so many more interesting things—and just as many annoying things!—happening in literature in 2025. wtf are we doing here, man?
I want to popularize a term of art for this particular litfic genre trope: the Sad Boner Professor.
It's a novel about a Professor (usually of American Literature). He is Sad. Also, he has a Boner. His boner is inordinately interested in the sexy, sexy student: also, he's sad because: wife.

Rejection was the best book I’ve read so far this year. So great
Amid all the idiot chatter about men and reading, men and writing, some of the best books I've read lately are by men about masculinity, and instead of baseless whingeing, we could be talking about these:
Mark Haber, Lesser Ruins
Tony Tulathimutte, Rejection
Andrew Lipstein, Something Rotten

The defensiveness/cope of Broncos fans is really admirable when the team is bad and really really annoying when they have any sort of expectations
Every season, there is a new fanbase who gets very weird about their QB. This year, I am sad to report that it's the Broncos.
