Winesburg, Ohio
Sherwood AndersonAnton Hur@MarinaSofia8 My *controversial opinion* of him that I’ve held since middle school is that he’s massively overrated because of his public image. If people wanted to study his style, they should just read Sherwood Anderson’s Winesburg, Ohio.

Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing
Margaret AtwoodAnton Hur@John_Attridge NEGOTIATING WITH THE DEAD by Margaret Atwood (Empson lectures) and ON HISTORIES AND STORIES by AS Byatt (Richard Ellmann lectures). Both by writers, not academics, so your hypothesis still stands, but with an interesting twist: maybe the lecture as book is going beyond academia.

No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay
Julian AguonAnton Hur@julian_aguon Hi! You probably don't know me, but we share a publisher, and they gave me a copy of your book. It's a gem. I had no idea such informative essays could be so beautifully written, "a lyric essay" is an understatement. Congratulations! https://t.co/evKMkL4pYk

Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination
Toni MorrisonAnton Hur@ToTheHappyNone PLAYING IN THE DARK by Toni Morrison—especially because I was skeptical about it at first but its ideas keep coming back to me. IN THE WAKE by Christina Sharpe has a lot of big fans, which includes me!

Woodcutters
Thomas BernhardAnton HurFor #WITmonth: CHINATOWN Thuáºn X Nguyá»…n An Lý A favorite European subgenre of mine is books that take place entirely in a character’s head within a moment (like WOODCUTTERS by Book Twitter fav Thomas Bernhard). An epic narrative stripped down to a single, shining voice. https://t.co/ukxLeuE0Bm
