itt: authors no one ouside of an asylum likes

Hemingway is well liked everywhere. Fuck off, pseud.

>>9173887

Yeah Hemingway is well known and appreciated everywhere.

What strikes me is that the usual memes here refer to authors that are not even heard about at all outside America. I mean, Foster Wallace, or that guy called Something Harris, or the Something Gass, wtf ? I never heard about them in Europe. Looks like only the American praise them.

>>9173893
No he isn't. He's that other hack that professors will tell you about when they joke about USA literature.

Mark Twain

Literally never even seen people outside the US discuss him.

>>9173981
Because most people start and finish discussing him in middle school.

>>9173930
This.

America has produced the best authors of the past fifty years

>>9174008
America has produced nothing but shitty pomo trash in the last 50 years.

>>9174008
There are good authors actually, but your statement is exaggerated

>>9174008

No love for Ed Abbey? He's a literally who outside of the US, I disagree with some of his politics, but fuck, I love Desert Solitaire.

It's a small group of devoted pseuds. They're not widely praised here.

Hemmmmmingway is adored everywhere by insecure closeted manchildren

shakespeare on the other hand is only popular because americans think of him as "that britsh play guy" he's a placeholder if ever i saw one

>>9174569
Garcia Marquez, Bolaño e Vargas Llosa.

>>9173887
Sinclair Lewis

>>9174569
Fuentes (not technically south american but who gives a fuck), borges, bolano, cortazar (even tho he gets hated on a bit)

>>9175942
>insecure closeted manchildren

shakespeare is shit, and he needs to be taken out of schools. we need modern literature

I like him desu

>>9173981
Only correct answer

My diary desu

>>9173981
I'm not an American, and I think Mark Twain is by far one of the best and most interesting of American writers. Not saying an awful lot, but still.

>>9175911
Rorty actually predicted the rise of the shitty left we have nowadays and the rise of a populist like Trump.

>>9176231
Really? :(

>>9174269
This.

>>9175960
This has to be bait. No one that reads. South American lit would give you those three names.

"Mama Mia" Giacomo Laroghetti Ferrari said to the chef cooking spaghetti "thatsa spicy meatball"

I really hate faggots. I bet you watch the godfather and think deniro's mumbling nonsense is actual italian

>>9176421
Actually true. Twain, golden age scify, and then the Russian import. That's it. Oh, and for to me unexplainable reasons, you see people talk good about Stephen King. Hemingway really is a joke, though.

>>9174008
>implying good authors exist

>>9176449
>I really hate faggots. I bet you watch the godfather and think deniro's mumbling nonsense is actual italian

said Luigi Barilla Battali, fuming while smashing his asiago crusted fingernails on the keyboard. That bit about Godfather really driving in his point.

McCarthy

>>9177320
I'm an American who studied in England and we talked a lot about McCarthy. The people across the pond seemed to like him quite a bit.
