Let’s All Love Molly Young
In fact, some of us already do. I know I have linked/mentioned her before, but it feels like this is the right time to make things official, and so I invite everyone to join me in declaring our Official Love of Molly Young. But just what is it that we love? Well…
Here she is at the Poetry Foundation (thanks for the link, Travis), writing on Frederick Seidel.
Like that of Miller and Bukowski, Seidel’s style is one of incriminating self-exposure coupled with an exacting (and therefore imitable) aesthetic. But here’s a funny thing. Writing a poem about lust, pride, imprudence—about ordering a call girl or staying at “literally the most expensive hotel in the world” or racing a bike at 200 mph—has a way of neutralizing the unpleasantness of that vice. To write a good poem about an ugly thing, as Seidel does often, is not to write an ugly poem.
And on Richard Holmes’s The Age of Wonder.
Romanticism as a cultural force, Holmes points out, is generally regarded as “hostile to science, its ideal of subjectivity eternally opposed to that of scientific objectivity.” Yet both pursuits followed the same imaginative principles and notions of wonder that fueled their advancements, and it is Holmes’s contention that a Romantic science exists in the same sense as a Romantic poetry, and both flourished during what he calls the Age of Wonder.
You can also find her all over This Recording, and n+1 (including “Kickstart my Heart,” the adderall in the Ivys piece, and a more recent double-review of Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds and a Hefner biography) and she tumbles! And she collaborates on art books. The new one is called TROUBLESHOOTING . It also says she blogs for Urban Outfitters, but I didn’t actually click that one. Instead I clicked on “Rules on Writing” at More Intelligent Life. And now I know the rule: which is there is no rule, which is just what I’d always hoped. Molly!

Molly Young Week is next week, Justin.
Molly Young Week is next week, Justin.
This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that she is a young, very hot, very carnally in-demand girl who’s constantly at NY hipster lit crowd parties (n+1, etc), would it? Which by coincidence just happens to be your exact scene? Stop stalking her tumblr and just say you want to fuck Molly Young, Justin. Justin Taylor really, really wants to fuck Molly Young. There, was that so hard?

More Molly Young please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, bud, you either read the articles I linked to or you didn’t. And if you did, you either already know that Young is a writer of no small ability and promise, or else you’re too stupid to read. One way or the other, this seems like a dead issue, so let’s not waste too much more of one another’s time, shall we?
But I do want to say one more thing: the next time you want to take a shot at me, just take it. There’s no need to try and reduce a self-evidently talented writer such as Young to a would-be sexual conquest of mine, when the real point is to attack my credibility rather than hers. Save that kind of misogynist shit for 4chan, okay?
Thanks for playing.

Chick is kinda hot though Justin, wicked smile. I don’t know her from Eve, just saying about a picture of a girl. I know it is misogyny to say. Good thoughts on Romanticism and Frederick Seidel, who nobody gets right, but she seems to.

Molly Young is an extremely talented writer. My question is whether you would have acknowledged that with a whole post devoted to loving her if she were fat and ugly. I think not. (Same with, say, CE Morgan, another hot young female writer whose pants you would love to get into and to whom you devoted a fawning post.). A would-be sexual conquest of yours? You wish that were even a possibility. You’d go to great lengths to fuck these women if you thought you had even the most remote shot.
He’s going to come out with an argument similar to the “I have black friends, too” argument. Wasn’t it him who lauded Heather Christle awhile back? Also hot. And then there was that other girly. Ah well, I’ll be honest if no one else will: I’d show this girl a good time and probably just avoid the topic of her writing if I didn’t happen to know it. But everyone knows I’m one of those weirdos.

