Dorothy Sayers had Lord Peter Wimsey say that detective fiction was the most moral fiction there was. Reason, truth, and justice triumph.
I wouldn’t diss ALL 20th century fiction, but I get her point of view. The “junk” was often better, with respect to universal truths than the highly esteeemed stuff. For every Flannery O’Connor there was some nihilist, several nehilists. But even lefty fantasy writers like LeGuin asked good questions.
Amd the theological reflection is good.
LeGuin, IMO, stinks on ice, her tranny sci-fi is tawdry beyond belief and is utter garbage!
Orwell, Huxley, Finney, and Ellison put her to shame and in spades!
The author of this article is a moron!
I hardly touched upon a list of great American and Brit fiction writers of the 20th century, all of whom she eschews/ed.
She majored in English, but then went on to be a lawyer and now teaches "entrepenuership" and business law. Yes, I looked her up.
She can't even get the facts straight re Jesus! Her Priest must also be a damned dolt.
