Kys nigger.

Have you ever been there? It's every where in Scandinavia; the weather, culture and most of all the people.

>>15663769
Scandinavian culture discourages greatness and promotes sameness. They're afraid of being different and crave social approval more than anything else. Basically, they're the women of Europe, and just like women, they've never written anything worth reading.

>>15663769
Comfort kills the creative drive.

>>15663769
I suspect you haven't actually read much Scandinavian literature and are presupposing it's dull and boring because their cultures appear dull and boring. The literature, however, is far from dull and boring. Hamsun for example can be quite surreal and erotic and the emotions you feel reading his novels are often intense.

>tried to read the Icelandic sagas
>it's just a glorified family diary

>>15663769
Some of the most schizo shit (in a positive sense) you'll find is from Scandinavia. I can only assume this thread is pure fucking bait.

>>15663911
And yet they have the highest living standards.

Try living here. It's so comfy. And if we don't feel comfy, we get drunk, get laid, or have fistfights.
Who needs to masturbate over Joyce or Wallace, when they can just go do something with other people and have a good time?

Kierkegaard is considered one of the founders of existentialism. You should read it if you're into philosophy / existential philosophy

Because they’re a fundamentally feminine and inferior culture. They would have been better off being Germanized honestly.

Kierkegaard is great.
Fear and Trembling is his best work, in my opinion.

Scandi culture is like slave morality the region. Of course great art would be rare from those countries.

Is Iceland considered Scandinavia? I suggest you to read Independent People by Halldór Laxness.

Antingen älskar man honom eller så slutar man läsa efter 10 sidor för att man tycker det är äckligt. Han är rolig och sorglig samtidigt om man kan hantera brutaliteten och dialekten. Han kan dock bli träig att läsa eftersom det dels är väldigt svårtläst och dels blir lite repetitivt.
Bara läst hans översättning av Cioran, den var bra.

You absolute retards, there is no other country in the world which has produced as much quality literature per capita as Norway in the 21st century.
Only 5 million people. And yet Solstad, Fosse, Askildsen, Flogstad, and arguably Knausgaard are all world-class authors.

This really is not a controversial statement in literary circles. Fosse is probably gonna win the Nobel soon. Solstad is endorsed by Handke, Lydia Davis, and James Wood, has won almost every prize in the region, etc. Knausgaard is possibly the most widely read writer in Europe, and that still counts for something.

>>15663769
It's impossible for /lit/ to say anything at all about scandinavia that isn't informed by /pol/ or other media; they don't actually read, especially not translationed works from smaller countries. The only people you'll ever get talking about scandi lit on this website are actual scandis, and half of them won't have read anything either, they'll just be spouting shit in the hopes that their non-scandi faggot friends will accept them as a "based and redpilled scandi". Few places are surrounded by as much foreign bullshitting as Scandinavia, largely because of the US' decades-long, severe obsession with it.

You're an idiot, and you're not here for literature.

To those who aren't idiots, here's some thoughts on scandinavian literature. Hamsun is perhaps the greatest - he inspired much of the rest of 20th century literature, and is an absolute joy to read, from the madness of the youth works to the warm irony of his more mature works - some of the first indications of stream-of-consciousness are found in Mysteries. Hamsun was adored by the entire literary vanguard of the 1900-1920s. He only missed once, and that was with his sanatorium novel, "The Last Chapter", which figures, because he wrote it during a depression. Anyone familiar with Heidegger's philosophy will not be surprised to learn that Hamsun was his favorite writer - the entire existential part of the first division of Being and Time can be gleaned from Hamsun's early takes on subjectivity in modernity, in Hunger and Mysteries, which remain some of the most poignant achievements in the literary investigation of subjectivity even a century after their publication. Heidegger even directly quotes Hamsun in his "Einführung in die Metaphysik", quotes the August Trilogy, the critique of modernity contained therein mirrored in Heidegger's own later works.

Strindberg revolutionized theater - The Ghost Sonata and A Dream Play are still unparalleled achievements. Inferno is some of the wildest literature ever written, a Swedenborgian fever dream put on page, and every single writing on the fever of madness pales in comparison, even Dostoevsky's. Ibsen also revolutionized theater, although I personally find him of more historical than aesthetic interest.

And the Danes aren't without talent either. Kierkegaard has already been mentioned, for good reason. Karen Blixen, Tom Kristensen, Johannes V. Jensen and Henrik Pontoppidan deserve mention as well. These three last ones do not reach the world-historical status of Hamsun, Strindberg, Ibsen and Kierkegaard, but they're very, very far from boring, unless you're a retard. Oh yeah, and of course, the danes have H.C. Andersen, who is a household name pretty much in the entire world.

>>15663911
>the Heideggerian Das Man, but confined to women and scandinavians
Your takes are excruciatingly boring and dumb. But riddle me this: which of the Scandinavians have you read?

