Having Kafka as Germany's national writer was most problematic for me.

>Wind up Bird Chronicle for Japan
>A comic book for Persia
>Mockingbird for the USA
>Pride and Prejudice for the UK
>Not "The Peasants" for Poland
>Camus was Algerian!!!4!!

I sort of agree with the choice for China.
DotRC is pretty influential from what I've gathered. You can make an argument for RoTK, but they are both held as Great Classics by the Chinese literary tradition.

The Stranger has to be the most famous book set in Algeria, right? I didn't think that one was that bad

>>9463635
Do they really represent the modern states?

Italian party life, German hand-wringing, and Japanese "culture"?

>>9463930
What is really the criteria in that image? It seems very arbitrary to me the more i see it.

>>9463944
Aside from the image, saying that Dante represents the modern conception of Italy, or defines the people that live there now seems incorrect.

>>9463965
Well, obviously a 600-something years old writer whose magnum opus is an epic poem about going to hell would not represent modern Italy, and neither would Goethe. Though Dante did establish the modern italian language.
But who said he represents modern Italy? I couldn´t get that from the image, since it´s very ambiguious.
