Martin Amis is not hipsterish in the U.S. I think he's considered just a good, solid, literary man here, and read by as many middle-aged women as young males.

Hipster books!

i go to ilx for interesting opinions on many things but 'defining hipster books' is probably not one of them
― thomp, Saturday, 27 August 2011 21:56 (twelve years ago) link
considering the # of posters that never post abt novels except on dfw threads i think ilx probably has a good grasp of what 'the hipster novel' represents

that would be 'the hipster novel' in the singular, then

i mostly stop reading after world war 2 except for patches here and there, and by the 1980s i've halted completely (except for dfw, yes). i dunno how H that is. most people i know (who read) seem to start around catch-22.

'catch-22' just seems like one of those 'everyone likes this' books; im sure hipsters are part of the venn diagram tho

yeah, exactly. it's not exactly a deep list, but it's got an appropriate affectation of darkness. kind of like tim burton.
