Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann. It's an amazing novel. Unfortunately it tends to filter fickle reactionary adolescent IQfyizens. But one day you'll see the light. If you aren't man enough to brave Ellmann, then in second place comes Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels.
>Convenience store woman
I felt this book never developed beyond its basic premise. It was cute but I was a bit disappointed.
I don’t think Convenience store Woman is funny, I don’t know how people find it zany and hilarious, it’s basically No Longer Human absorbed into capitalism.
Seriously read it and Dazai side by side. It’s a cry for help that everyone mistakes for kooky Japanese fluff.
Yeah, she is still kicking. Why was it getting acclaim in the 2010s, is that when the NYRB edition came out? Speedboat kind of redefined the non-linear/fractured narrative and did it with wonderful style, few authors have taken it too the extent she has and even fewer have used it so effectively.
Connie Willis is a comedic romance sci-fi/medievalist chad. "To Say Nothing of the Dog" is cute and laugh out loud funny. It's based off of "Three Men in a Boat", similar humor but with a romance thrown in

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
Shit take
Convenience store woman by Sayaka Murata is a quite funny novelette.
Elena Ferrante is most likely a man or a straight couple.

and no, I don’t care what the author says about it. They are notoriously inept at speaking their minds.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
You mean the sorcerers stone?
The same thing in the end.
that's the second best
Definitely the most influential, but the best?
It's a rather fantastic children's book
It's honestly kinda shit.
Compared to what?
Good books.
key word being "children's"
Bingo
Puhdistus
Is it really a good book and not just normie hype?
t. finn
Isn't JK Rowling's new anti troony book good?
>What is the best novel written by a female
Pearl S. Buck, The Good Earth.
>that is alive
off with you, foul swamp monkey.
My vote would be Speedboat.
Is Adler still alive? I also didn't feel Speedboat deserved the acclaim it was getting in the mid 2010s. Still an enjoyable read though.

Possession: A Romance by A.S Byatt
Green Girl
Never heard of that book.
Le statue d'acqua

Never heard of her.
She's won eleven Hugo awards and seven Nebula awards. Even considering the affirmative action boost it's pretty impressive
>Three Men in a Boat fanfic
...I hate women so goddamn much...
Yet Nathalie Sarraute is my favorite writer of all time.
Novel I don't know, but Munro is the best female writer.
it's probably not Eileen but I did love that one
The Secret History
The wee Lezzie invented Dark Academia
only one answer.
Yeah Domenico Starnone is a babe for sure
>t. bot
it's funny because only literal bots say that.
Zoomer paranoia
I don't know many modern authors so forgive me for listing some short story authors I like.