Wow, guys. Just, wow. I am absolutely not having this argument with any of you. It’s beneath my dignity, and would be beneath yours if you had any. Way to suck all the fun out of endorsing a rad writer.

how about a moratorium on this “Let’s All Love…” nonsense, huh? the whole “feigned happy-go-lucky populism” shtick is obnoxious, justin

there are always new dudes waiting to fart on their hands in public, begging for the sniff.
i, for one, was new to molly, and am enjoying the finding. so thanks Justin.

indeed, let’s not love anything about writing. let’s just spend time criticizing everything and saying nothing impresses/moves/gets us.

justin’s only fault here is not admitting his natural interest in women he finds attractive. probably out of fear of reprisal..
(his chick does read)
obviously that girl is attractive. i am blind and i can figure that out.
i do find her attire ugly & patent in that pic. to be honest, this girl looks like every girl i see around hollywood.
but your latent insecurity isn’t very hidden at all.
you seem to be upset about your exclusion from a certain scene.
if you disdain the ‘scene’, what does it matter if justin writes about some stupid scene chick?
it has no bearing on your life.
you aren’t part of the scene.

yeah if it was you instead of justin that pic would have been black and white and posted with the bolded words MISSING underneath it.

Reprisals? I don’t get Jereme’s comment above. Is Justin Taylor dating another HTML giant writer? Do HTML giant writers date each other? That gives another layer of interest to this post. This scene is exclusive and mysterious. Or maybe not…

Molly is way out of your league JT.
Neither of you are very interesting, tho. IMO
Yeah dude, haters gonna hate. I’d not heard of Molly until this, and I’m digging these reads. Good words, man. Appreciate the post.

I think promoting writers is part of HTML, no? It seems to be a consistent aspect of what this forum is about. Everyone who posts and comments here promotes authors at some time.
I don’t know Justin (never met him) and don’t know his writing (I did order his book, but have not read it yet and I order a ton of books), but WTF on this jumping his train?
He posts about authors he’s into all the time here, of all genders and sizes and whatnot. Hell, he posts about all types of things.
His previous post to this one was about Paula Fox, Bob Dylan. Michael Schaub, Eric Hazan, and some fucked up archive on the Baptist faith.
Before that, his recent posts have been about some religious dude named Justin Taylor. He’s been on this topic a lot lately.
His last “love” post was focused on Jimmy Chen, Harold Bloom, Amy McDaniel, and Jeremy Schmall.
I’m clueless on the venom, but I don’t see it. This attack seems a leap to me.
Maybe you just don’t like him?
That’s fine, but why not just comment like this: “I don’t like Justin Taylor.”
The misogynistic/allure/lure/whatever silly thing attacks drink like green tea and smoke like Salvia. Weak. I would need a track record, evidence, something a bit more brick.

I guess she’s safe from you, huh? A little too post-pubescent for your taste?

I have no argument, but I’m confused, I can’t say I find a picture sexy? Since when can’t writing be all about grace and pleasure? It seems that a woman can write AND be sexy. Stunner. I think the point is we’re allowed to “love” Molly Young. Justin too, if he wants. Cool how that works right? Fart on yr hands in public? Who does that in private? These guys? Gross.
Jereme Dean remains the judge and jury on the entire world.

Just because her grandmother calls her “young woman” when she’s pissed doesn’t qualify a teenage girl as a “woman,” Dean, so I’m going to run five miles and say you’ve not got a fucking leg to stand on.

slightly, but, as any one can see, my girlfriend smiles all the time and is safe.
i don’t think the same can be said for anyone you have shown your intimate self to.
at least you are finally admitting you are a perv, instead of your bullshit “what me?” posturing.
it is always nice to know i am right about people.
paul, i know you are a little slow, so i will S-P-E-L-L it out for you.
i have always been right about your character.
you are a nefarious douche.

As a youngish female writer trying to get people to not give a shit about my gender and to just read my stuff, I certain find this thread not-at-all-encouraging. Jesus.
For the record, I didn’t know Molly’s stuff before this, am happy to have the introduction, and hope to Christ she hasn’t seen this thread.

You’re definitely right: it’s not out of the ordinary. I guess it was, in the end, lame of that guy to bring the whole you-want-to-smash thing into the equation, but I’m not sure that necessarily guts the validity. Ask Taylor to post links to his last 50 Giant posts and find a pattern, maybe. In the end, I wish him the best. I have no reason to dislike him. I just had the same feeling ever since the Christle post and I guess this was a good opportunity to out it. What’s not being said here is that the same people who are pointing fingers are feeling the same way as they’re accusing Justin of feeling. I’d say the only way to solve this riddle is for Taylor to call the girl and ask her out and prove he’s not afraid to do that. I mean, fuck it: people are going to cry “in-crowd” no matter what he does, so he might as well have a good time out of it. Surely he’s not that bad of a guy, she could spare a Saturday night for him sometime. I think what irks the original accuser is that Taylor made no effort like this. And if he’s a single dude within 50 miles of her and he claims he doesn’t want to take her out or something, then he’s fucking lying.

