Look Mom I'm a Hegelian E-girl

Why is the Right so appealing to young women novelists? The protagonists of Anika Jade Levy’s Flat Earth and Madeline Cash’s Lost Lambs are enamored by incels and Info Wars, soldiers and QAnon. They also care about God, or at least they enjoy the spectacle of ritual and purity. These two books by the co-founders of Forever Mag offer an opportunity to consider the e-girl novelist whose reactionary Dimes Square world masquerades as princesses with personality disorders. Their attempt to outline the contours of modern womanhood often becomes its own trap. The Right and Left vie for erotic triumph with emoji-filled irony.
