Do you think any current author is of the same caliber as Dickens, Austen, Bronte, or any of the classic authors? If so, who, and why do you think so? If not, why not? What books from this era might be read 100 years from now?
Actually, I do. There are several I can think of, actually. I'm assuming authors like Harper Lee and John Steinbeck are already considered "classic". The authors I'm thinking of are "classic" for their storytelling techniques, themes, plot and character development. In my humble opinion, these are:
- Mary McGarry Morris
Kevin Baker
Herman Wouk
Arthur C. Clarke
Margaret Atwood
Barbara Kinsolving
John Irving
Wally Lamb
I'm sure there's more but Survivor's on in 10 minutes and I've got to book! When I get back, it'll be interesting to see which other other bloggers suggested!
