From Lisa McInerney’s “Seize the Means of Publication”:

“The fewer published working-class authors who speak for their craft, the more compartmentalised by class the world of literature becomes, the more insular it becomes, the narrower its definitions. The fewer working-class writers we have, the greater the chance of middle-class leitmotifs defining literary themes. Fewer working-class writers try to get published. More books appear about mid-life crises, disillusionment with the self, ennui, ominously large houses, brooding affairs with pert protégées and literal voyages of discovery. And these plots and themes become interchangeable with literature, shorthand for human experience.”
