I continually confuse Pamela Dean and Paula Dean.

[xenoglossy]

I enjoyed them when I read them, but I barely remember anything about them now.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you.

I hate Dean's Tam Lin more than I've ever thought I could hate a work of literature. I hate it so much I've fantasized about writing some self-insert fanfiction where I systematically assassinate all the obscenely pretentious classics majors who populate the book using various pieces of sports equipment while they gasp in bafflement at what a field hockey stick might be and compare the attack to some 18th century poem.

I understand that she has a certain style that doesn't make for the most dynamic reading, what with all the meandering diatribes on curtain shopping and dormitory architecture, but she also seems to fail at creating characters- not just likeable characters or relatable characters, but characters as in 'I actually believe I'm reading about a human being with their own thoughts, feelings and motivations.'

tl;dr

If you think that book was awful, it probably was.

Same, only I got a hundred something pages in and gave up. I tried so hard. I feel the same way about Tam Lin. So boring. Perhaps we're missing something?

I just wish I could actually find these books anywhere. ):

I found the Secret Country trilogy at Barnes and Noble, actually. I haven't had any luck finding any of her other books outside the library, but Firebird republished the SC books a few years back.

[hikari87.livejournal.com]

Well, she writes basically for English majors or people who are massively familiar with certain authors/poets, so most people would definitely be bored to tears. I passionately adore her books, but that's because I love the same writers she does, so I get all the references, and also I just liked the characters a lot, I dunno. But not liking it/finding it interesting definitely doesn't make you dumb, just means you don't like her style. I doubt many people do, tbh.
