This is absolute crap. Literary taste is honed by decades of intense reading. My book reviews are great because I’ve been reading longer than these kids have been alive. You can’t “reshape criticism” when you are a total noob. You should sit quietly, read, and learn.
I read the article that this image headlines, and do you want to guess how these “hot literati” reshape criticism? They claim to do it by reviewing “sex-worker adjacent literature” and “things that reveal lineages our readers might not have seen before.” These young people are too inexperienced to notice how incredibly stale this posturing is. “I’m going to be all cool and unconventional by writing about hookers” is neither new nor unconventional. It’s been done a trillion times, and it’s always deeply boring.
