I've read a lot of American lit recently. I want different perspectives and cultures, where should I turn? The Russians are always suggested, but they're just white men who happen to be communist.
I have never read any South American lit, or Chinese and I am always curious about African lit but just don't know of much.
yo wtf is this, bump my thread!!
South America has lots of neat shit, they've got a really strong literary tradition that kicks off in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Read Borges, Bolano, Bioy Casares, Marquez, and everyone from that circle of writers. They're all great. I can't help you much for Africa and China.
>they're just white men who happen to be communist.
If I had a dollar for every inane /lit/ posts I'd be a millionaire.

Thank you! I've heard much about a few of the authors you brought up, and had some specific books by them in mind to read. I'll have to make my way south soon ;)

The /pol/ troll seems to have gotten sick of his pretending to be /pol/ bait and is switching to a tumblr bait strategy.
The evolution of trolls is fascinating.

I have read Murukami and Osamu Dazai, and want to make my way to the militant gay Japanese author I see posted on here a lot. I do adore the Japanese, so more the merrier.
