Default Re: Your greatest literary discovery of 09

First,the years is not over yet and i still wish to do make a major discovery.
Like Yourcenar last year.

Still some good ones ,starting with Richard Yates and His Revolutionary road and lot's of American writes like Larry Brown, Jim Harrison ,Joan Didion.
The Durrell brothers but specialy Lawrence.
Bruce Chatwin was an excellent re-read and i must remember to get more of his book.
Penelop Fitzgerald and her Blue flower thanks to Beth.
Arto Paasilinna and The year of the hare was a good time and i will read more ,even if some say that it gets repetitive after a while.
Per Petterson-Out stealing Horses was great but In Siberia didn't conviced me.So i jeep is best in mind and try to forget the other.
