Hey /lit/, just wondering are any of her books worth reading? And if so which ones are they? What's her writing style like? Is she a good writer?

>> No.13562865

It takes an hour to get 15-20% into one of them. Why not do that instead of posting this thread and spending the next hour watching 10 Craziest Times an Octopus Tried to Play Minecraft: Can a Nerf Dart Go Through a Cinderblock? videos on Youtube.

You are consistently the worst poster on this entire board.

Secret History is one of my favorite books, think of a cross between edgy Salinger and Socratic debates.
Sped through The Goldfinch earlier this year and didn't enjoy it as much. There are a couple pockets of really amazing sequences in there, but about 80% of the book is the rising and lead up to those moments.

So if you're looking to get into her I'd recommend starting with The Secret History; I've also heard good things about The Little Friend, but haven't been able to get a copy for myself.

If you enjoy The Secret History, yes. It wasn't bad, just a little tedious.

This wouldn’t eve be a s big a deal in my ideal world. Its this masculine competitive bullshit posturing that’s put both you and her where you are now.

I read an article of hers, and she’s got talent. Plenty of homely authors out there too. Lots of men too.
