Name a novel by a young female author under 40 and I'll add it to the list. Preferably with some merit. Only one book per author.

>>24544067 (OP)
I don't think most 21st-century literature is good

>>24544067 (OP)
Ottessa Moshfegh is 44. That's considered young now?

>>24544078
My bad. Many female authors don't write their year of birth into their bio. Anyway, we're going for roughly millenial or younger here.

>>24544067 (OP)
Was going to recommend Femoid by S.A.B. Marcie since it was shilled by the author here a few times, but lol turns out the press unpublished it because the author was only pretending to be a half-black chick. The author was a guy, Aaron, who then claimed to be writing an account of his half-black gf's life.

The publisher, Calamari Press, wrote a nearly incomprehensible piece with some details at the halfway mark:

I know there was another guy pulling a similar ruse, but I think that was only particularly bad joke poetry in really low-stakes magazines, wheras this was a 300-page book that went through a lot of editing. Haven't found any articles about the latter case when searching up "Aaron," but I remember the guy posting his Substack here gloating about it.

In the un-publishing post, the angry editor starts off about some chatbot-written book written from a "Black POV", then says a bit about the author of Femoid claiming that recollecting the events of the book was traumatic. I don't know if that's meant to imply the author also used a chatbot to write it or what, avoiding recollection to avoid giving up the ruse.

Kinda wish I had a PDF copy of the book, but all I have from the old Asterism listing is a preview. Mostly interested because of what happened; preview didn't do much for me.

I'm glad my mom is dead by Jennette McCurdy

>>24544173
hilarious, but yeah, doesn't count then
>>24544186
worth a mention, yet definitely a memoir, not really a novel

feel like i read this over ten year ago, but the author was well under forty at the time it's a very millennial novel

>>24544228
She's 48 now, but I'll let it count since this is the first close contender.

>>24544228
>She's 48 now
damn

I just downloaded Claudine à l’École by Colette
I don't really read women authors

>>24544173
wtf. I remember the author posting about it here and being so proud to have had it published by Calamari. This was supposed to be a cutting edge experimental small press. But really they're like all the rest? Not really caring about the book beyond it being by a Black Woman, and the second that's untrue, dropping it, "unaliving" it as if there wasn't a (maybe?) good book already out there? Mad!

Would Rijneveld count? The Discomfort of Evening if so

>>24544067 (OP)
Sayaka Murata wrote convenience store woman in her early 30s

>>24544654
Well, interesting. It's on the list.
>>24544682
Madame Colette is currently in her 80s, but thanks for playing.
>>24544748
Rijneveld already has a place on the chart of 100 novels by young male writers.
>>24544854
True, but she's part of generation X. Sorry. Doesn't make the cut.

Rytual by Chloe Wilson

>>24544173
i remember the thread, which was deleted btw, and the fact that the op never bothered shilling the book again was a red flag

>>24544067 (OP)
Boy Parts - Eliza Clark

this is how you remember it
piglet
counting crows
lady macbeth

>>24545680
You've reminded me that he was using the same black queer wamyn persona on here, which is pretty funny. If the author came back and dumped the full PDF I'd be curious enough to try reading it.

>>24544067 (OP)
I want Pack Of Her Own by Elena Abbott on there

The Secret History is better than all of this shit. Too bad Tartt hasn't written anything above a 6/10 since.

>>24548235
It is because she was fully channeling her sex pest soul when she wrote it.

>>24544067 (OP)
Check out Chilco by Daniela Catrileo. Excellent novel, if you can find it in english for you angloids.

>>24544067 (OP)
As in they are under 40 right now or they were under 40 when it was written?

>>24549119

You got it.
>>24548387
Alright, that counts. The translation will be published tomorrow coincidentally.
>>24549140
Couldn't find any of those titles.

Suzanne Collins is 62, mate.

Name a replacement.

>>24544067 (OP)
Men aren't women. Revise your image, thread and list because there are men in that image.

>Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters is a 2020 book by Abigail Shrier.

She also wrote a novel, go find it.

>>24549407
Can't find a novel by Abigail Shrier, only non-fiction. I'll accept recommendations of replacements, like "hey, OP, put novel x by author y on spot number z".

>>24544067 (OP)
Children of men. Great book, but one of the few i kinda prefer the movie, though i saw the movie first and us very well done.

>>24549469
Do you mean The Children of Men? The novel by a certain P. D. James, a.k.a. Phyllis Dorothy James White, Baroness James of Holland Park? If so, she was born in 1920. Most certainly not young today.

>>24549483
Oh, yeah sorry. Forgot she was that old. Reading this right now. From a historical perspective it's very cool. From a thematic standpoint it's kinda meh so far. I got distracted about a quarter way through reading it which is not usually a good sign. Doesn't quite hold my attention.
I looked it up and she's younger than i am.

>>24549614
Ugh two male protags just kissed :(

Alright, OP here, thread's been up for two days now. Time to deliver. Whatever was mentioned in here or posted in other threads is on there. Drumroll...

>>24544067 (OP)
One of these has to be good.

Voilà!

It's funny seeing all the self-pubbed /lit/ shills on the male chart. At least 15% of it. The Last Binge Ever (62) isn't even a novel, it's jut a collection of /lit/ posts made by a depressed Londoner who is recognisable for his repetitiveness (I've read volume 1 or something and it's more or less the same post over and over). Still, there are entries on there that I haven't heard of that I trust could be good, although out of the few excellent young male authors I've read I see zero.
