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 vibeszoomers, have nothing, they dont read books, they dont write booksi expect gen alpha to return to monkey
>>25178525>pynchon
>>25178525Who?
>>25179239You're so clever and biting anon
>>25178525Probably, 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.
>>25178525Go 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.

>>25178525Pynchon 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?
>>25179263It 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.
>>25180600Well, no. Gen X almost did with DFW. He's a great writer imo, just not quite first-rate.
>>25178525such a repulsive image.
>>25180605>sheThere's your answer.
>>25178525Yes but they won't write books
I'm a literate zumzum and I write good. So yes.
