/lit/ - Literature

Just finished pic related, and I'm honestly astounded at how positive the reception was. Every review talks about how "human" she becomes, but she literally cannot experience most negative emotions. How can someone be human if they can't experience anger, hate, frustration, etc. The book is filled with such blatant contradictions that it never addresses, and yet still managed to make so many "best of 2021" lists. So along with everything people have already said here, I also think that the "critical" side of literature is content to praise shallow works. It's not just that common people are content with easily digestible morals: this stuff is apparently Nobel worthy (which, even if it doesn't matter to you, it's the perception of authority and authenticity which is significant).

I haven't read that, but I just finished pic related and found it quite enjoyable.
It seems like Ishiguro has a developed style considering the sci-fi in Klara is treated in a very casual manner, much like >>20668617 mentioned. It doesn't take up the focus, and I enjoyed it for that.

Please please tell me Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go will be better than this trite piece of shit
