Hi all.
Inspired by the recent discussion of Top Ten favourite books, I wondered which modern living authors do you think would still be widely read 100 years from now.
I’m not necessarily thinking about “classics” (although that might be part of the reason for long-term popularity.)
My initial contenders are Kazuo Ishiguro, Sarah Walters, Margaret Atwood, Alice Walker and Alan Garner (I looked him up and he is still with us at 91 years old!) They’ve all written books that have original voices and could, in my opinion, stand the test of time.
I’m conscious that authors fall in and out of fashion so making such a prediction is tricky. But that’s part of the fun!