>>15668702
Very interesting. I've read very little contemporary literature, but I quite liked Knausgaard, and he is high among my favorite living essayists.
>Solstad, Fosse, Askildsen, Flogstad
Could you name some titles from these authors that'd be a good place to start?

idk i read at least a dozen good-to-great new swedish novels a year

i liked this recent essay on contemporary lit http://freudianska.hemsida.eu/texter/blindhet-och-klyvnad/

Lots of great recs in here, would like to add:
Pär Lagerkvist (both poetry and novels)
Hjalmar Söderberg
and because you want fun reads:
Sture Dahlström
Arto Paasilinna

>>15663769
>> overwhelmed with boredom and dullness

Dunno. Scandi child books were 10/10 when I was a child, and scandi cartoons (or maybe scandi-inspired, dunno) about some kids playing in the snow were 10/10 for an adult me.


Yes, they're SEVERELY bland, but somehow manage to make the blandness cool and good.

>>15668798
I am gonna assume you are would read them in translation (you should ask a Norwegian instead if you speak the language).
For Solstad, either T. Singer, or, if you find it intimidating - Shyness and Dignity.
For Fosse, start with his plays, I think they are better than his prose and also shorter. "Plays Six" is a good collection in english and available to pirate.
Askildsen, and Flogstad are hard to find in English, so just get whatever you can.
Judging from the fact that you seem to like Hamsun and Kierkegaard and namedropped chad Pontoppidan I would suspect that you would love Solstad. Unrelatedly, you also sound like you must read Bernhard if you haven't already.

While Arto Paasilinna is great fun to read Finland isn't Scandinavian, just so you know. A shame that most of his works aren't translated to English (as far as I know).

Not for a long long time.

Eyvind Johnson is a favorite. After learning more about history I think the historical novels he wrote were particularly erudite in reconstructing the mentality of the eras, careful to not let modern concepts inflect anything.

>>15664913
Are there any translated ebooks and can you give us a summary, I read the wiki and a few websites but I'm sure you have more insight.

>>15667892
Swede here, can confirm. Maybe that's why we are dismantling the entire nation at the moment. I'll be moving away from this gray wasteland before I'm dead.

>mutt's cognitive dissonance and complexes exposing them as the frauds they are
Scandinavians are superior to you in every single way, it's just that you enjoy low-brow literature and don't have the brain for the big books.

>>15669638
It's called Assisted Living in english, the translation is not particularly true since the original is written in an ancient Northern accent that is barely comprehensible, kind of like Scots in the British isles but with no equivalent in America. He seems to be a prototype for pol/alt-right edgelords, mixing de Sade type pornographic cruelty with justification and theory of nazism.

>>15669179
To female mind. Men would rather suffer for purpose than live comfortably for nothing. And even if men want to be comfortable it´s southern style siesta, chilling out in nature and friends instead of sitting on expensive sofa watching expensive TV.

I was very confused reading Days of His Grace what was authentic record and the authors fiction, I learned later that the story of the Lombard women stuffing their genitals with hen meat and letting it ferment to incur foul smell and dissuade rape by the invading Huns was actually real.

What about the second book though? I found by myself the name of the first one but it seems like the second is not even translated.

>>15669626
I've been known to shill Eyvind Johnson once or twice on this board too. The man's historical fiction is fantastic; it's a shame his translations are so hard to find.

Don't comment on things you know nothing about. It is a beautiful story of love and sadness. Along with a litany of obscure literally references and jokes about swedish culture and the language itself. All set in a hellscape version of rural Sweden populated by calibalistic homo/Nazi/tranny/pedo grandad's who all happen to be extremely well read on autistic philosophy.
Anyone who says it is a justification of Nazism hasn't read it as for the authors anti-Semitism however it is pretty well documented, but if being an antisemite means you shouldn't be read most of the western canon goes out the window.

Scandis have always been matriarchal insect cucks. The narrow slice of historical viking ‘manliness’ they shill whenever they can comes from the Germanic leftovers on the west coast of Jutland and Norway. Before that they were proto hippie earth worshiping farmers, look at the Valar vs war like Germanic Aesir. They are built for stability not for excellence. Notice how whenever a nord is mocked on this site his go to retort is ‘our women are better than yours’. This cuckhold strategy survival adaption was selected for to counter their warlike imperialistic neighbours. The very thing happened in ww2 when the Germans rolled through without a fight, the Scandis simply offered their women and land

The meaning of the English word Scandinavia isn't subject to your opinion. Scandinavia remains a common English exonym denoting the same area as the endonyms Norden and Pohjola. Although it's not universally strictly defined.

>>15664153
>about living standards
By that logic then the poorest countries would produce the greatest literature. Scandinavia exposes all the fairy tales of low income suffering geniuses and shows even something else that is quite obvious to people with at least average IQ. Better living standards lead to better education, something USA doesn't have. And thus the culmination occurs, amerimutts are too low IQ and uneducated to understand high brow literature, they can only read low brow literature that tries to disguise itself as something better when their creators themselves are uneducated and low class people who just want to create something for bragging rights. Jung described you perfectly.

My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgård is supposed to be really good, norwegian author. Been meaning to read it for a while.

There’s good stuff but most of it is not available in english, like ”Autisterna” by Stig Larsson and ”Startpistolen” by Claes Holmström. They certainly aren’t boring (unless your attention span has been damaged beyond repair, in which case you might aswell give up on litterature)

>>15664153
Nah, this is how you poor people cope. Sour grapes.

