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.

Not really sure that's right either--there is still plot in modernist fiction, so *certain* kind of modernist fiction becomes elevated to "literary fiction"? when?
comment in response to post
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) drive.google.com/file/d/1fV32...
