Why did we stop liking it?

>>24695302Us, in other words.
Artificial hype. Solenoid was made out to be an instant pomo classic from a writer who would no doubt get his Nobel soon, and oh everyone who reads it agrees that it's a masterpiece, there's nothing else like it, he's the greatest living Romanian writer, and you better get on the S.S. Cartarescu before it leaves without you, so you can have "discovered" him before the fame, and etc. Basically he was a totem for people who were too young to have witnessed Infinite Jest's release, and who wanted so so badly their own modern landscape-shifting classic of literature.Then the hype wore off and we realized it was just mediocre Kafka worship.
