Will Gen Z ever produce a literary figure as lauded and original as Cormac, Bellow, Pynchon, etc?
>>
nope, you can see each generation getting less and less literate.

gen x had guys like dfw, brett easton ellis, Chuck Palahniuk.

millennials had the whole "alt lit" thing, very hipster vibes

zoomers, have nothing, they dont read books, they dont write books

i expect gen alpha to return to monkey

You're so clever and biting anon
>>
>>25178525
Probably, but they will go unnoticed for many years because gen z doesn't know reality outside of tiktok

Zoomers are animals. Not human in any way that matters.

Go to your preferred AI and type in "examples of gen-z litfic" and see if it doesn't return a list of results. It's not that they don't exist, but they're hardly feted on the scale of their predecessors because literature has become radically marginalized in our culture. Publishing houses used to roll out the fanfare and marketing campaigns to peddle books, and now they're quietly placed on Amazon for the discerning and adventurous few.

Pynchon and Bellow were genii. Cormac was a genre-fiction scribbler.

It's possible. The millennial generation really dropped the ball with literature and that might give the zoomers something to challenge in a productive way.

Have millenials even done that yet?

It gave me Honor Levy when I asked for Gen Z writers who have the potential to be on McCarthy's level. Is she that good? I don't read new stuff.
>>
>>25180600
Well, no. Gen X almost did with DFW. He's a great writer imo, just not quite first-rate.
>>
>>25178525
such a repulsive image.
>>
>>25180605
>she
There's your answer.
>>
>>25178525
Yes but they won't write books
>>
I'm a literate zumzum and I write good. So yes.
