What has been the best book of the 2020’s? There have been some good works…right?

>>24468353 (OP)
the passenger
boy parts
pynchon's upcoming book in october might be a contender as well

Novels are dead, dude. All of the narrative talents work in film, animation, and video games.

>>24468510
Like what? Also
>video game narratives
Lol
Films maybe but animation hasn't had a good showing in a while imo

How about the best books of the 21st century, even that's slim pickins

>>24468524
Film - Oppenheimer, The Batman, The Northman, Shogun, The Terror
Animation - Attack on Titan, 86, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Vinland Saga, Chainsaw Man, Spiderman Across the Spider-Verse, The Boy and the Heron,
Video Games - Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, God of War: Ragnarok, Pentiment, Cyberpunk 2077

Just to name a few. All of these are at least decent relative to any novel from the last 5 years. If you don’t want to include stuff based on older source material just exclude those.

Truly riveting storytelling, anon.

>The Last of Us Part 2
Had me in the first half. GG

i don't play games for narratives i play games to play games, read this for the first non-shit take on aesthetics of video games

>>24468569
>The Boy and the Heron
Maybe the only one on this list that's decent, and only because of the animation quality
I'm not trying to be snarky here but those are very mediocre in terms of storytelling

>>24468627
Oh and
>relative to any novel
See: >>24468359

i liked uncanny valley, def captures the peak of the zirp age sort like how fear and loathing in lv captured the peak of hippy/nixon stuff.

>>24468614
I never even played it. Do people not love that game for the story? It’s highly rated.

> muh high brow taste
> muh not liking anything normies like
Okay enjoy your 1 decent film every 20 years then retard. No skin off my nose.

>>24468569
>Oppenheimer
most overrated shit I've seen

>>24468636
These suck ass. The Passenger was dog shit.

>>24468668
Overrated =\= not good at all

did u dudes see that german movie "afire" its about struggling writer who's bad with women so i figure it would really be a hit with the /lit/ crowd

>>24468353 (OP)
I liked Trust by Hernan Diaz despite the you know what.

>>24468671
>Overrated =\= not good at all
It's okay for what it is. It's not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination.

>>24468667
There's plenty of good movies that released relatively recently anon, About dry grasses, parasite, three billboards, etc. And no I'm not a high brow connoisseur, I liked Ready or Not a lot and I've actually seen a decent amount of stuff on your list. This is just talking about the quality of writing, which I think novels still reign supreme in.
