Brilliant writer. I read Sula and Beloved at University, loved them both.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Brilliant author. Not as familiar with her work as I should be but The Bluest Eye (my personal favourite), Beloved and Song of Solomon are all great.

RIP

RIP.

Have only read three of her books. Likes them all, not sure why I haven’t plunged in further.

Literally my favourite writer. Can we read one of her older books (that I haven't already read) for book club?

Certainly the best author that I can think of. Her books are extraordinary fables written with the most poetic and perfect prose, oxymoronic as that might sound.

What a monumental loss.

I would definitely have to make time for that! Which haven't you read?

I'd be down for one of her lesser-known works, e.g. Tar Baby, Jazz or Paradise. @Suedey what do you think?

Completely owning Jana Wendt (from about 1.45 in though the first minute or so is worth hearing).

The most POWERFUL sip of water EVER.

I'm 100% up for it, and happy to put her on for September and push Overstory back!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Shall we put her on for September ?

 

[jivafox]

Yes

 

[Beverley]

YES

 

[Mats]

well I'm glad you all agree

her voice... I want her to read to me every night

I think she read the audio books for all of her own books because she was so particular about how she wanted them to sound.
