>But if I have to speak of German writers, there is one German writer that I would like to speak about. And I think I spent most of my life reading and rereading him—at first in English and now in German. And that writer is, as you may have guessed, Arthur Schopenhauer. I think that if I had to choose one philosopher, one metaphysician, I would choose Schopenhauer.

Schopenhauer is the most /lit/ philosopher.

>Is that Africa you posted, anon? I can't see too well

Just skimmed an interview this guy and he comes across as a huge self-important pseud. He also seems to love LARPing as an Anglo ("I have English blood!"). Are his writings any good?

opinions on Borges? favorite work by him?

>author invents several words then gives them multiple implied meanings so that the entire phenomenological experience of reading the text varies wildly depending on the context of how you assign meaning to these invented nonsense words

Please give me suggestions of good South American literature, books that could be called classics.

*AHEM*


FUCK NOVELS

Where to begin reading him.

Redpill me on this man, /lit/. I found his name in The Art of Story by John Truby, and the things I've read about the Aleph sound really original.

Has anyone checked Borges out? What do you think?

Buenos, soy de Argentina. ¿Os gusta este escribidor? En mi país él es un nadie.

>pretending to know more than Borges

“The taste of the apple ... lies in the contact of the fruit with the palate, not in the fruit itself; in a similar way ... poetry lies in the meeting of poem and reader, not in the lines of symbols printed on the pages of a book. What is essential is the aesthetic act, the thrill, the almost physical emotion that comes with each reading.”

Is blindness a cheatcode to get infinite literary talent?

why did he use the word "vertiginoso" so much?
