Helen Macinnes
Which author do you think I should choose to write monster essays on?
I can choose from the following authors (to read three of their books and write monser essays on): Julian Barnes, Arthur C. Clarke, J.M. Coetzee, Frederick Forsyth, William Golding, Aldous Huxley, P.D. James, Helen Macinnes, Alistair MacLean, Dorthy Sayers, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jules Verne, or Herbert George Wells.
I really enjoy suspenseful stories, murder mysteries and the like, but I’m willing to go for something that makes me think if it has a meaning to it. I’d prefer them to be pretty readable. Thank you!
Do you mean you have to choose one author and write an essay on three of that author’s books? By monsters do you mean bad and/or evil men?
If I’m right about the above, I’d say you can’t go wrong – as far as mystery is concerned – choosing either Dorothy L. Sayers and her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries or P.D. James’ mysteries.
If you want a different kind of story, choose Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Master of Ballantrae and Kidnapped. Each is very different from the other and each has someone quite corrupt in it.
H.G. Wells’ books are more sci-fi like War of the Worlds; The Invisible Man; and The Island of Dr. Moreau.
I, personally, would choose one of those four.
