"Immersion in the life of the world, a willingness to be inhabited by and to speak for others, including those beyond the realm of the human, these are the practices not just of the bodhisattva but of the writer." --Jane Hirshfield

T.C. Boyle tried to be funny in A Friend of the Earth. It was too cheesy.
I'd give McEwan a chance, I liked Atonement. Good writer.
I didn't like AFotE either. It's always interesting to see what authors do with ideas, imo, rather than sticking to relationships.
