Living Authors

Shakespeare and Austen and Plath etcetc. all get enough worshipping (deservedly and it should stay that way but - )

Which LIVING and writing authors do you love? Who excites you right now?

Here are two I love :

Ali Smith - I bought one of her short story collections out of curiousity about a year ago and it was the first time a short story made me properly cry. I like how playful she is with language and sometimes her novels frustrate me when I get to the end but I love the journey there.

Sean O'Reilly - I bought Watermark a couple of years ago and whenever I think about it takes me back into the trance I was in while reading it. I can't wait to read the rest of his work.

I'd also really like to hear about any emerging novelists or poets just being published now that any of you love already?

I like him too . I went to see him do a reading last year in Waterstones in Glasgow he seems lovely.
I bought his new book though and I never bothered finishing it. I don't know he doesn't make me excited any more. It all started when my boyfriend got the wrong cover we got the sausage.

Doris Lessing is just barely living I suppose, at 88 or 149 or something. But I still rate her, and she's still turning out fantastic books. A living treasure, a living fossil.
