- Summary
- What makes a cult writer? Ian Haydn Smith handpicks 50 notable figures from the modern world of literature and explores the creative genius that earned them the cult label. Whether pioneering in their craft, fiercely and undeniably unique or critically divisive, cult writers come in all shapes and guises. Some gain instant fame, others instant notoriety, and more still remain anonymous until a chance change in fashion sees their work propelled into the limelight. Cult Writers introduces 50 novelists deserving of a cult status. The literary genres and subjects explored within these writers' pages are rich and diverse - acting as mirrors of their genius minds. From Irvine Welsh's gritty Edinburgh streets, to Ken Kesey's drug-fueled madness; from feminist trailblazer Sylvia Plath to the magical realism of Angela Carter - discover little knowns with small, devout followings and superstars gracing the covers of magazines. Each writer is special in their individuality and their ability to inspire, antagonize and delight. Following Cult Artists, Cult Filmmakers and Cult Musicians - Cult Writers is an essential addition to any book lover's library, as well as an entertaining introduction to our weird and wonderful world of literature.
