wait a second, are carson mccullers and flannery o'connor different people

huh, didn't realize. heard of both, haven't read either. but... both american, died young-ish, look pretty much the same. similar sounding names.

what's the difference?

>>18676976
i hope you're joking. look up what canetti said about her

>>18677158

I can't say the same for O'connor: >>18676660

>>18677158
O'Connor is very catholic and she tends to preach. Carson is more balanced, religion often plays a role but things do not boil down to heaven or hell, much more nuanced. Generally speaking, people do not enjoy O'Connor much if they are also very catholic.

Either a tranny or a seething conservative. Kys.

>>18675945
She sucks. Kys.

>>18676848
Good.

>>18676973
Bait.

>>18676976
Eh.

>>18677158
O'Connor is very catholic and she tends to preach and her religion is a major part of her work, they are difficult to separate. Carson is more balanced, religion often plays a role but things do not boil down to heaven or hell, more nuanced.

—Obra Completa de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz

Start with one of her two books of essays imo : Gli imperdonabili or Sotto falso nome.
Idk if they've been published in English anywhere tho.

>>18675814
I read a third of this and got bored of her writing style, it's to sober imo. Should I push on? Or is there some work of her that's better?
I wanted to read this because of the homosexual romance and it wasn't that exciting really.

Seems like there is very little of her translated. I only found an out of print poem collection and an independently published translation of various texts. I may just order it and see how it is. Thank you for the suggestion, I hadn't heard of her at all.

If you can’t read Italian there’s French.

She was a great author. She translated into Italian Katherine Mansfield, Virginia Woolf, John Donne and William Carlos Williams. Had a profound relationship with Elémire Zolla, historian of religion and occultist/traditionalist philosopher.

>>18677359
Thank you, didn't even try looking for French translations.

Her life was far more interesting than anything she ever wrote

I can. I wish she were my gf

As far as I'm concerned, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the only book in history that is written by a female author AND is not read solely based on the fact it was written by a female author. Sylvia Plath, Flannery O'Connor, ect ect are all featured in "female authors you should read" list but never in "books you should read" lists, unlike Frankenstein, which appears in both. Mary Shelley is truly /ourgirl/.

>>18675771
She looks exactly like this girl I have a crush on.

I would rank Eliot and Woolf among the greatest British novelists, and Austen might even be top 3.

Not a big fan of postwar female writers.

>>18678833
You should probably read more. Try Carson.

>>18675906
Fran Lebowitz?

A.S Byatt. Her novel "Possession: A Romance" is still one of the greatest novels I have ever read. If any of you have a love for Victorian literature, especially Victorian poetry, you should read this novel.

>>18675771
Mary Anne Atwood. If you're anywhere studied on Hermeticism and the like she has been one of the best authors on it past 1599.

>Wanted, wanted: Dolores Haze
>Her dream-gray gaze never flinches.
>Ninety pounds is all she weighs

Women writers are like men writers. Only worth reading if devout Catholics.

Rand should be read, even though I'm not a huge fan of her. She still has works worth reading.

Simone Weil

I don't know. I just like screaming like this. It soothes me and calms me a bit. It is a shame that Jacquelyn could not just be nice so then I wouldn't have to scream at her but that is her problem not mine.
