Excuse me, sir, please don't cross this picket line, we're fighting for fair recognition for legitimate genre fiction. We have just grievances, and in solidarity, we respectfully request that you respect our strike.

Tove Jansson.

She made comic books too, so maybe she can be like some kind of a bridge for genre fiction stuff and non.

I've only read Agnes Grey but I already kind of like her a bit more than the other Bronte sisters even though it's objectively an inferior work to at least Jane Eyre (Wuthering Heights didn't work for me, though I might have to read it again).

I just like how in a lot of respects, she cuts out a lot of the bullshit and really exposes a part of society without using gothic elements as a bit of a crutch.

If Tenant of Wildfell Hall is what I think it is, I think I've found the angry, impossible love-child of Jane Austen (I've gone all the way with Janey-A) and George Eliot. Though obviously not as intellectual and talented as the latter or as ironic as the former.
