There was a time when well-spoken peons wrote the greatest books ever written. Today, literature is the domain of academics, and literary conversation, to whatever degree it still occurs outside of this board, can only exist as an appendage to the topics of race an gender, and sometimes economics. Do anons know of any living writer, from any western nation, that is still writing about LIFE? Sometimes funny, sometimes makes you want to eat a pistol, occasionally wonderful, and almost always absurd LIFE?And why do you think this has happened? Are the voices of the common thinkers doomed to silence by the shadow of monoculture and the mind corroding effects that AI will soon have on the human species? It makes me sad to think about. But I still hope. And I still write.
In Twain's time academics had far more control of the literary world than they have for a long time, to the point that they dictated how novels were written and what they could be written about. Twain made it big by exploiting the celebrity he built off of his early works which were targeted at people who were educated but not educated in literature, the bourgeois.Most every author under the lit fiction label is writing about life, AI has rotted your brain.

books have been commercial products for the last 2 centuries, so why do you expect any of them to be of quality when their only purpose is to increase the PnL of their IP holders?Right after the revolutions both the bourgeois and the peons were still riding the per-revolutionist standards, by pure inertia. Then After their WW1, the bourgeois decided to break away from those standards and just pass their stream of desires as mystical experience lol
But still I hope, and I still write.
