But why isn't anything writing like it anymore? America is still a decadent rich society with an upper crust partying leisurely espousing retarded ideas and stepping on pathetic and weak poor people, but is there a single good book that can combine a fiction based on their pastime with verbose and lofty emotional experience?None of the characters in the book and very complex, nor is the plot beyond the readily imaginable, so please can we get a 2025 equivalent with private jets, international resorts and elite parties? Have our writers simply stopped living with an open heart anymore? No intelligent liberal arts students to give expression to the practically minded zealots; it just feels we have become so poorly inarticulate.
They’ll just watch Succession and get a vaguely similar idea.Anyway, who gives a shit about high school lit? You should have hammered out these hangups in class with Mr. Teach.
>>24733315People still write about people having a lavish lifestyle, just look at A Little Life by Yanagihara. The thing is, those books aren't any good because the publisher picked up the author based on her race and gender and not her skills or talent.
>>24733315the money is in hollywood so a lot of the more talented writers are trying to tell stories in films or streaming shows and the writers who are writing books about the great gatsby are all communist trannies
>>24733315>Have our writers stopped living with an open heart anymore?I think this is part of it. Ask a published shitlib writer to eke out a novel on contemporary wealth, and it will be personal grievances and petty seething. They wouldn't try to humanize the wealthy as Fitzgerald did. Too much ressentiment these days. Don't know how you'd fix that.
>>24733315Real life isn't interesting anymore. Even the rich mostly live through screens now. You'd end up with a story about how a day trader bribed a twitter mod to boost his post but he got ratioed by a random anime pfp anyway so now he's sad or something.
