Re: John Sutherland's Lives of Novelists includes Jordan, but not Tolkien dacole Send a noteboard - 08/12/2011 02:19:14 AM
My days of being shocked by news on literature are apparently not over.

Thoughts?


I can understand not wanting to include it because it has been done to death before but if the book was supposed to be a collection of "important" authors lives...as I expect it was. Then this is beyond stupid. But as I watch western culture run down the drain I can't say that it surprises me all that much.

The article states that the novelists chosen were of personal interest to the author. *NM* Rebekah - 08/12/2011 09:01:09 AM 258 Views
