The spontaneous ideology of American liberals is that the state and the market are just pass-throughs for what "we" want, which suggests that the most effective political action is basically to clap your hands if you believe in Tinker Bell.

So I really liked your description of the contemporary autofiction period--but my question is still about the beginning of this tendency, autofiction being its latest manifestation? McGurl says that modernist fiction became "literary fiction" and everything else debased genre fiction.

I need to correct myself--non-English prose is still unafraid of plot and adventure, and that is why it is immensely more interesting.

One thing I can do right now—here’s the Illustrator file where I traced "THE TYRANTS FOE THE PEOPLES FRIEND" woodcut—if you have access to a laser you can carve this baby in linoleum & print with it all you like—make sure to reverse it (prints are mirrored)
