>tfw wrote a paragraph saying how shit Sally Rooney is and it didn't even post

Here's a great example of her amazing prose.
>‘He puts his hands in his pockets and suppresses an irritable sigh, but suppresses it with an audible intake of breath, so that it still sounds like a sigh.’
This woman got the highest marks possible in the best college in Ireland along with Beckett.
She has no self-awarness, she has no skill at writing real characters, she doesn't know how they talk and she doesn't know how they act. She got lost in the middle class fantasy of going to a good college and is that far up her own ass she manages to write two books about le commie empowered teenage girls with one book having the most autistic man in the world falling in love with her (he's also the most popular guy at the seocndary school while her self-insert isn't liked because she's """"different""") She had th audacity to talk shit about the quality of Yeats' writing while producing this dogshit and being praised for it. I know this thread is bait but I can't help replying because that woman is the personification of the death of Irish literature. The people who read the book praise it for the same things people praise Ulysses for. She wrote a YA sex novel that's being treated as revolutionary.
