literary discussion
Interesting thread at Seablogger on the many virtues (or not) of several writers (Proulx, Hardy, Austen, Dickens, Harte, Hemingway, Naipul, among them). It all started when Alan Sullivan cited VS Naipul's latest expression of disdain in a recent interview (he is prone to deliberately provoking the literati, after all). I certainly am startled to see HG Wells and Twain ranked highly in the same breath with disparagements of Hemingway and Austen. But that's what taste and opinion are all about, right? Anyway, enjoy the Naipul interview and the Seablogger thread . . . and if you'd like, add your own opinions here. It always interests me to find out which authors people like, and why.
