… The Top 10 Lines from Margaret Atwood's "Survival" . (Hat tip, Virginia Kerr.)
Well, Robertson Davies remains one of my all-time favorite writers. And there's Elizabeth Smart's By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept. And there's the poetry of Judith Fitzgerald.
Even as I appreciate the irony of saying this (given my new blogging enterprise -- Reading 19th American Literature), I throw it out there for whatever it might be worth: Given the expansion of internationalism (in economics, visual arts, music, etc.), perhaps the notion of national-identity literature is as obsolete as horses-and-buggies.
ReplyDeleteDammit Frank sometimes you scare me. I love Robertson Davies' books - The Deptford Trilogy was a wonderful reading experience!!
