For me, shitty style / lazy writing make me put a book down immediately. I was raised on the worship of style you find in writers like Flaubert or Nabokov (who also happened to have deplorable political views) and I can’t shake it.
Others commented here recently that making every female character in a story into a sex object is a bad thing.
What are some reasons you’ll put a book down after you’ve spent at least a little time giving it a try?
There’s a lot of incest too. Then also I don’t know if it’s a Spanish thing because I’m maybe not even an intermediate but when be writes “mujer” it’s translated into English as “wife” even though I think “mujer” just means woman?
The site you posted seems to be making fun of Cormac McCarthy. He writes muscular prose which means long sentences connected by like twenty ands.
mujer means woman but if you put a possesive before it means wife example
su mujer his wife
mi mujer my wife
tu mujer your wife
la mujer the woman
Thank you, I wasn’t sure.

yeah it's pretty common to refer to wife as mujer or mi mujer
Hispanic culture is pretty chauvinistic lol (but don't let the right wingers know that, unless they're Franco stans already)
