark in many more ways as compared to some old fuck you know for a fact is a respected master and you are happier to take his word for/about a time you weren't fully present in, even if a lot of their ideas are about a broader experience of life. It's not insecurity and it's quite healthy, athletes of a similar age grow up competing with each other for a lifetime, it's natural to feel that edge against your peers. You SHOULD read them though, don't just avert your eyes. Because they are your peers and you should be engaged with their work as much as yours. You will think they all suck until you find one that is undeniably good and then that shit will both humble and inspire you.

I'm going to tell you a story. This is the story of Amy Biehl, a left-wing whore (but I repeat myself) who went to South Africa to protest Apartheid a few decades ago. She went there to fight the good fight against racism and to help put communists in control of a white country.

Well, while Amy Biehl was there, she came down with a bad case of the dead, courtesy of a pack of niggers with cinder blocks. They dragged her out of her car, and smashed her little left-wing skull in in front of her parents. Now, we do not have footage of this murder, but we do have the testimony of the killers, who were all acquitted at the Truth and Reconciliation proceedings after Apartheid ended. They laughed as they recalled the girl begging for her life.

Her parents would later forgive, and befriend, her murderers. None of whom were punished. THAT is the Leftist. THAT is the white liberal. They do not love their children. It is an objective fact. You can WATCH them apologize to their daughters' murderers. You can WATCH as they simp for the people who murdered their own little baby girl, who had come to the country to try and fight for their rights.

That is the Leftist. And it isn't one story, Mollie Tibbets, Anat Kimchi--it's a million stories all exactly the same. When some shitskin slices open a good little leftist's belly, and leaves her screaming for her mother with her intestines hanging out, they don't feel anything except fear for the shitskin. "Oh no, my daughter's murder might cause people to be racist!" THAT is what they think. They don't have self-preservation instinct, they don't love their children, they don't hate murderers. Nothing will convince them.

This is the guy whom that one (nominally) Native American author got super assblasted about after picking him for an award, right? The piece the Native guy wrote about the whole thing was hilarious. Basically him coming face to face with his own racism and trying to write it off as though he’d simply been tricked.

Reminds me that one white guy who had his name on in the ballot in Chinese characters in a San Francisco election and won. Non-whites get really assblasted when you demonstrate their own racism back at them in this way.

What about celebrities? What about doctors? What about kings?

Seems to me that it all has to do with how you define the group or set, not the number of its contents.

As a white male, I agree with this.

As a decent person, I have often felt underrepresented, because all of the authors and their male characters are assholes, and I am not one.

There's a category error there but I don't have the mental capacity to articulate it right now.

Can't say I feel the same, but I mostly read fantasy. What genres do you read that make you feel this way?

The Last Psychiatrist (a good blogger back in the 00s) said something about all this. That when women and minorities are climbing the corporate/social ladder it just means that the real brains have already checked out. It seems obvious now but it was prophetic to me back then. A lot of literary talent moved elsewhere and literature as a force is probably dead.

Really want to read a book by a woman that was inspired by a a chat with another woman, probably on some shitty backyard patio, built by a 230lb man with a nice ass crack too look at while he works, probably
