The Sunday Read: ‘An Acerbic Young Writer Takes Aim at the Identity Era’
Manage episode 446005847 series 3229354
There was something distinctly unrelaxed about the way that Tony Tulathimutte, one of the more talented young writers at work in America today, announced the publication of “The Feminist,” a new short story, back in the fall of 2019.
“To be clear in advance,” Tulathimutte wrote on Twitter, “feminism is good, this character is not good.”
These days, when the faintest gust of heterodoxy is enough to start an internet stampede, it may be wise to put some moral distance between yourself and your protagonists, but as Tulathimutte soon found out, it’s no guarantee you won’t be caught in the crush.
