GuiltyFeat | Book Review: Beautiful World, Where Are You by Sally Rooney @GuiltyFeat | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
I try to capture my thoughts on this much anticipated release and also talk about it hitting the news this week for reasons that have nothing to do with literary merit.
Here's my question though: Is Sally Rooney a romance writer? No judgement, I just don't read enough romance to recognize the tropes. I get that in many ways everyone owes everything to Jane Austen, but Rooney seems to have strayed away from a purely literary vein and tapped into something about relationships and people's relationships to their relationships. I found it exhausting.
Not sure if I even came close to capturing my experience reading this novel and I certainly went on about it for way too long. Let me know whether you like these kinds of single-issue videos or whether I'd do better to always cover a range of books and keep it eclectic. Cheers.
