Sorry if posting has been light. Life is getting busy again. That said, I could not let this story go...
A while back, I told the tale of Amelie Zhao and the woke-scolds that brought down her debut novel. Well it has happened again...but this time with a twist - the novelist who has been forced to rescind publication of his own novel, Kosoko Jackson, was part of the mob that brought down Blood Heir. Apparently his characters weren't woke enough, and the fact that the tale centered around two Americans(THE HORROR!) during the Balkans Conflict was just too much.
Maybe we don't need to push back too hard against the woke-scolds. At this rate, they'll simply eat themselves. Maybe then we can get back to enjoying books again.
