Want to see the angriest Ann Patchett has maybe ever been? Check out her rebuttal to a recent NYT op ed by David Brooks suggesting that literary fiction has lost its edge: https://youtu.be/tPrH7kqGKCY?si=S0lRArX-JaRQyu3y
I thought maybe it was an overreaction, and then I read the article and...nope, she's 100% right. Brooks' take is embarrassingly lazy. I'll sum up before linking to it, but I can't recommend Patchett's response highly enough 👇
