There’s been a clarification on the question I answered yesterday:
OK, now I get it, thank you. Yes, there’s a large amount of literature that’s downright political messaging with no additional value. Think poetry by Amanda Gorman. It’s bad, there’s not a spark of talent in it but she gets promoted because it’s politically useful.
In what concerns novels, I want to mention The Deluge by Stephen Markley. He is the author of one of the best novels of American literature of this century, Ohio (2018). I had high hopes for him but then he went full-on propagandist and came up with the unreadable The Deluge. Such a waste of great talent.
Joyce Maynard, who was quite talented in her younger years, also has gone psycho propagandist in the past decade. I can’t even read the garbage she has been churning out.
Overall, just grab the list of the Oprah Book Club, and you’ll see the emanation of the leftist spirit on full view.
