With it being the 250th anniversary of the United States of America this month on July 4th, it occurred to me to promote a few American authors that need more love!
I came across this idea from a YouTuber. I decided to make my own list of underrated American authors that perhaps need more attention. Sure it's easy to list Octavia Butler, Joyce Carol Oates, Toni Morrison, Mark Twain, Louisa May Alcott, Pearl S. Buck, Kate Chopin, and so on. But who are some other, not so well known American writers who are gems?
I had a difficult time making this list because it's difficult to come up with American authors that I have read and consider underrated gems! It's a tall order for sure. I've added links to most of my reviews for each novel below. Check out the list below.
1. The Seas by Samantha Hunt
2. Jubilee by Margaret Walker
3. The True Story of Hansel & Gretel by Louise Murphy
4. These Women by Ivy Pochoda
5. The Familiar Dark & The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel
6. Saving Ruby King by Catherine Adel West
7. The Second Mrs. Hockaday by Susan Rivers
8. Woodworking by Emily St. James
9. His Fair Assassin Trilogy by Robin LaFevers
10. All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker
Have you read any of the above authors? Which American authors would make your list of underrated ones?
