@SimplyLogicalDiscipline For poetry, I have a long love of [b]Gary Snyder[/b]. Mountains and Rivers Without End is amazing. Also [b]Sharon Olds[/b]. I like how visceral she is. Right into her bowels and pelvis. [b]Mahmoud Darwish[/b] is probably the greatest political poet. His eros is amazing too. [b]Forough Farrokhzad[/b]-- talk about light, hope, juice.
Have a long love of [b]Samuel Beckett[/b]. Boom. For the novel I am fond of [b]Milan Kundera[/b], though probably my favorite novel is by his contemporary [b]Ivan Klima[/b], The Ultimate Intimacy.
I just love [b]Umberto Eco[/b]'s Foucault's Pendulum. Any and all [b]Italo Calvino[/b]. Any and all [b]Gabriel García Márquez[/b].
Too many American novelists to list. At the top: [b]Kurt Vonnegut[/b], [b]Don DeLillo[/b], and [b]John Irving[/b].
I'm in the South, so my favorites there-- [b]Tennessee Williams[/b], [b]Faulkner[/b], [b]Flannery O'Connor[/b].
