You don’t have to know anything about books in general.
If you haven’t read a book since you graduated high school, you’re good.
In fact you don’t even need to watch the video.

All I left out is the subject of the book.
What the hell did this lady write about!
What’s your guess?

A defense of child trafficking?
The misunderstood stigma of pedophilia?
The joys of chattel slavery?

Okay…so it’s set in Russia.
In that case, it must be, what an ode to Russian Imperialism?
That is exactly who controls more and more of what we see, read, hear, listen to.

Truly they have come to save us.
For literature this was the Union of Soviet Writers, open to all loyal Soviet writers.
How to know if you are loyal and in good standing?

This is relatively easy.
If so, you are not.
Bright side, you didnt have to starve to death like 5.5-8.7 million others.)

Now, youre alive, youre loyal youre in business.
Time to decide what it is you want to write.
This is a good starting point, but its only that, a starting point a recommendation.

Don’t be embarrassed if you aren’t familiar, we just completely made this up.
A lot of people get confused with this because that’s not what “realism” means at all.
Or “art” for that matter.

But you’ll get the hang of it.
That’s it, on the rules front.
Don’t be intimidated.

What does success look like?
Who doesn’t like constructive criticism from their friends?
Youll cooperate, wont you?

Of course you are.
Who would be anti-Utopia?
I should mention, just for the sake of completeness, not because it would ever be a problem.

In fact it is their duty.
Youll have the right opinions.
Soviet literature in the mid-20th century.

I know I do.
