I'll have to pick that up...
My own personal rank of Barnard authors I've read:
Sigrid Nunez
Ann Brashares (young books, but not dumb in the least)
Edwidge Danticat
Jhumpa Lahiri
Erica Jong
Mary Gordon
Anna Quindlen
(honestly, I think Anna Quindlen is TOTALLY overrated)
I've heard Cristina Garcia is really good, too. Anyone have any Barnard author thoughts?

I need a next book.
