Of course Sally Rooney captures contemporary life and conversations better than Tolkien did. Thatās the whole point of her writing, thatās the goal of contemporary fiction. It is not at all the point of Tolkienās writing because he wrote genre fantasy and thatās a completely other thing. That doesnāt make Rooney better than Tolkien, it just means they were accomplished in different areas.
Itās fine if you donāt like genre fiction, you can just say that. But judging the LOTR fish on how well it climbs the contemporary lit tree is silly.

I agree 100%. I suppose that Harry Potter is closer to contemporary literature, but the magic in that book series is almost as broken as the magic in Dragonball. Then again, magic is mainly the domain of the gods and certain ancient villains.

Harry Potter is also genre fantasy. Itās just middle grade (as in the target audience, not the quality) low fantasy rather than adult high fantasy.
iāve never watched Dragonball so I canāt comment on itās magic system. But for HP at least, I donāt think the magic system is broken so much as itās just a soft magic system and because the target audience is younger the magic is treated more as a fun element than a serious one. Children donāt care about the logical implications of Hermoineās time travel or any other such stuff.

Omg Vox has got it right. ā(ĖāæĖc)
Jane Friedman refutes this, but sheās wrong imho. (āÆ^.^į¦)
Sorry, Jane, but youāre out of touch. If you want to sell books today you have to sell your soul. Vox has described my life. (ć_<ć)ć¾(Ā“ā½ļ½)

Donāt do the boring stuff that everyone else does, and saturate TikTok with that. Youāre smarter than that.

Aww, thanks for the vote of confidence! Usually people tell me Iām stoopid. (>āæā )
But no worries, Iām never going on TikTok. I donāt even visit it. Everyone else would drown me out there anyhow, so thereās no point. You canāt be heard if you shout in a room where everyone else is shouting too. Iāll have to figure something else out once I get a good book series together. I just wonāt worry about it until then.

Michelle Schusterman has also responded to the Vox article, and I agree with her a thousand percent. (*ļ¼¾-ā) ä¹
