| | catch | Nov 22, 2005 10:31am | I love Six of One. Fits all the criteria too.
I'm too anal retentive to go off on all brilliant female writers.
- female, could be male if the rest works
- fiction
- intelligent
- wicked sense of humor
- bit morbid
- maybe surreal
- not self-centered-suffering/love stories
- like Chuck Palahnuick
- like Nicola Barker
OK for my part, I'm lost on several of the criteria.
- wicked evil or wicked intense funny?
- what works do you like from Barker and Palahnuick, as I don't know them
p.s. I don't get Margaret Atwood. Not a slam. I don't get lots of stuff.
p.p.s. would Anne Rice work? |
