elite run of book titles? (1 Viewer)

[mysteric]

anne carson has it on lock imho — eros the bittersweet; autobiography of red; if not, winter; glass, irony, and god; decreation: poetry, essays, opera — I think are some of the titles of all time

I don't understand the question.

Do you mean, like, book titles that are really cool (as in, the title itself is awesome) or do you mean series where all the books are good or do you mean authors who released a ton of good books in a long streak, including in unrelated series or something else?

If you mean the favorite novel series ... I'm more into non-fiction books but I like the Discworld (Terry Prachett), Jack Reacher (Lee Child), and Carl-Mørck (Jussi Adler-Olson) series.

just authors with book titles that go hard, mostly in succession
I do love anne carson, but her titles do go unreasonably hard

I don't think I've read anything by her, but her books look interesting! I'll see if my library has her stuff.

if not, winter is a book on translations of sappho, autobiography of red based loosely off geryon (from hercules' 10th task) which was extraordinarily popular for its genre: she's a classicist so greek poetry and mythology are very prominent themes
she does have a knack for titles though, I'm in love with all of them
if you do like her style but like broader references, av marracini is a critic whose writing I came across recently and love -- her essay for poetry foundation, but there are other geometries, may be one of my favourite pieces of writing
