Why does there seem to be very little overlap between people who like literature and people who are trying to be writers today? I am shocked by the number of young people I’ve met who have written full novels and have never read Dostoyevsky, Hemingway, Shakespeare, etc. Am I wrong? How do we fix this?
Now here’s a post you don’t see every day. And you know what? I’d have to agree! I just did not connect with Persuasion the way everyone told me I would/should. And I think this post hits on why. We never see the beginning of the relationship, so we don’t feel the tension as much!
It’s here! Enjoy and let me know your thoughts in the comments. 🥰
