Virginia Woolf

>>10012972
You're right.
Woolf is also gonna get you pussy. If a qt asks what you're reading, it's always her. Don't say shit like Nabakov, Pynchon or other memesters. She won't recognize them.

George Eliot, Sarah Kane, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Murasaki Shikibu

Ivana Brlić Mažuranić
She has been compared to Tolkien and Andersen, and her "Tales of Long Ago" are often passed off as actual folk mythology, rather than her invention.

>literally who
Finding and reading the "literally who" writers is literally the point of recommendation threads.

Ingeborg Bachmann is a fantastic Austrian author. Shame she killed herself.

Seconding Gilead. Beautiful book.

Toni Morrison is actually quite good, I'm not sure why she's such a meme on here.

>>10012972
Clarice Lispector
Rosario Castellanos
Elena Garro
María Zambrano

>>10015289
Maybe it's because she's black and a woman and this is largely a racist and misogynistic website

>trying to be an edgelord when someone just namedropped Kane
you're consenting to things you don't want to happen to you

/lit/ used to actually read

>>10015289
I haven't noticed she's a meme here.

I read Jazz and Sula, both a long time ago, and I remember nothing of either.

I have Tar Baby in a book pile so I guess I'll get reacquainted with Morrison soon.

Flannery O'Connor desu

>>10013265
Sor Juana is really good though she's from the 1600's, and was pretty much Woolf before Woolf. She even had her own 'Room of One's Own' type essay

Sappho, Anne Carson, Silvia Ocampo

Get the Tiina Nunnally translation of Kristin Lavransdatter if you can, it's lovely.

If Jane Austen was American she would be the greatest American novelist.

All this love for Kane. Is there anyone in here that has read her that doesn't love her?

>>10016795

i don't see how anyone couldn't love her after reading Cleansed. Second greatest play of the 1990's (first goes to AiA)
