What author did you read a book by and didn’t like, but gave them another chance and loved it?
I’m so glad I gave Edith Wharton another chance. I read Ethan Frome and thought it was fine. On a whim I picked up The Age of Innocence and fell in love. Now I’m buying anything I can by her. I recently read The House of Mirth, and can confirm she is one of my favorite authors now. Anybody have a similar experience with an author?
Read Absalom, Absalom!
If all the literature of our current civilization were lost except for a handful of books - possibly even one book- I’d be proud if this was one of them. It’s exceptional, beautiful, ugly, brutal, and incredible.
I will read it! That is quite the recommendation and I appreciate it!
