“…if Norman Mailer can refuse to read an entire group of authors based on their gender and his estimation of their worthlessness, then so can I.”
i love this so much.
i feel like i have at least a decade of avoiding white male authors ahead of me; i’m trying to make up for all the ones i was forced to read in school! i refuse Jonathan Franzen as well. and i have no regrets.

I almost included a "white men I wish I hadn't read" section but that felt like a different thought exercise entirely.
