I agree with another comment about separating Anglo authors from others. My favorite Anglo author is Cormac McCarthy. I feel self-conscious as he’s a white man who writes manly stories about white men, but his style is hypnotic to read. He uses obscure words that I’ve never heard before, but somehow I know what they mean because it flows so well.
