#literacy!

crazy how they just let books that are almost excellent hang out and exist in the world. just for me personally to find and be disappointed by.

gay men really are just out here writing hilariously poor female characters. i would take one performative straight man over a thousand misogynistic gay men any day because at least the latter has to actually pretend to gaf about women as people, fuck the lgbt alliance me and dayle with his $12 oat milk matcha latte and copy of the bell jar are bros now

my oxford year is such a profoundly bad book on almost every level I can think of. badly written boring plot thin characters and, of course, #unwoke. stay tuned for the inevitable essay I write about it

I’m like 2 chapters into harrow the ninth & icl I’m finding the writing a bit more of a struggle than gideon. muir will sometimes just phrase something really oddly or have dialogue that feels so incredibly inauthentic in a way that imo wasnt as present in gtn. why are all the space necromancers clearly tumblrinas

omg hey guys do you think this book about memory & identity…is about memory and identity??? mind blown

heartwarming! local man with amnesia still able to write in perfect mfa literary prose
