I learned about Elif Shafak from her TedTalk, and now I totally lover her and her books.

Coleman Barks translates Rumi gorgeously. I'm sure he's taking liberties, but I've never read an account of someone describing their own experiences reading Rumi's poetry in the original language (e.g., Elif Shafak) and felt that something of great significance (other than the gorgeousness of the tongue in which it was written) was lost.

Not hideous, but I imagine I'll still get hated on for being completely enamored with Elif Shafak.

Speaking of TedTalks, I really liked the one by Elif Shafak, whom I love but who never gets mentioned here.

[Also, Wikipedia refers to her stuff as postmodernist, though I don't see how that makes any sense - unless they literally mean "after modernism."]

I love Elif Shafak.

Also, Flannery O'Connor deserves obvious mention in this thread.
