Ah, subtweeting. The only good thing about Twitter but also probably the worst thing about Twitter: short, veiled messages — never containing an @ sign, of course — intended for an audience of one but disseminated to thousands or hundreds or perhaps tens. In my many years of using Twitter, I’ve noted a few overarching formulas for subtweets. There’s the Blunt Force, where you simply state your grievance, but don’t tag the person in mind.
The tweet is devastating. It asks — nay, begs — us to participate. Who wrote the book she’s referring to? What is the book about? Has Montag written a book? This single tweet is exemplary because of its inaccessible specificity and blatant honesty. It opens its arms and envelopes us in universal pettiness. While it should be read in a catty, passive-aggressive, sarcastic tone, there’s an underlying honesty to it, too. Personally, I have never written a book — and find even the prospect of ginning up a book proposal daunting. Would I write a book? Sure. Have my friends written books? Indeed.
