Is this the only /lit/-approved YA fiction?

Read whatever the fuck you want. You don't need our approval if you legit enjoy something.

Is 'He Rapes his Sister, Phoebe', considered YA?

It's too hard to define these things. Is Tom Sawyer YA? What about Robin Hood or Anne of Green Gables?

>> No.6208488

>>6208482
YA is just a marketing genre, like Classic Rock--Tom Sawyer, Robin Hood, that's all classic lit and whether teens can read it doesn't make it YA.

How is M&M considered YA? Are you dumb? All the surreal stuff in it is just Bulgakov's style, inspired by Russian folk lore. It isn't there to pander to the muh fantasy demographic.

Nothing Bulgakov has ever written could be categorized as YA. What kind of idiot would even begin to insinuate that? Some sjw-pleb at reddit perhaps...

Have you even read M and M?

any book named after a tune in either a major or minor key is fucking YA or Children's shit. The other church or jazz modes like dorian or lydian is where they start to become Adult reads, and if they're based off a serialist opera then they're Literature.

Of course not, because I don't approve of this unnecessary waste of paper spoiling the minds of impressionable young people.

It sure is a fucking shame that manuscripts don't burn, because I know of one that could've been used to fuel a cozy little fire.

I know OP is trolling, but I read M&M when I was twelve and really enjoyed it mostly because of all the fantastic elements.
