/lit/ - Literature

Eventually yeah, but instead of the war itself pic related is the cultural background it will draw from.

amazing how not a SINGLE one of these replies is about /lit/ except for ROTK.

the classics are obvious - each of the four greats had, and still have, widespread cultural influence (ROTK is by far my personal favorite) all the analects in pic related are worth reading, though they can be hefty and rigorous.

the may 4th movement was a huge turning point for chinese literature and draws a line between historical and contemporary. notable authors are
>ding ling (miss sophia's diary)
>ba jin (family, which is regarded as an analogue to dream of the red chamber)
and of course, the most influential author in this post and absolutely mandatory reading,
>lu xun (countless - start with ah q and wild grass)
for contemporary authors,
>yu hua is like the chinese mishima (to live, brothers)
>gao xingjian (buying a fishing rod for my grandfather)
>yan geling (flowers of war)
I'll stop here because I'm pretty sure this is a meme post, but anyone who wants more recs, do drop a reply.

for prose is a meme, but trust me dude reading translated poetry is like trying to taste something with your feet.

Would writing a short story about a son that tortures his father after years of abuse be too edgy to be actually read by anyone?

I'm dumping all I've got but I would like to see if anyone has similar images for Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky? If not could a learned anon make one?

Why haven't you accepted the ontological argument for the existence of God into your life?
