What is your favourite book by an underrated author?I have always loved Voyage in the Dark by Jean Rhys. It’s not that Rhys is so very underrated, but her late novel Wide Sargasso Sea has overshadowed her earlier, more autobiographical books.
Literature was never far away from Dilip Kumar’s repertoire as an actor. He played Heathcliff in the Hindi version of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (Dil Diya Dard Liya, which he ghost-directed) as well as Sarat Chandra’s classic tragic hero Devdas. After years of ghost-direction, Dilip Kumar finally turned into a director officially with the ill-fated Kalinga. The film remained incomplete. (Subhash K Jha)
Mary Colurso: What do you like to read?Emma Terry: I hope this doesn’t sound pretentious or anything, but I love classic literature. I took AP classes in high school, so I love a good Jane Austen. I love the Bronte sisters. “Wuthering Heights” is one of my absolute favorites. I love “Jane Eyre.” That’s probably my favorite book of all time. I could talk for days about how revolutionary the book is for its time, because (the main character) made this decision to go off on her own. And at the time that was incredibly revolutionary for a woman and for the main character of a book to do that.
Los Alamos Reporter informs that the Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever will be next Saturday, July 19, at Ashley Pond. AnneBrontë.org traces how 12 wooden soldiers given to Branwell Brontë in 1836 became the creative catalyst that launched the Brontë siblings toward literary immortality."
