While reading The Art Lover by Carole Maso, I found her to be quite different in some ways but also similar in others to the writers that we have read. Maso changed the literary tradition by having no set story in her novel. When reading her novel you go to a family then all of a sudden it switches to her fathers death. This kind of writing is very different then some of the novels …showed first 75 words of 782 total…

…showed last 75 words of 782 total…I would say that she is the successor of Sylvia Plath. Plath and Maso are two very descriptive writers. Both of them have a sad, depressing tone in their writings. They paint a picture in your minds so you can almost feel what they are feeling. I am glad to have read many different kinds of authors and to be challenged by Maso's and Plath's work. Both writers are so different but still the same.
