Looking back at July, it’s interesting to see some of the well known writers we lost over the years – many at the beginning of the month. By no means an exhaustive list:
1817 Jane Austen, Mansfield Park
1826 Thomas Jefferson, The Jefferson Bible
1896 Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom’s Cabin
1930 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Hound of the Baskervilles
1932 Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows
1946 Gertrude Stein, Tender Buttons
1961 Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man & The Sea
1962 William Faulkner, A Rose for Emily
1977 Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita
2022 Susie Steiner, Home Coming
2023 Milan Kundera, The Unbelievable Likeness of Being
2024 Edna O’Brien, The Country Girls
How many have you read? I’m not saying!
