"Big 5 publishing will not allow nuanced male writing, which is why publishing is devoid of healthy masculine energy." What a terrible world to grow up in. That's why the Zac Smiths and Dolan Morgans abandon reality for their weird dream-worlds. Or Jordon Castro writes about going to the bathroom. They're not allowed to exist in or comment on the reality around them.
Damaged Women was a good read. I'll definitely have to check out Aesthetica, The Rabbit Hutch, and I Fear My Pain Interests You.
What I found really fascinating about the piece was how for the supreme avatar of the white Brooklyn tote-bag lady literature that Perez blasted in his Hobart interview, he actually points to an Asian American author, Celeste Ng, in the Mars Review piece. It makes sense, though, because imitators have to carefully and meticulously study their subjects, to the point where they can out-original the original, almost like a caricature. And no other group has model minority'ed more successfully than Asian Americans, especially elite Asian American women, in terms of becoming politically, economically, and socially indistinguishable from white people.
