Who enjoys Kate Chopin? I realize there is a topic on The Awakening, but that wasn't very popular. Maybe other people enjoy other short stories by her?
I find her style so unique and beautiful. It's deep and romantic... mmmm <3! If you sort of enjoy Hawthorne (haha), I would suggest looking up some of her short stories and reading them more than once. They are all so tricky and awesome. |

I really like her writing style. It's so elegant and tranquil (not to mention romantic). Her writing isn't so heavy in description, but she does enough so that the story comes to life.
Her stories just flow so well. I liked The Awakening. It was a bit depressing in many aspects, and although I could relate to Edna's character, I found her a bit selfish in the end. But Chopin's style is just very engaging. She says enough without droning on and on and that's difficult to find in some 18th and 19th century authors. |
