This is a confession of sorts, if contemporary means best-selling or award-winning authors say in the last 10-20 years. I don’t honestly know. Not having spent my youth, academic and professional lives reading literature, I’m behind one could say. Not that I care.
Q) Why then not start with contemporary authors? A) But there’s so much excellent literature from the past. A) And what’s written now just isn’t my thing.
The truth is I use our fabulous library system and I don’t like waiting in line. If it’s good now, it'll be better later. The other truth is I am a bit partial to ripened works, you know, the test of time.
