@craner you asked in another thread,
I have not met Honor, tho have mutual acquaintances.
I'm pretty periphery to these scenes, I show up at occasional parties and read occasional writing but I've never invested the energy to get past that
Is she the VOG? Probably not. I liked her story "Pillow Talk" years ago. I think she'll probably nudge literary prose toward internetspeak which I think is good, it's quickly becoming the richest pool of cosmopolitan slang the world has seen, I don't see why it isn't or can't be a part of a poetic language. I think she's bright and has her head screwed on straighter than a lot of people in her scene. I think she has talent.
I also think she invests her time and talent into things that don't so clearly generate a Great Work. Even this book is a bit of a joke. She makes avant garde TikToks, treats her Twitter a bit like art, podcasts, hosts events like the recent 72hr (or w/e) nonstop Gertrude Stein reading at Earth. If she ends up being really important in the long term it won't be for writing a Gen Z Infinite Gest, it'll be for all the little scene building sensibility refining memetic work that Pound did early in his career. Albeit not as scholarly, not with the same gravity and ardor.
