this take is funny considering that the writing he’s dismissing includes one of the most interesting short stories I’ve read — about basque independence, imperialism & torture. amongst many other considered & skilled pieces. but I guess a pink background cancels that out.
If one thing ties the NYC Trust Fund Kid Literary World together, it’s a commitment to the formula “character = trauma + consumption habits.” It’s an incredibly bleak view of human life, and one that could only be invented by people who have never actually thought about anything.

I think the discussion of privilege is important but also shouldn’t be used to dismiss work by writers who are not a monolith (and who certainly are not all of the same class background). I also don’t think “people who have never thought about anything” is a good critique.
