Bad bait.

If you believe this sincerely, you have read nothing apart from your cramped western canon, written, read and commented by faggots who champion Apollonian thought. You have no interest in interesting thought. You paraphrase and misquote the occasional Greek and Roman faggot. The only way you know to talk about politics is Marx and for Psychology is Freud. You are not even a pesud. Even a pesud will block out the nations that have been nominated for the literature Nobel Prize. You are a subhuman nigger.

What are you goobers talking about? He should have omitted Egypt, South Africa, Peru and Guatemala according to this map, but he even had the decent to omit Nigeria, which few chuds would think to do.

I also think he should probably omit Morocco and Cyprus. Maybe also Pakistan (do the Vedas count?)

If you are restricting it to only modern incarnations of those countries then there is The Lake of Vengeance by Hong Thai. It’s a romance/ thriller from Vietnam about a detective going after a corrupt lord and others entangled in supernatural killings blamed on a monster said to chop off heads of its victims which was adapted to a popular film. I couldn’t find any translations of it to read in English though.

I really wanna learn Spanish so I can read authors like this. The only Quiroga book for sale in english is ai translated and the only translated stories I found were on some dudes blog. After reading 2666 and most of Bolaño's work i feel like I am missing something by being an anglophone. I have a mild grasp of the language from school but I should work on immersing myself in it.
