clue: try to be too clever when you're not that clever... and people simply won't want to read it

I dunno, let me text my mate Martin Amis and ask him how much he's worth.
And it says a lot about you that you assess the value of literature only with reference to commercial transactions.

How crass.

How many times has Jilly Cooper won the Booker prize?

you don't produce anything like that
you're all high end pretension - all fart and no poo.

sure, if I could choose, i'd love to write booker contending stuff, but that's simply not my style. I can write light, funny, slightly sad/cutting things in a certain style that got me a distinction in my main pieces from oxford and 5 agents handing me their cards because it was not as clever or beautiful as the girl who wrote a poetic novel - but they knew they could sell mine, whereas nobody would read hers. if I ever manage to get the time to write anything publishable, it won't be great literature, it will be froth. but it will make people laugh, and it will pay the rent. i'd be very happy with that.

Yeah, like you know Martin Amis.
Martin's the newsagent is a bit posh for you.
