I want to get a qt girl a present for Christmas who's super into DFW and getting into New Sincerity. I'm pretty sure she has every DFW book, so my plan of getting her a book by DFW is out.
I'm thinking instead of getting her a book apart of the New Sincerity movement. She said that once she wanted to write a great New Sincerity novel from a female perspective, so maybe I was thinking of getting her "selected unpublished blog posts of a mexican panda express employee" by Megan Boyle. But I feel like there are better New Sincerity books by female authors out there. Does /lit/ have any suggestions on that front?
If not, then maybe I was thinking of getting a book by Jonathan Frazen or maybe Tao Lin. What are some good New Sincerity books that aren't by DFW?
thanks senpaitachi (family)

The author you're looking for is Zadie Smith.

New Sincerity is bullshit made up by ironic hipsters who can't feel the difference between being deadpan in their irony and actually being sincere. They sicken me. It's all fake.
my that's a rare dfw

His lips look so luscious there
dfw isn´t new sincerity
thanks.
Get her some of Bloom's critiques.
Once she stops with the nonsense that is DFW you should pick her up some DeLillo
give her a torn piece of paper with the /lit/ URL scribbled on it

He's spooked beyond hope
Buying presents for anyone other than your mother, your girlfriend and your kids/grandkids if you have any is betamax.

What's wrong with buying presents for your dad ans siblings?

You should only get presents for siblings if it is your sister and you are banging her

I've never met a man who gives a shit about receiving presents. It's just something for women and children.

kill yourself.
If she hasn't read Valeria Luiselli, get her The Story of My Teeth. She'll be sucking your balls by New Year

My dad and I agreed not to get present for each other when I was 15, and it is awesome.
I tried with my mom, sister and gf, but no dice.
I haven't met many men over 20 that like getting gifts and I've never met a woman that doesn't like getting them.
