You have be so much smarter than this to pull off the Harold Bloom schtick
Imagine studying music and being taught that Beethoven's greatest achievement was revealing the class structures of nineteenth-century Europe. That's essentially what happens in far too many English departments.

there are far better questions to answer, like “it’s 10pm. do you know where your children are?”
Is Autofiction Dead? Will AI Kill the Novel? Do Men Read? Is Substack a Trap? Who Throws the Best Readings? Do MFAs Still Matter? What City Has the Best Literary Scene? At the link in bio, we ask 34 authors, publishers, critics, BookTokkers, and literary luminaries (including @levarburton, @laurenoyler @HelloMattStarr, @smitty1423, @sufiyaansalam, @chelseahodson, and more) to get real about the world of books in 2026 gq.visitlink.me/dHLNYl

I wrote this story a few years ago and for the longest time, I was convinced it was the best thing I'd ever written. There's something special about seeing it find a home in Hobart after all these years & it makes me even happier knowing it was @jrostopovich who made it happen<3

Who gives a flying fuck about Taylor Swift’s wedding photos? Who could find a way to care about something so bread-and-circus when elections are reversing the billionaire-worshipping tide? All billionaires deserve our contempt, not our apologetics.
