And is it wrong to pick your favourite author based on just one book?
That should be ok. If you really like that book, for example read it once or more a year, if it has made a deep impression on you. And there are authors who are famous for just one book like John Kennedy Toole (A Confederacy of Dunces) or Malcolm Lowry (Under the Volcano). Those are two wonderful novels. It shouldn´t make them uneligible, just because they couldn´t write another such impressive story. Under the volcano was my favourite novel for quite some time, so I then considered ML my favourite author.
I don´t have one these days. When I saw this thread, I realized after a while that I just couldn´t pick one. I´ve read about seven novels by Iain M. Banks this year, but although I liked them, that doesn´t make him fill the vacant spot. |
