>"Masterpieces of World Literature" course.
What would /lit/ course look like? There are 12 sections.

>> No.12831124 [DELETED] 

you can just imagine the cadre of hooknosed Jews huddled together around the conference table in the English department, hunched over in their seats, discarded half-empty containers of trendy ethnic food strewn about the office, sweating profusely, desperately groping for any non white male author to shove onto the list

Those are fair choices I think. I could imagine you could find a copy of most of those translated around the world. I'm sure because of the title of the course they also wanted to pick titles from all around the globe even if they aren't the first examples that come to mind.