Dayum.
your misogyny is laughable.
i think you need to work on your relationship with your mother bud.
i bet she didn’t love you correctly.
poor little white kid. no love.
so much aggression.
try not to kill any kids in the iraq paul. shouldn’t be too hard from behind that desk, or i mean tank.

I think my problem all along is that I actually listen to the things you say. What did I really admit here? That I’d want to get with this chick? Around these parts that probably does make me a weirdo, and I was illustrating disdain by labeling myself a weirdo.
In five minutes I could prove you to be double-talking and backtracking when it comes to the word “perv” and what not.
I think if you went dumpster-diving you’d find at least a few good remarks about me as a person to be in a relationship with. I don’t think I’ve ever dated anyone with a blog. And probably won’t.

Yes, Dean, you’re always right. And changing the subject often enough keeps you distracted enough to never look in the mirror and see exactly what you’ve become in your 30 years. Punk.

I always thought Justin Taylor was like an asexual sea anemone with a laptop, web connection, and literary networking skills far exceeding his talent.
(As everyone knows, hyping Harold Bloom on NYT.com has ALWAYS been the mating call of the sea anemone.)
surely there’s an army blog somewhere where you can talk about what or who you or other dudes want to bang. it’s just not that interesting in this context. try putting your anger into getting something worthwhile done, instead of whining.

If good looks were a prerequisite for liking someone’s writing, not a lot of writers would get read. Absurd absurd responses to an interesting post; I like learning about new to me writers.

IT’S LIKE “WHO CARES ABOUT FINDING NEW POETS AND SHIT MAN THAT’S NOT WHY I READ HTMLGIANT.COM IT’S SO I CAN INGRATIATE MYSELF ONE DAY AND MAYBE THEY’LL LIKE ME, I AM ENVIOUS EDDY!!!”

OK WOW BUDDY I BET YOU DO, BUT YOU POSTED IN A PUBLIC FORUM “EXCUSE ME FOR BUTTING IN”
STILL WEIRD, IT’S A WEIRD THING TO SAY, I DON’T CARE WHO YOU KNOW. “THE BEST LOOKING WRITER I KNOW” KIND OF IMPLIES THAT BEING GOOD LOOKING AND A WOMAN MAKES YOU INTO AN OTHER, I GUESS IT DOES, BUT YOU’RE ALSO PARTICIPATING IN THAT. I DON’T KNOW MAN, CAN’T YOU SEE THAT? I GUESS IT DOES BUT DAMN MAN, YOU REALLY HURT MY FEELINGS

Listen up. Everything is true. Molly Young is beautiful AND she’s a good writer. Justin Taylor is just trying to spotlight someone he admires AND he’s using his chits to score a rimjob. The people who contribute for HTMLGIANT have good taste, a lot to say about language and lit, AND they use this forum to unnecessarily pimp and advertise their friends ad nauseum. Justin Taylor is a smart kid with a promising career AND he has certain personality traits that could lead one to conclude that he has a stunted emotional core, always exploding into infantile rages and obsessive vendettas against people who have slighted him. It’s all true. You know what else is true? Molly Young is a dud between the sheets. You can just tell. Girls who look like that will not spread the bread and let you put mayo on both sides. That’s a fact.

Nice to hear you speak in your own voice for once, Sean. And if it wasn’t for us anon assholes the comments section of this site would resemble the world’s most hirsute circle jerk. At least us anon assholes try and bring this party up to a level the Viennese Actionists would enjoy.

paul,
so what are you getting at? i do not understand your passive aggression.
why don’t you explain your idea on people & blogs?
i would love to hear it!
heck in five minutes you can completely make me look stupid.
go ahead.
i’m here.
open your mouth and speak your mind.
please share your great ideas.
we are all curious?

