Why don't I ever see this book get mentioned in "lol-no-good-female-writers" debate threads?

>> No.2399634

As a regular participant in "lol-no-good-female-writers" debate threads, I can confirm that I've seen that book mentioned multiple times. Good book.

Are there any female authors that /lit/ can actually recommend?

Female writers are ranked by society (including women) according to their degree of feminism, not their writing ability. Same goes for artists.

Yes, pictured.

Most recently we had a really decent thread about women authors. McCullers is on my list of To-reads, and I posted her pic a couple of times in the past week. The reason you probably missed these threads can only be explained by the recent spam threads. Mostly DFW takeovers.

Thank you for the serious response, fellow /lit/izen.

Is Miranda July on there just because she is alive and pretty?

Also, I may just have missed her, but I can't find Patricia Highsmith. I'm glad Tsvetaeva got a mention, though, and it's a good list all round.

(I know you're not necessarily responsible for the chart.)

Seems to be missing Angela Carter and Jennifer Egan. Although it's not alphabetised, so I may just be missing them.
