Duras isn't even the best Marguerite, let alone a woman author worthy of praise. Marguerite Yourcenar mogs.

Ayn Rand

Mansfield Park is better than Persuasion

These are all arse. Read Iris Murdoch or Doris Lessing.

Murdoch is a bit weird. Lots of fun books, but maybe only the first two have a case to be great.

For postwar English stuff, maybe Spark is better?

>tfw dropped 3 of those authors mid book and shan't be checking out the rest
thanks I guess
