Has any woman in the past 50 years written anything worth reading? Picunrel I haven't read it

If you ever want to fuck a litchick then you must read it, or at least one book like it. Yeah they love drug addicted fuckups like Dennis Johnson and women haters like Bukowski but they expect you to say Woolfe or Honor Levy. Just perform the humiliation ritual and get on with your life as trad/right wing women don't read at all.

I liked Piranesi.

Pathetic. Literally teenage girl level of understanding of the literary landscape.
Now I must require every single anon in this thread to post tits, as by protocol.

Rachel Kushner. I loved Creation Lake.
Louis Glück is another. The Wild Iris.
True Love by Sarah Gerard is also great, but it's extremely ragebaity. You'll probably hate it, but that's its whole purpose.

>>24732155

>this is /lit/ 101 why are you surprised
Not suprised about that, more about the fact that they are supposed to be pseuds.
They should have googled the last female author to win a nobel, a pulitzer or a booker prize. Not the stuff you hear about on BookTok.

I will have to console myself with getting my balls licked by a woman who reads and then her making some coffee for me.

Anything by Jenny Erpenbeck is legit. I had pre-ordered Kairos and that book is fantastic. IHotel by Karen Tei Yamashita is one of my utter favorites. Louise Glueck mentioned, she's a great poet, I like Fanny Howe too. /lit/ likes Camille Paglia, so do I, Sexual Personae is a nice thick book that is very academic, very intensive to read. I recommend The Copenhagen Trilogy by Tove Ditlevsen and her poetry collection.

Honestly other than booktok romantasy slop most books are "worth reading." It's nice to see the other perspective. I definitely liked Honor Levy's book, I think /lit/izens with a contemporary bend can appreciate Sally Rooney's first and third books if you want to understand what exactly people are reading. I like Andrea Dworkin a lot, just read her memoir and Woman Hating, about to start Intercourse next. Her arguments are pretty fascinating and very hard to discredit, I admire her person.

Don't listen to this virgin who knows nothing about women, they only want to lick the balls of a man they respect, if that means reading 1 fucking book with a female author. I'll take that Faustian bargain.

No one is talking about this by Patricia Lockwood is very well written but the first half is kind of nothingy in a way that's too nothingy to even say anything about how nothingy it is, second half was very good though.
>>
>>24732274
Is this Honor Levy? No one expects anyone to read Honor Levy
>>
>>24732155
I haven't read it either but I like Moshfegh's short stories
>>
>>24733187
I hope she hangs out here as much as y'all think she does. I think she's neat.
>>
>>24733324
I had no interest in her until I looked her up and found Redditoids seething and calling her the worst author they have ever read.
>>
>>24732274
>trad/right wing women don't read at all
Right-wing people read far less compared to liberals, and white right-wing men read way, way, WAY less than any other demographic group. There's a solid chance that /lit/ contains 1/3 to 1/2 of all white right-wing men who read in America.

>>24733324
she lurks here sometimes and shilled her book here some. I hope she knows I want to impregnate her. I hope she knows I want to coat her face in cum. I don't really care about her books at all, I just want to knock her up. Will I ever be able to do that? No. But I can think about it while jerking off to pictures of her.

>>24733360
Good for you. It’s nice to have dreams.
