/lit/ - Literature

It being a book has little to do with how far the meta (or anything) is taken and developed, it being a book does not mean it will go further. The main draw to metafiction is that it is and incredibly efficient method of adding in new perspectives without all those pages generally required to provide all the required contexts for the new perspectives.

I agree about the humor, I was just clarifying my post.

Borges and Calvino where not strangers to each other and I believe they did do an interview or two together. While they draw from like sources and exploit many of the same techniques I find them very different writers, about as close as any two modernists or any two realists, etc; they approached writing and literature so very differently and it shows in the result. The big difference for me is that Calvino experimented with reading, Borges experimented with writing.

I am not much of a fan but I would have loved to have been able to sit in on picrel.

Sorry for the meta-thread, but would a non-English languages general be a good idea?
I always see some threads on translation or learning a foreign language or recommendation of good Spanish/Italian/Scandinavian/whatever authors, what about a general for these topics and maybe even for foreign language critique? It would be more focused than having five different threads at the same time...

I don't think you can have a real discussion there, and this general would be focused on literature.
