The female gender, on the other hand, cannot mimic anything, for it is betrayed immediately by its \u2018weakness\u2019 \u2026 even the publishing industry and the media are convinced of this commonplace; both tend to shut women who write away in a literary gynaeceum \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/sep\/02\/elena-ferrante-speculation-she-could-be-man-italian-novelist\" target=\"_blank\">we\u2019re dealing with a new tradition of women writers who are becoming more competent, more effective<\/a>, are growing tired of the literary gynaeceum and are on furlough from gender stereotypes.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>We often praise fiction for its ambiguity, which is counterintuitive\u2014normally we admire good writing for its clarity, and more confusingly still it seems that the best fiction is at once clear and ambiguous: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nybooks.com\/blogs\/nyrblog\/2015\/sep\/01\/clearing-up-ambiguity\/\" target=\"_blank\">so what do we mean when we celebrate ambiguous fiction<\/a>? \u201cAmbiguity, uncertainty, multiplicity are positive in literature in so far as they act as a corrective against a dominant and potentially harmful manipulative hubris \u2026 the novelist has to be truly open to the world he describes; it is the multiplicity he then inevitably lets into the text that overwhelms the petty habit of knowing better\u2026 Nothing is less attractive, in a poem or novel, than the feeling that \u2018ambiguity\u2019 has simply been constructed or contrived.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s a rich ambiguity about the nose, at least insofar as it figures in literature. Gogol\u2019s story \u201cThe Nose\u201d \u201cwas but one part of <a href=\"http:\/\/lithub.com\/a-literary-history-of-the-nose\/\" target=\"_blank\">a larger body of literature improbably concerned with, of all things, the human nose<\/a> \u2026 The history of the written nose is rich, varied, and wildly unpredictable, marshaled for a host of potential uses and meanings from slapstick gag to moral emblem to racial signifier.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Stephen King recently wrote an Op-Ed defending novelists who publish (very) regularly, including himself and Joyce Carol Oates. But it\u2019s time to take a stand against prolificacy: \u201cKing concludes his op-ed by saying that he\u2019s glad Ms. Oates continues to write new books \u2018because,\u2019 he says, \u2018I want to read them.\u2019 I wonder if he really has. If anyone has read them all. Or truly does anxiously await the next one\u2019s arrival \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.themillions.com\/2015\/09\/thats-too-much-the-problem-with-prolific-writers.html\" target=\"_blank\">When considering huge bodies of work<\/a>, there\u2019s still the uncertainty about where to enter and where to go next once you\u2019ve found a way in.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The tremendous resurgence of so-called \u201cnature writing\u201d reveals the inadequacy of the term: \u201c \u2018Nature writing\u2019 has become a cant phrase, branded and bandied out of any useful existence, and I would be glad to see its deletion from the current discourse \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newstatesman.com\/culture\/nature\/2015\/09\/robert-macfarlane-why-we-need-nature-writing\" target=\"_blank\">The best of the recent writing is ethically alert, theoretically literate and wary of the seductions and corruptions of the pastoral<\/a>. It is sensitive to the dark histories of landscapes and to the structures of ownership and capital that organize\u2014though do not wholly produce\u2014our relations with the natural world \u2026 Some of this writing is kick-up-the-arse furious, some is elegiac, some is about disease and dispossession, some is about dignity and the deepening of knowledge. Across its range, moral engagement and hope are consistently in evidence.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elena Ferrante would like to remind you, now that her
