In Reply to: Stendhal, Balzac, Flaubert, Genet.... Zola seems to have aged the worst. We posted by tinear on September 2, 2008 at 09:37:34:
Not sure were you get that. Zola remains a master appreciated and much criticism is written of him today. Flaubert, Balzac and Stendahl were much more writer's turned inward to the psychological and emotional than Zola. Zola was an outside man concentrating on action, overt motivations and polical and economic forces. His books are page-turners more than fit for today's readers. Read Germinal or anything. He lives! Just didn't want your generalization to go as truth.
