Bloom is a literary site devoted to highlighting, profiling, reviewing, and interviewing authors whose first major work was published when they were age 40 or older. Great idea for a website.
If someone is labeled a “late bloomer,” the question Bloom poses is, “Late” according to whom?
André Aciman, Nicholson Baker, Kit De Waal, Isak Dinesen, George Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, PD James, Tove Jansson, James Michener, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Walker Percy, Donald Ray Pollock, Annie Proulx, Mary Roach, James Salter, Mark Twain, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Lidia Yuknavitch are just some of the authors they've discussed or interviewed.
