Significantly misunderstanding what a literary crisis is . People are having a hard time spelling and speaking long words , they're not reading critically and only engaging with the surface level of the text. These are all literary crisis. Also fairy porn doesn't help with it.
Only Toni Morrison was not exactly starting over when she was 39. She had been writing The Bluest Eye since she was 34. And by then she was an editor in a prestigious publishing company, and also she had a hell of an education, an adventurous youth. The story needs more nuance.
@Mojdeh63010439@JoshuaBarzon Technically, you can do that too in many languages like Filipino with only declensions and conjugations. A non-linguist probably made this map.
Lenin legalized homosexuality, Cuba is currently one of the safest places in the world for queer people. Vietnam never went against gay ppl nearly as hard as like 90% of the world. like i don't understand this argument at all, yes, historically there have been socialist states-
@mecagoendioss_ it’s mainly because of the popularity of authors like Hemingway who a lot of people are inspired by. Editors and writing classes advise you to chop down sentences too if they don’t serve a purpose. But I still find some rich writing from non-native or translated authors.
Letterboxd is one of the most clear recent examples of how a website can shape certain behaviors we express socially online (vs the myth that it organically represents desires/personalities/tendencies), especially given how fast it took root, I wish more people saw it as such
Increasingly you see this smug anti-intellectualism that’s gleefully contemptuous of the greatest art, music and literature. If you find yourself hating 90 percent of widely beloved classics, the problem isn’t them, it’s you.
