Lionel Shriver talks to Freddie Sayer’s at Unherd about Ezra Miller (Miller played the eponymous Kevin in the film adaptation of Shriver’s book ‘We Need To Talk About Kevin’ back in 2011).

Shriver’s palpable annoyance at serious publications sacrificing proper grammar by pandering to Miller’s demands for they/them pronouns and rendering their own articles nonsensical is my favourite bit (and Freddie’s reading of the long list of Miller’s alleged crimes is proper eye popping).

*Sayers.
Sorry Freddie.
I blame autocorrect.

(as I’m forced to make another comment due to that errant apostrophe, here’s a time stamped link for the bit about pronouns:

Oh wow, I did not know my soul needed this. I never thought about the connection between those two before.

I hope her next novel is about a violent, unstable “non binary” film star. I’d definitely read it
even though WNTTAK was the only book of hers I’ve liked. There’s a mean streak in her writing that suited the subject matter of Kevin and would deal with Ezra just as brilliantly.
