Is this like a Pokemon battle?

I choose you Vasko Popa and Anne Pennington

I'm hoping that I can beat you with better English translations.

Is that Borges? What is he saying?

>> No.3365003

it is from an argentinian graphic novel called Perramus by Alberto Breccia and Juan Sasturain. It says:

"they told that he said: "if we can change the reality, then we will change the conversation."

Like who?

>>3364983
Yeah, that's Borges. Apparently it comes from a comic book titled "Perramus" that features several celebrities from Argentina like Gardel. I'll see if I can get a scan.

Btw, he's saying (not literally):
>It's said he said: "Since we cannot change reality, let's change our conversation".

There is a vast difference between a graphic novel and a comic book, pal.

>> No.3365075

>>3365061
That was me being inaccurate with my use of language. I respect and intermittently enjoy all literary formats, illustrated or not.

Btw, here's a scan (4 volumes, in Spanish, obviously):

There's been three mentioned already. There's also a strong culture and tradition of epic poetry, so many cultured Serbs can write pretty decent poems (Karadzic and Tesla are good examples of this). There's some nice, if a little formal, romantic poetry from Jovan Jovanović Zmaj (the Dragon). Charles Simic is good, but a little old fashioned maybe, I like Djogo, but I'm not sure he's aged well (though was quite a wit), I don't know. There's some interesting contemporary stuff coming out, and plenty of people seem to be saying there's a lot of world class poets coming out of Serbia now. I'm not really up on that beyond being dissapointed about Saša Milivojev being a dude.

>>3365061
no, there isn't.

It's an stupid term created to sale "Maus" and other "mature" comics.

>> No.3365148

>>3365142
I wish I could remember the interview where Alan Moore calls it a marketing tactic, I think it's the Newsnight one. But yeah, it was just something they did in the 80s to sell comics with slightly more complex/mature themes to a new audience.
