I was born in 1975, almost a decade after she died, so I think I can be classified as one of the new generation readers! My favourite though, is Clock without Hands. I would recommend her books to every teenager willing to read it. That teacher you told us about obviously had issues of her own. Thanks again, Sharon.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179411357520869019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-53456027260938236682008-03-14T13:45:00.000+08:002008-03-14T13:45:00.000+08:00i'm so glad someone at last responded to the post ...i'm so glad someone at last responded to the post to say they love her too.<BR/><BR/>i think she fell out of fashion (as writers tend to do) but now penguin classics are reissuing at least a couple of her books so hopefully a new generation will encounter her work. i think it's time to read her again ...<BR/><BR/>and i think you're absolutely right in what you say about writers like this giving courage to our own authors ...bibliobibulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456636355933524132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912730.post-42594581781075218102008-03-14T13:41:00.000+08:002008-03-14T13:41:00.000+08:00McCullers is among my favourite writers and it's a...McCullers is among my favourite writers and it's a pity so few Malaysians know about her. The clock stops when I read her. It doesn't matter that some of her most magnificent work date back to the 40s - the emotional struggles faced by her characters are as real and relevant to us today as they were during her time. The bravest thing she did was to write about the American South as how she lived it. That surely, can give us all a tip or two about writing about the "here and now". Thanks so much for posting on her!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179411357520869019noreply@blogger.com
