And so I go farther into the lists. My last two posts have prompted a friend to ask whom I regard as the greatest writers who ever lived. I've already dug myself into two holes, so why not a third? In no particular order, but in two ranks, they are:
Shakespeare
Tolstoy
Dostoevsky
Sophocles
Homer
They clearly fall into the front rank. To that I would add:
Kazantzakis
Anton Chekhov
James Joyce
Hemingway
Joseph Conrad
Mihail Bulgakov
T.S. Eliot
Samuel Beckett
G.M. Hopkins
John Donne
So, as Tupac Shakur said, "Holler if ya hear me."
