My favorite author. He can build utopia, big or small, and then sweetly strip it away like torture. Great work for decades now. This man truly understands the human condition.

Love this man’s work, a truly marvelous writer. Not surprised he has such a simple and instinctive process, he can effectively wring out a whole spectrum of ideas with minimal words and simple phrases.

Great writer. Should be considered for The Nobel Prize in Literature.

Hello. I am a novice writer. I write short stories and novels l have published my first book on amazon site (the gates opener. Miracle birth book 1) three years ago. I have been working in media and I have not been read by anyone. What do you advise me to read and spread?

[@jonharrison9222]

Write something worth reading.

I find his work too fanciful for my tastes. His methods seem to be interrelated with his style.

George Saunders is funnier. Doesn’t get drunk on his own sentences, either.
