A review by qkjgrubb
Winter's Tales by Isak Dinesen
5.0
This is my first taste of Karen Blixen/Isak Dinesen and I was in love from the first page. I was encourage by Victoria Mixon's the Art and Craft of Fiction to study her and I am so glad I did. In fact, I'm planning on buying everything by this author and I rarely am that passionate.
Blixen reminds me a lot of Flannery O'connor in the religious imagery, the intensity of the characterization and the perplexing endings. She makes me as charmed with 19th century Europe as OConnor does with Depression era and Post War South.
Mans like with OConnor, when I'm done, I feel like I've had a worshipful experience.
Pity the poor author who I read next.
