/lit/ - Literature

We've started a group for joint writing goals, write-ins, book discussions, and critique. The motives are increased productivity, encouragement, and to get to know a small group of people more intimately. It'd be similar to NaNoWriMo, except that we can set our own goals all throughout the year, and with a community oriented towards more highly-acclaimed literature.

Now, we're partly a book club, but we're less demanding than the one that pops up here now and then. Our current read is Everything That Rises Must Converge by Flannery O'Connor, but we won't be discussing it until in a couple of weeks.

Is anyone interested in joining? If so: we communicate through IRC, namely #4clovers @ irc.rizon.net. We also have a mailing list. If you aren't using an IRC client yet, just visit this page: http://qchat.rizon.net/?channels=4clovers&uio=MTY9bnVsbAe6 .

I named my cat after O'Connor.

I usually call her Flann or even Flann-Flann.

Does /lit/ like flannery o'connor? Just picked up her complete stories collection.

You know, about like the characters themselves

>I'm gay.

Can anyone name a good female author other than Flannery O'Connor?

Not trolling, not trying to be a dick. I have just seriously never read another female author that I enjoyed at all. All of their novels are just stupid and self-important.

>reads some of her stories for the first time today

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

How about some southern gothic or S.G. inspired fiction?

pi c related: Flannery O'Connor, author of Wise Blood and A Good Man is Hard to Find

also, Joyce Carol Oates, "Where are you going, Where have you been?" FTW

Sup /lit/

I need some good short story collections

But no O'Connor, Jackson, Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Salinger, Murakami, Oates, Ozick, South Americans, or Russians because I've already either read everything or at least all of the good ones

Pic related, it's a real badass woman. Maya Angelou sucks shit.

Flannery O'Connor, bar none. She's incredible. I would kill to be able to write endings like she did.