Zip — I don’t think your argument makes a bit of sense, man. It’s like–of course we react to the way women look. That’s the purpose of good looks in the first fucking place. My point is that she is published and respected as a writer despite the fact that no one actually knows how good looking she happens to be. I guess you missed that in all the feeling bloodshed you suffered.
me thinks the best looking writer paul has seen was when paul was naked in front of a mirror mouthing the words “i’d fuck me”.

i’m a hermaphrodite, martin. plus i has teeth down there so don’t fence me in. i’m not upset, you’re just a dick looking for a fight, which makes you no different than an aggro drunk talking dirty to a girl on the bus, except it makes you a nerd as well.

I’d like to state for the record that Justin Taylor once watched me fuck Jeremy Schmall, while Amy McDaniel made a courtroom sketch of the whole affair. Fact.
This whole thing was way too boring to even consider responding too, but then I realized that I’m bored, I love responding, and I already love Molly: I employed her pen for freelance at the magazine I formerly edited; I’ve been a longtime reader of her published work and her tumblr; and I’m a big supporter of her prose and her gorgeousness, neither of which I would dare edit.
So let me say this: praising a writer for their writerliness is a storied, admirable, handsome venture for the ages. That’s no revelation to anybody here. Fuck, most of the readers here probably wish they could get some work writing book reviews for n+1. But putting the spotlight on a writer who’s both talented and attractive–be that person male, female, gay, straight, all of the above–is undeniably appealing, and something I feel doesn’t happen frequently enough. Granted, this is technically off topic, since Justin made no mention of Molly’s inherent beauty; her picture did that just fine for everyone. But why is this a big deal? Why’s everybody all up in shits about it? Plebs dole out millions to talentless hot bodies every year. (See: film, television, fashion, other mediums that require sight and humans.) That’s just the way the world works. What’s so wrong about appreciating the rarity of beauty and brains? It’s an uncommon enough phenomena that it deserves to be pointed out. In fact, fuck you Justin for not outwardly commenting on Molly’s hotness. And fuck you for not pulling out when I said the safety word. This is all just getting way out of hand.

I don’t see how anyone could ever get offended by your insults knowing that you look like Michael Cera’s bad-boy alter-ego in the movie “Youth in Revolt”.

Not saying I wouldn’t, just that the chances are slim. All the women I’ve ever really loved were either too shy or too busy with life to bother with something like a blog.
Most of the time I just like an easy fling. I try to minimize my guilt when I start thinking “I’d rather be sitting in front of my computer arguing with Jereme Dean right now” or something like that. To do that I have to be with people I really could care less about.
I am capable of love, though. I’ve got a thing in mind, I think, and I might just make it happen this year. I’m 100% sure she’ll never read this until I show it to her next year saying “This was about you.”

Zip: I’m pretty sure “weird’ Is the most subjective thing around, and so you’re not really obligated to articulate it, just know that I don’t perceive it that way, and even if everyone did and could articulate it in no uncertain times, I still wouldn’t. Probably there are better looking writers than her out there. I just don’t know them.

I was casting my glare on Molly Young. Guilty. I didn’t mean that Justin was up to some shit. My point was not to cast shade, and Justin’s riposte was plenty. But I think there is something worthy in Amber’s comment. And I mean this idiotically, not stupidly: Why does one have to write past gender, or to make it less recognizable, or to not be viewed? And what is gender anyhow? To imagine being voluptuous is a flighty game I like to play, imagining “hotness”. Its agonizing truth turns me on. And yes, Ms. Molly is subject. Lucky me.

yeah, i actually kind of agree with the anons here, at least on this general point. i keep thinking like back when htmlgiant started, these kinds of comments were golden, people bold enough to make some claims however crazy, to poke at some truths maybe, it all made this place alive to me. now everyone’s commenting like anyone thinks anything means anything. now all the contributers are the ones getting like actually very upset by this. this kind of unpredictability and clashing in the comments with creative people of different waywards makes me happily wayward along with it. anyhoots.

i haven’t let go of the conspiracy theory either, that lots of these anons are employed by htmlg, or that these sorts back-and-retorts in comments are fueled behind the scenes however sutbly. Like why does Justin title the post like this. Why put this in: “But just what is it that we love?” Its like he’s inviting everyone to consider things other than her writing. no?

