"Narcissist. Starved for attention. Compulsive liar!"
From today’s Unsolicited at Gawker:
Here at Unsolicited, we’re all about the gross generalizations. Stereotypes are fun! (And, you know, usually pretty much true). Besides, no one reads this column anymore. Doesn’t matter what I write. Blah, blah, blah. Editors are dumb! Authors are lazy drunks! Anywho, for the two people (hi guys) who care, here are some character assassinations of authors based on book genre:
- Literary Fiction (male author): Pretentious assholes, n’duh.
- Literary Fiction (female author–debut): She thinks it’s really cool how you like her book. I mean, she wasn’t sure if anyone would get it. But you really do. Right? You’re sure it’s okay?
When they get into the non-tradebook authors, it’s like being at my old job.
