You usualy will need to look for the Old World: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, not much of Portugal, etc.

There is also China and Japan, with have great things.

Germany and France and even fucking Scandinavia mog the shit out of both the UK and USA

Tzara wasn't a Romanian, he was a jew.

Tolstoy and Chekhov's good work can't carry the entire rest of a nation's second-rate fiction to the top ranking, sorry sunshine.
