Let's try something different! I want you to think of your one of your favourite writers. Now say something about them that you particularly dislike, or are at odds with, or admit isn't the writer's most outstanding feature.
It's only fair that I cast the first stone. Beckett's my favourite writer. His early work (More Pricks than Kicks, Murphy and Watt), although I do like Murphy and love Watt, strikes me as being very pedantic at times (and pedantic throughout in the case of Kicks).
You can also do it the other way around: pick a writer whose whimsical combinations of words make you positively shudder and say something nice about them.
Me, I remember having hated Elizabeth Bowen's The Heat of the Day with a passion, but I do think the book's underlying allegory provides plenty of food for thought.
Your turn now!
