[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have noticed the recent genre of Immigration Trauma Lit. There are so many trauma dumping stories in the American story market. These books are not getting international publishing rights because very few people outside of yhe US is interested in it. I also would not call them writers. They are very much story-tellers. Good writing has a way with words that transports and lends depth to the narrative. Storytelling is just that - this happened, then that happened....as if writing a screenplay draft. Amy Tan & Edwidge Danticat are prime examples of well known Immigration Trauma Lit storytellers.[/quote] Don't worry, there are lots of books about boring, privileged white women by boring, privileged white women for boring, privileged white women like you to read.
