RUSSIANS? Anonymous Sun Mar 24 15:41:51 2019 No.12819080 [Reply] [Original]

Why so many threads about Russians? 2-3 Dosty threads, Nab memes, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Sorokin wtf... I moved to Israel 2 years ago but Russian culture still continue to haunt me.... I don't understand you, guys.

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 24 15:47:21 2019 No.12819106 russia has an amazing literary tradition. Now that we're in the thread, any lesser-known recommendations from your school curriculum or something? I've been getting into lieutenant's prose recently

Chekhov's short stories are geniusly detailed, not sure if the translations are comfy enough.
Sorokin as op mentioned, if you like spicy postmodernism (i checked The Day of Oprichnik in translation, it's decent)
Lermontov's "A Hero of Our Time" is rarely mentioned, i like it.
Then for some reason no one ever talks about Gogol when some of his lit is the comfiest folk-themed mystic stuff out there (evenings on a farm near dikanka), and his famous Dead Souls shows the degradation of humanity very brightly

If you saw it mentioned in a /lit/ thred, it was probably me. One other guy read Odessa Tales by Babel.

>>12819218
guess i just visit the wrong threads then. i started frequenting lit less than a month ago, so far i only see people obsessing about Dostoyevsky.
>>12819225
only a few of his books are translated, sadly, though i guess his countless stories wouldn"t be as interesting for someone outside of culture

>>	Anonymous Sun Mar 24 16:15:32 2019 No.12819258 >>12819253 i can read russian so that doesn't matter, which is why im interested in lesser known texts. on /lit/ tolstoevsky, chekhov, gogol, pushkin (pretty much only onegin) and nabby are mentioned fairly frequently, same with grossman