Excellent. Seidel’s poems are good, but he is not a great writer. There are ways of saying that better, she finds them. Great writers write bad poems, too. And there is something to be said for writing that is neither cowardly nor callow. I suspect that Seidel’s formalism masks a certain amount of guilt too, but I might be wrong. Just my own dude intuition. I read that Paris review on Seidel. I thought he was trying pretty hard with the motor bikes and shit. Like, who gives a fuck? I like James Elroy a ton more.

Just read the articles. Was not particularly taken aback by them, and kind of wonder why they merit such gushing.
This comment thread is a shitbomb, though.

I like where you’re going with this, darby. Some of the posts here are great. And some of the contributors here take their lumps with class. I respect that.
There are other people on here, however, who can dish out jokes and criticisms, but cannot deal when the “script is flipped.” I don’t like the attitude that some things are sacred but others aren’t. To me, nothing is above reproach, and the huffing and puffing and posturing as if some kind of credibility is on the line is suspect.

I feel like you’re intentionally looking for things to criticize, and likely because you’re not intelligent enough to engage in the first place, but nonetheless: thing refers to relationship, in this instance, whereas she refers to the woman in question.

alexlouis, she’s clearly very attractive, but if you follow the links you’ll see that she’s also a very capable and interesting writer. Her articles seem much more intelligent than any other new stuff I’ve come across recently, and they’re noticeably devoid of the irritating posturing and snark common among the “hipster” crowds you mention. Don’t try to reduce her to the level of a Vice writer. She’s quite clearly operating in a different sphere.

Some of the reaction above seems like playa-hatin, probably caused by Justin’s favorable review in the Times (by another undertalented New York literary networker/writer/editor).
How many story collections come out each year without mention and how many interesting collections are not published at all? Yet Justin’s collection was published and reviewed despite seeming dull.
For example, “Tennessee” on 52stories.com.
When “it’s not WHAT you know but WHO you know” rings true, it pisses people off. It’s happened before. It will happen again.
BTW, comment boards make better reading when anonymous sharks are in the water.

It kind of bugged me that “Thank You For Smoking” was liked by my Republican friends, Jason Reitman. Why is there this quasi-conservative smoke drifting over your work. R U “just” keepin’ it real? Also, Jason Reitman, I think “Juno” was surprisingly moving, probably mostly due to Ellen Page. That’s all I had to say, and that I liked “Up in the Air,” but then the girl I went to see it with told me the female characters aren’t multi-dimensional or believable enough, even though I really thought you were trying and somewhat succeeding at making the female characters believable enough, but I don’t know, she’s a girl and I’m not, so what do I know? OK, the bit where Vera Farmiga has a husband and she’s just having an affair with George was a cop-out, I think, Jason Reitman. Because why can’t she just be a “lone shark” like George. Can’t women be lone sharks?

So, I know I shouldn’t say this, Jay-Z, but if you are married to Beyonce now (but it’s a secret kind of, but not really anymore, but you don’t talk about it whatever), and she is, as she says herself, not only “bootylicious” but also an “independent woman” who is doin’ it for “all my single ladies” and advises those men who have disrespected her to put “everything you own in a box to the left” ’cause it’s shippin’-out time, MAN—given that all these nuances and seeming contradictions and general rad unapologetic-girl-power-wrapped-in-a-truly-smokin’-smokin’-bod are all part of your woman, do yalls ever have a conversation about your lyrics? your past lyrics? is it just sort of like, you doin’ your thing, man, and you’re like, you’re doin’ your thing, B. Is it like that?
Yeah, it’s like that.

Aluminum Shark, my son, you seem tense and confusing. Do you need a hug? Seriously, do you need a hug? I am already hugging you. I was always hugging you. Bless you, Aluminum Sharkman.

Is this experimental literature? Love the cast of characters.
If I make a comment am I being meta?
Did I just make all of this up?
I don’t remember.
Because I’ve had dreams this weird and convoluted.

This is interesting. Is that really what’s happening here? Backlash against the person who “knows people?” All I know about Justin is that I’m almost always impressed w/ his HTMLG posts, and I love that he reads Bloom open-mindedly (Bloom is so easy to hate on). I will admit that Everything Here seemed kind of beneath him.

