Literature?

[jacobwilliam1]

If You were to write a letter to an author explaining your reaction to his or her book, play, or story, who would you pick? why? which work of literature? Is there anything you would ask them that was unanswered in the book? I plan to, but there are so many authors, who do you think?

Start with intriducing yourself

Really interesting question. I first thought you meant theoretically, as in: which author would you most like to talk to.

As to your question, there are honestly not a lot of living authors I'm that interested in. I appreciate the skill of Roth and Pynchem, but can't imagine they'd want to hear from me or really that what they'd have to say is all that meaningful to someone they don't know.

Honestly, I would probably write someone less famous whose work I appreciated and for whom I had a very specific question. I imagine people would see through a question contrived to authorize a coorospondence.

For me the author would probably be Mario Vargas Llosa. I don't really know why.

James Joyce. And it would be a letter bomb.
