She's correct. Most autofiction is fucking awful. Celine is the only worthwhile autofiction writer because he still had imagination. All these hacks writing about their life as if they have actually lived through anything should be forced into wagie jobs.

>Most of Toni Morrison’s books are centered on the Black American experience, specifically exploring how characters struggle to find their identity, self-worth, and cultural heritage within an unjust society.

This is why pithy advice is bad.
"Write what you know" doesn't mean just write your life. It just means write characters and themes that represent your own natural ideas and tendencies. It is in fact fine to have a self insert character because inevitably people and thus characters only fall into so many categories. Self insert character doesn't mean self insert plot.

I dont know who that is so I thought this was a clickhole style meme about some random grandma saying this which would be sorta funny

Thanks Toni very interesting

That said she is worth reading because her novels were full of sex and bannable content at the time she wrote them which means she was taking her art seriously

I wouldn't say anything, I would listen, because that's what no one else did
>>
>>25555935
why would I respond with something I agree with, for the most part? I do think there is worth in sourcing from your lived experience but stories should transcend the author.

I don't know. I like hearing stories from people's lives.

Why do you have to be such a cunt?

Nigger BITCH.

I have no clue who that is or why I should give the faintest and daintiest of farts about her opinion on literally anything ever.

One more thing; that isn't even what "write what you know" means. So whoever they are they are a idiot.
>>
>>25555935
I can object what she's saying on a conceptual level, but seeing how much shallow autobiographical "woe is me" bullshit there currently is in mainstream media, not even just literature, I can't say she's wrong.
Maybe don't write what you know if what you know is boring, trite, and has already been done a thousand times before anyways.
