/lit/ - Literature

How did a one-note hack like Brecht become so widely acclaimed? Whenever I ask people they never even try to defend the plays themselves, they always start to go on about muh V-Effekt, muh technical innovations and such, tacitly admitting that his actual plays are creatively bankrupt and predictable tankie propaganda pieces.

I think it would be more accurate to say that while art obviously can take political stances art which has its political content as its main message is absolute trash, like pic related or any other socialist realist nobody that nobody fucking cares about in post-commie countries.

Can art have any nobler purpose than the political education of the masses?

How do we combat illiteracy, /lit/?

>What I hate is that you dumb fucking devotees praying at the altar of your chosen ideology can do literally nothing else but talk about how literally anything relates to politics.

All art (and therefore literature) is necessarily political, chud.

Is art ought to be political?

Art that does not engage in the political is worthless.

Art that does not engage in the political is worthless.

What does /lit/ think about the most influential playwright of the 20th century, Bertolt Brecht?

Where to start with Berthold Brecht?

Reality has a well-known socialist bias.

Why isn't the em dash a key on the English keyboard? Granted, most plebs don't use it at all for anything, but the same argument can be made for the semicolon, yet it's prominently there.

There is just about zero reason why ^ would be a permanent staple on the keyboard.

One of my favorites.

You don't engage in politics because you have no clout. You're a joke to the people who actually make decisions.

Someone who doesn't care about politics, is not interested in political discourse, and does not vote.

Book 3 -- "The Temple of Dawn": filedropper/yukiomishima-seaoffertility03-thetempleofdawn

Someone posted a site here a while ago--it's a "literary digest" site kinda thing, where blog entries, news items, and other things literature-related were compiled to one page.

It has a light pink or peachish background and lists the links on column format, with about 4 or 5 columns spanning the page.

It has a short url which I can't recall at all. something like www.artlit.com

Oscar Wilde was a socialist.
