Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
I have a postcard of the Brontë sisters blu tacked to my wardrobe door – yep, I’m that girl. There’s nothing better to read in quarantine than a book about containment, but beware: Cathy and Heathcliffe’s [sic] love story will make yours look decidedly ordinary.

The Irish Times has asked several writers to share their favourite funny novels.

Martina Evans
Humour is all about style for me so my favourite funny authors are serious stylists. [...] Rachel Cusk’s gorgeous prose is studded with hilarious observational gems. Her wicked comedy The Country Life combines Jane Eyre and Cold Comfort Farm along with the true-to-life absurdity of Alice in Wonderland. Just writing about it now makes me want to read it again!

Let me tell you, you will lose all self-respect for yourself if you try to copy Mistress Holt. It’s like rewriting Wuthering Heights – just don’t.

Le Temps (Switzerland) features writer Yasmina Reza.

Ecrire pourtant, quelle folle idée! Yasmina a trop lu, adolescente, pour ne pas se méfier de cette tentation. Emily Brontë lui a donné le goût de la lande; Léon Tolstoï celui des isbas où s’éteignent les ermites. Tout cela, elle l’égraine tandis que tiédit l’Empereur Chen Nung. Conversations après un enterrement était un pied dans la porte de la littérature, sourit-elle. [...]
Quel est le classique qui vous accompagne? Les Hauts de Hurlevent d’Emily Brontë. C’est un livre qui m’a fondée, adolescente. (Alexandre Demidoff) (Translation)