>>15673091
How do you cope for having such a shitty body of literature compared to other European regions? Is it the weather? LMAO

>>15664153
This.
>>15663911
It's because the people of scandinavia evolved in the cold for so long. Extreme coldness means there will be less vegetation and predation, meaning only the intelligent will survive. This is how you end up with populations with an average IQ of 110 in Asia, and also explains the similarities in this respect. The problem here is that when you stay in these climates for too long, then you turn into a coward, since any type of daring is deterred by horrible weather and the possibility of losing the tribe you rely on. This is how you have native canadians being ruled in longhouses by 80 year old grandmas. If a group of people stays in these hypercivilized conditions for too long, then the advantage they have acquired through natural selection will begin to dissipate back into retardation, since the retarded will no longer be killed.

>To those who aren't idiots, here's some thoughts on scandinavian literature. Hamsun is perhaps the greatest
Stopped reading there, that's so obviously Ibsen. In terms of originality and influence, the greatest scandi writers and thinkers have been Ibsen, Swedenborg, Kierkegaard, Andersen, in that order.

But the thread is basically right, most do suck. There's very little produced up there, which makes me think a latin or a celtic strain is needed to make great art.

>>15673215

one example of this aspect of the scandinavian mindset is the fact that didn't take part in the great discoveries and the colonization of the Americas and the XIX century imperialism in Africa and Asia, even tho they had the wealth and military might to do so.

>>15673937
There really is something about /lit/ posters trying to pass judgment on certain cultures entire output based on a few political memes and the 3 - 4 authors they actually know the names of (but haven't read). Seeing people list nothing but Ibsen, Kierkegaard, Andersen and maybe Strindberg over and over says nothing about Scandinavia, and everything about the poster.

>>15673929
dont be mad at me just because basic history is a mystery to you. Ibsen had the approval of great writers to come, and was acknowledged as a major influence on literature. He may have been the biggest name in literature at the time of his death, maybe second to Tolstoy

>>15673900
It's absolutely the case. Where is the Scandi Turner? The Scandi Shakespeare, Welles, Mozart? It seems there' something about having purely honest, bland Germanic blood that thwarts art.

>>15674022
Why do the scandinavian countries need to have an artistic output equal to that of nations ten times their size? You don't actually care to receive any sort of answer; you just want to assert your low-effort assumption which could not possibly have sprung from experience, but rather ignorance.

>Where is the Scandi Turner? The Scandi Shakespeare, Welles, Mozart?
Where are their equivalents in any other culture? Do you think you're making a point with a rhetorical question as inane as this?

This makes a lot of sense if you apply it to Scandinavia. Look at Greek art. Females were portrayed as pale because they were in the kitchen so the sun didn't burn them. Males were portrayed as dark (tanned) because they were out there in the sun earning a living. Before you go full /pol/tard you should considered that this has nothing to do with race but with the portrayal of their gender and function. Either way, among whites, women prefer those with darker features (hair, skin, etc.) but with blue eyes. Pale and blonde = feminine.

Now, as you know, Scandinavia is having a massive increase in trannies. Like holy shit. Many young men are becoming trannies. Who make the best trannies? Blond men. They're basically women already. All it takes is a little push.

As you now, Scandinavia has sucked in art and literature historically. They just don't have in them. Why? Because artistic pursuits are fundamentally masculine. Art requires reason, drive, spirit, and balls. Good male artists abound, good female artists are scarce. In the past, women were receptors of good romantic poems made by men. Men are active, women are passives. And Scandinavians suck at art because they are feminine, and they are feminine because they are blond.

Now, as feminine cultures, they care for comfort and living standards because women are neat and materialistic and want a clean house. Comfort kills the creative drive. So not only are Scandinavians feminine and therefore not artistic, but they are also materialistic and bland societies who live bubbled lives which don't enable the creative juices.

Blond & pale = feminine = high living standards = sucking at art.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.
THE GREEKS WERE RIGHT.

Wow bro, you have totally seen through society and it's lies. 19th century anthropology is like so underrated and essential. Keep being an intellectual, chicks love intellectuals, when you tell her about your racial you'll dunk that letter haplotype in her for sure.

But other fair-skinned (and blonde) Germanic countries like England, Germany, and Austria (and Germanic diaspora in the Americas) are as good at art as the meds.

Scandinavians are blondest, though.

>England
>good at art

Like some people have said, scandinavia has a very conformist culture that discourages individuallity and sticking out. I personally have a hard time tolerating this country, people are willing to accept the most retarded lies and paradoxes just cause the state tells them.
But some recommended swedish authors would be August Strindberg, Vilhelm Moberg, and Nikanor Teratologen.

Those countries are all heavy mixes of Germanic, Celtic, and maybe some other things though. There's something about being purely Germanic, and therefore simple (this does not mean stupid), that thwarts art. Case in point: There are more great redheads in the arts than blondes, despite the relative rarity of the former.

You wish. Blue eyes are feminine too.
