![MFA fiction”—ordered with extra solipsism by the CIA—has made for eloquent and blistering pans, but serves primarily as a voodoo doll of the Iowa Writer’s Workshop.[2] Textbook examples of MFA style (“Was it the woman in the lace-top thigh-highs, chemise wrap, or the Taylor strapless bra”—a character browsing the Victoria’s Secret catalogue in Grover’s piece from Noah Baumbach’s Kicking & Screaming) are vague enough to read as projections of anxiety about literature’s unstreamable irrelevance, which academics and rank-and-file Submitters would prefer to attribute to guys in your MFA and publishers’ aping of algorithmic data-ism, rather than face a Roadesque apocalyptic landscape where publishers can’t sell books, and literary agents gatekeep a mainstream that doesn’t exist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ong7e3cf7r4n2qoat3dfpxtc/bafkreicfy63ke4rm4mvkdew5sfw2ner2yj76gszjcyedio5l2c7rnc6cee)
