There is a whole loathsome, solipsistic genre like this. E.g. novels about wealthy privileged young authors living in Brooklyn struggling to find meaning in their lives, written by---you guessed it---wealthy privileged young authors living in Brooklyn struggling to find meaning in their lives.
The Paris Review is just one of many participants in the proverbial plays-about-playwrights game.
- qwrusz 10y agoWhat's so loathsome about it? I can believe there are wealthy privileged young authors living in Brooklyn struggling to find meaning in their lives. What's the problem?

E.g. novels about wealthy privileged young authors living in Brooklyn struggling to find meaning in their lives, written by---you guessed it---wealthy privileged young authors living in Brooklyn struggling to find meaning in their lives. Sounds like "The Great Gatsby". Or art in general: isn't the author supposed to write for what they know and from the point they stand, even if they are "wealthy, privileged and young"?
