What's the point of reading female authors?

Ethan Frome is one of the worst, most overrated classic novels I have ever read. I have no problems with female authors, but if that piece of shit is in any way representative I would never touch another work by her.

>>	Anonymous Fri Feb 5 08:23:08 2021 No.17464162 >>17464149 Gotcha. Any of the authors I listed that you want recs for in return? I've seen people change their minds about female authors when they read Iris Murdoch, and Anna Kavan is well known for good reasons.

Either Jacob's Room or To the Lighthouse.
>what’s the deal with kawakami
She's one of the queens of comfy literature, if you are drawn to comfy literature like Charlotte Brontë or Hermann Hesse I'd wager you'll enjoy her work. Her work is very different to the work of those two for sure, as it has a very modern feel to it, but it's similarly comfy. I would start off with The Nakano Thrift Shop for her.
