/lit/ - Literature

I thought I would meet intelligent, like-minded people like me but instead I am surrounded by normalfag retards with the same level of genius as a random negro from the ghetto.

Even the middle and upper-class girls are just a bunch of low-IQ bimbo stacy whores who listen to nigger/spic music all day long, and try to imitate hoodspeak ebonics, it's embarassing and cringe af.

We live in an era of anti-intellectualism, everyone is encouraged to be a dumb as fuck niggerified NPC retard, and I am übermensch so suck my cock retarded incels

Was there a point to all the esoteric bullshit in his stories or was he just trying to show off?

Give me some Latin American lit recs I've only read Borges. Also is there a chart?

My bf says he doesn’t understand how to read poetry, because when he reads he does it for 5+ hours at a time and reading poetry like that wouldn’t seem “right”. He says if he does anything he spends hours doing it, so he’s not sure how to get into poetry. How do I help him lol

What’s his best short story?

The answer is clear

>>11714803

ITT: Writers only pseuds like.

>From the point of view of literature, the American Revolution was worth it. Canada, New Zealand, Australia on the other hand, can't produce anything of value.
What did he mean by this?

>what is an ahr gen teen ah

Hardmode: Not from Ficciones

Was Borges aware of Wittgenstein?

>muh Martin Fierro

These so called "middle class" ladies don't really show a much higher level of sophistication than that to be found in those rats that hide in decaying slums. I know it, I have been closely observing them for decades. How can people convince me that they are any different when those women practically have the same level of genius and inventiveness of any grunt that only knows to blast primitive and repetitive music all day and nothing more? Because it's exactly what they do.

And those differences they claim for themselves don't really stand out, at least, not enough for me to be able to tell them apart as true individuals. They are just all part of the same blob of mediocrity and brutality that corrupts and slows down what should be a proper civilization, where arts, science and cooperation flourish with the seasons.

Social classes are nothing but a façade that the wealthy and mediocre use to hide the fact they have nothing to offer by themselves, and that they are not really that different from what they call "scum". The only human differences that matter are those that are found in the spirit.

Spanish. It's like Latin but better and you can use it for everyday things like ordering tacos or picking up chicks.

Hey /lit/.

Can we have an advice thread? Not a critique thread, but one where you post any advice, observations or personal rules you have pertaining to the craft of writing-- be it short story writing or poetry or whatever.

Who is this blind spic?

Did this fucking spic every write anything insightful, or is it all just Twilight Zone episode summaries and essays about shit that never happened?

>DUDE LABYRINTHS LMAO

Is there any other author that has even close to the same style as this guy?
Or is he truly one of a kind?

He is beautiful.

What's your favourite Borgesian story/poem?

Other than these:
Library of Babel
The Circular Ruins
Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Personal fave is Funes the Memorious. I don't know how to judge his poetry since Spanish is all Greek to me. But it seems okay, with a few metaphors and images standing out.

/r/inging Borges and Joyce

Read Borges, he's GOAT. From what I've heard his Spanish prose is amazing.

Name a writer better than Jorge Luis Borges and tell us why.
