John Milton or James Joyce. Probably Milton.

I have much doubt that "most" Lushie Literary Bibliophiles can favor "only" one author so easily.
There are so many who have contributed great benefit in their genre, und to all of us.

So my meek choice ist simply because I miss sitting comfy, bundled up on a cold night getting lost in her mystery und intrigue.
I very much desire to feel the excitement in turning the first page of her new offerings again.

Dame Agatha - Mary Clarissa Christie - Lady Mallowan...
Agatha Christie.

Poe


I second that. He was a master of the creative use of language. I mean, just check out the 1st stanza of The Raven:

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—
Only this and nothing more.”

This is brilliant. Poe stresses every other syllable, almost exactly the way Shakespeare did. It's very difficult to do and The Raven goes on for 17 stanza's. This, to me, is the greatest poem ever written.

Terry Pratchett ~ I love his books. He’s got a fantastic sense of humor, sarcasm and irony.

There's a few here I could get behind, but I'll toss out one we lost only recently: Leonard Cohen. Based on his last album and what I have heard from the upcoming posthumous one, he still had a few poems left in him.

It's always tempting to say Shakespeare, but the satisfying thing about him is that by the time he died, he'd pretty much retired from writing. He'd said all he wanted to say, and was enjoying the life of a country gentleman. There's no suggestion of unfinished business.

Of writers who died prematurely, I'm tempted to say Emily Bronte, but "Wuthering Heights" is such a total one-off that you can't imagine it being bettered, even if she'd lived a full life instead of dying at the age of 30.

So it has to be Jane Austen, because she was clearly still actively writing and on top form when she died at 41, leaving an unfinished novel and the possibility of more.

03 January 2025 - Why not start the year with a bit of smut by your favourite Lush author? Or if not, try my latest instead. The Jogger And The Flasher | Lush Stories Please read, comment and maybe give it a ❤️ - or even a⭐ if you really enjoy it! Thank you! Annie xxx

David Foster Wallace.


I was just about to post this, his death was a tragedy for modern literature

Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Hunter Thompson. He'd probably just kill himself again, but I miss his voice - gonzo, but at the same time, reassuringly sane - in this era of wall to wall political bullshit.

Don't believe everything that you read.

That's a toss up between Kathy Acker and Virginia Woolf. Do not force me to choose.

I personally love the pessimism of Konstantinos Karyotakis, he was a great Greek poet and my heart gets happy reading his poetry. So, that's one who I'd bring back.

I'd have Elmore Leonard back, please.

Although Dickens might have some interesting observations about modern society.
