jotun-philosopher asked:

What do you think of Dorothy L Sayers' works?

I think I found her at the wrong age. I loved Agatha Christie when I was 10 or 11 and expected Dorothy L. Sayer to be more of the same, and she wasn’t. And I was not in a place where I would have loved her for what she was doing. And there was a casual antisemitism and jingoism in what I read that I found creepy. And I never went back. I’ve always meant to, but there have always been too many things to read…
