Need a hot feminist take need a hot feminist take. Oh I know

“A woman could never write Finnegans Wake or Ulysses”

10 points

I heard a hot take that Ulysses is anti-imperialist literature that preserves memory of Dublin as a living city in resistance to British assimilationism. Put that in your pipe and smoke it condescending suburban white lady!

Lol I got confused at first and I thought the post was saying that literature is when men write nonsense.

Sometimes yes but I thought the tweet was saying that that’s what literature is, in general.

Oh my b.

I’ve read some “literature” that’s men making up nonsense but you’re right it’s not all that

She’s awesome. Less stream-of-consciousness, more philosophy and humor. A Severed Head is the one I’ve read most recently, and it’s hilarious. Haven’t read The Black Prince yet but I’ve heard good things.

No they’re saying a woman could never write a book as bad as Finnegan’s wake or Ulysses as they are saying those books are hard to read and unentertaining.

I kinda like Finnegan’s wake. It makes zero sense and isn’t readable but it has some sentences I really like.

Marguerite Young, too. The fact that she’s frequently out of print is not James Joyce’s fault.
