Authors to Know!
Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2021 11:47 am
Given the raging debate over certain authors and the blinding realization that we are flawed mortals who perhaps don’t know everything, present company excepted of course, I figured it’s time for some perhaps less well known author recommendations! Let’s use our energy productively to read more in case their names show up in a meta!
I’ll go first:
Friedrich Duerrenmatt - a swiss mystery writer whose protagonist is a retired policeman
Jen Risher - a new novelist who writes about tech affluence and its discontents
Jill Nelson - New York author and former journalist for Essence and The Washington Post who writes about social issues.
Studs Terkel - likely less well known to younger folks, but check out his book Hard Times about the Great Depression.
Gwendolyn Parker - Southern author who wrote about her experience at large law firms and American Express.
Ingrid Hughes - wrote about 1970s West Village and losing her son to schizophrenia
