I like how the titling conventions of ben shapiro youtube videos have seeped into mainstream news outlets. Or wait what the opposite of “like”

Great point.

Bernie Bros say they want to fight the billionaire class but they're spending all morning attacking the only woman politician who's ever killed a billionaire. Remind me again what these people stand for? 🙄

Excellent review of a terrifying book.

“Plunged inside” is a horrifying phrase.

I knew what this revive was before clicking and I'd just like to say I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

yeah i couldn't get beyond the headline, the subject matter is too radioactive

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:16 (six years ago)

Can't help but be wary of exofiction as a subgenre.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:16 (six years ago)

Wait, it doesn't seem to be called that in English. What's the equivalent?

"Before the novel gets to its fork in history, there is a lot of self-consciously steamy sex."

xp: I'd go with "terrible bullshit"

I owned republicanerotica.com for a year and could never bring myself to do things like write about Ted Cruz plunging inside Ann Coulter. Apparently this author has a stronger stomach than I do.

Pomenitul: allohistory?

no new snail to snell (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:52 (six years ago)

That ones comes close. In French, the term 'exofiction' (fictionalized biography) is an explicit callback to 'autofiction' (fictionalized autobiography), which doesn't have an exact English equivalent either.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:55 (six years ago)

Oh, we just say "historical fiction" for things that could have happened, but are not being presented as documented fact. Or things that are "based on a true story" but feature invented dialogue and may not have unfolded in exactly the way depicted in the text.

Alternate or alternative history is a different genre - what if Lee had attacked here instead of there, what if FDR had stayed neutral, what if Oswald had come down with a cold, what if Wellington had eaten bad oysters, what if Trump had been smothered in infancy by a deranged babysitter.... (oh wait, that last was pure fantasy)

no new snail to snell (Ye Mad Puffin), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 21:02 (six years ago)

Exofiction is specifically biographical, which is why I think it applies to the novel under discussion, but it doesn't necessarily play with alternative histories. Perhaps 'counterfactual exofiction' would be a more precise designation.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 21:12 (six years ago)

the term is "real person slash"

(or I guess just RPF in the case of the book

like, I’m eating an elephant head (katherine), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 22:19 (six years ago)

Thanks, we're getting closer. It seems more disparaging and 'lowbrow' than what exofiction typically covers in French, though. Like, I wouldn't think of describing Jean Echenoz's Ravel as real person slash.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 22:23 (six years ago)

Curtis Sittenfeld is quite a good writer. I'd quite like to read this. Hillary looks very nice on the cover.

the pinefox, Thursday, 21 May 2020 09:09 (six years ago)

plunge into the pages, pinefox

(so serious) (DJP), Thursday, 21 May 2020 11:04 (six years ago)

i haven't read sittenfeld but this novel and the one about laura bush seem weird

treeship., Thursday, 21 May 2020 11:30 (six years ago)

i'm skeptical but maybe great literature can come from this premise, who knows. hillary is an interesting kind of figure

treeship., Thursday, 21 May 2020 11:33 (six years ago)

Looking FWD to pinefox's report already.

I finished the Netflix documentary the other night. I had a habit of watching it late at night, so I'd drift and rewind a lot...As befits the subject, not sure what I thought. The saddest part was post-healthcare, where she looked lost. Watching election night 2016 still feels stunning.

clemenza, Thursday, 21 May 2020 12:15 (six years ago)

It's fan fiction, surely. Incredibly ill advised, unaccountably published fan fiction about a real person.

should this book have been called “Nuvvieworld” y/n
