      Who or what are those guardians and moderators, do you think ?https://twitter.com/LeeRourke/status/1257248179965300737 …

      Lee Rourke  🕳️ @LeeRourke
      Everything I feared about the working-class writer in publishing situation is beginning to happen: a burgeoning working-class writing ‘industry’ which only really serves to strengthen its guardians’ and moderators’ interests and careers.

      Replying to @KitdeWaal

      The work you’ve put in is phenomenal, far more than I could afford - but where is the diversity of working-class voice? It’s always the same type of work, the same story, the same form, that’s unearthed. I can’t see anyone else benefiting from this other than ...

      Is this in part due to a fixation on content (rather than form) on what or who qualifies? Slightly unrelated, I'm reading Henry Green who writes v well abt working class despite being, I imagine, far from it himself.

      Henry Green is the exception to most rules, though. A brilliant rich weirdo who never seemed to write "about" a class, but directly out of it. His Irish servants are as real (and as heartbreaking and as ridiculous) as his upper-middle-class London twits.

      Loving has the Irish servants. The thing with Green is that his father owned a factory but made Green work in it so he could understand it from the ground up.

          They aren’t Irish, they are British - that’s the entire point of the book!! They are avoiding the war in England by working in this Irish big house.

          There is at least one Irish servant in the mix, but you're right - the rest are transplants. btw: CONCLUDING is one of the most genuinely unnerving books I've ever read; DOTING one of the funniest.
