Red Robichaux is a book that delves deep into family lore on both sides. So grateful that an aunt from either side came out this evening.

Every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
Classic novels simply aren't relatable. Even contemporary literature is often about things I have never personally experienced. My preferred genre is autobiographical fiction that I have written myself

The essay that came from this is out tomorrow @WordOnFire in Evangelization and Culture online.
Is it possible that the advent of AI in the lit world has helped to open the way for people to be more honest about how bad a lot of contemporary writing is?