Sorry someguy, I was anticipating the response to I reponse I wrote and deleted about how some people might not be as impressed as ryan with justin’s posts. I’m sorry not to fun you, someguy. I am the tin man, made of coke cans, in the form of a shark. I have too big a heart. But I cannot sleep. I have drank to much of the former content of my skin. So I kill. I don’t want to kill. But I must because I can’t sleep until I am impressed. (Thanks for not snarking on the shark.)

I think my man Jason Reitman here and these other cats is just trying to approach, from a different, indirect, creative, perhaps funny angle, the issue of what does it mean to reduce Molly Young, who is a prolific and talented writer, but who also is way fuckin’ hot—to reduce her to merely the last part, a hot piece of ass. And more broadly, why are women always being reduced to sex objects in the culture. Where does sexuality start and where does work, writing, on its own, begin? Other questions include: Why is B so goddamn hot and just killin’ everybody with her tours, videos, and singles? Why didn’t Jason Reitman and that mysterious dude who wrote the first draft of the script, why didn’t they have the insight to see that Vera Farmiga’s character really didn’t need to have a husband? She could just be a lone shark, like George’s character, thus making them “equals” in terms of social identity, freedom, social-role-escaping bandits….etc. The implications of that have bearing on our larger questions. These are some of the questions. Not sure about answers. YOUNG!!

I STILL WANT THAT DEEP LOVE WHERE I WOULD NEVER DISS ON A RECORD, I WOULD NEVER SAY LIKE “YOU’RE JUST AN L.A. GIRL” LIKE JUST REDUCE A PERSON TO A CLICHE, LIKE I DID TO MY EX ON THAT SONG “ROBOCOP.” YALL HEARD THAT SONG? IT’S SOME OF MY FINEST WORK. I SLOWED DOWN THE TEMPO IN THE UM, IN THE FIFTEENTH MIX I DID OF IT, AND ADDED THESE LIKE MOVIE SCORE STRINGS AND SHIT, AND IT SOUNDED WAY BETTER THAT WAY. ANYWAYS I CALL MY EX WHO ALL THE SONGS IS ABOUT I CALL HER “JUST AN L.A. GIRL” AND MOCK HER FOR MAKING A JOKE, AS IF EVERYTHING SHE WAS SAYING WAS A JOKE, WHICH IS FUNNY TO ME BECAUSE USUALLY SHE DOESNT HAVE ANY SENSE OF HUMOR, BECAUSE SHE’S JUST AN L.A. GIRL WHO’S A ROBOCOP. YOU FEEL ME? SO BASICALLY, AND ON MY FIRST RECORD I HAD THIS SONG CALLED “WORKOUT PLAN” WHERE I MADE FUN OF VARIOUS HOODRAT CHICKS. AND THE LIST GOES ON. I’M A LITTLE ASHAMED, BECAUSE WOMEN GON’ GET THE WRONG IDEA WHEN ACTUALLY I LOVE ALL YALL WOMEN. YALL ARE THE REASON I HAVE POETRY IN ME, WOMEN ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE GIVEN ME POETRY. I LOVE YOU WOMEN. YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY PART.

Fuck it, you know what, it is what it is, but “Big Pimpin’,” a song like that, I mean, I wouldn’t want to say it in public, but that’s not really me, you know? That’s not my heart. That’s just me having fun, putting up a front. I hope yall danced to that and just had a good time, but those lyrics, while true, I mean I was big pimpin’, that state of mind is not me, ultimately. Peace yo.

Hey, so we were just, as a band, reading through this, and we didn’t want all these brave confessions to go by without hopping in. Because I mean, more than just rappers need to keep it real. We’ve been described as ivory tower indie rock, not for nothing. Maybe, Brooklyn choirboycore bands like ourselves should keep it real. So here goes nothing, you guys: We actually started the band to score with chicks. That was the whole idea. The fancy videos, the sensitive photographs, the tumbling, chilly forest of hooks and aural soapbaths (that’s our description, should we put it in the next press release?), anyway, we did it for chicks. Except for Ed. He’s into guys, as you know.

Brahh, you know… In the midst of things one often loses the path, but I have to say, in the final account, that it was wrong to stab my second wife Adele with that penknife back in 1960. Pretty phallic choice of weapons, too, hmm?
