In the wilds of Texas. Actually, the liberal oasi
How would you categorize the likes of Tom Sharpe's Wilt, or H.E. Bates's Darling Buds of May?
What about Rumpole of the Bailey?

And how the *%#& would you categorize a novel that is somewhere between those two? Are they all just "comedy"? That would sure simplify things for me....
Thanks!

Well, I have seen "Offbeat/Quirky" listed as a genre on many agent websites :Shrug:

Rumpole is sold as a mystery series, more than anything else. That's why I bought and read them, 'way back when.

But, I'm with Muse -- I see offbeat and quirky listed as what many agents want.

I haven't read the other two, so can't offer any suggestions there, sorry!

I've never heard of any of them.

I must be reading different books.
