segui llorando nena ;)

it´s funny how anglosaxons only focus in their own canon (which is just english and american books) and then they want to pretend that there isn´t such canon for the iberian cultural sphere which goes back centuries before the reconquista and the renaissance it had during the period in which conquered half of the new world and not only that, after the independence of the new republics centuries later, it also has a vast canon of worthwhile books and invented a new genre (magical realism), meanwhile you don´t see the same legacy with anglo countries (with the exception of the US of course), where are the literature marvel of Canada or New Zealand? did something worthile the British produced in the post-war besides George Orwell?

i may ask: Why did English never fulfill it's potential as a language of the arts like French or Spanish?
