Greatest and Silent
How in the bloody hell did these two generations produce some of the most wonderful writers of all time.
Every writer that I am absolutely enamored with are from these two generations.
Why does it seem like such a falloff after these generations
I just started reading a Gene Wolfe novel and I couldn’t even finish the first page before setting the book down and saying to myself “holy shit, this is beautiful”
His prose is so enticing that I want to continue reading off of that alone.
I end up searching the birth dates of all the writers I love, and all of them end up being from the greatest or silent generation. I suppose the greatest gen earned their name.
