/lit/ - Literature

[Anonymous No.12897341]

>The Hive, Camilo Jose Cela
>The Adventures of a Photographer in La Plata, Adolfo Bioy Casares
>Cities of Salt, Abdul Rahman Munif
>Captain Michalis, Nikos Kazantzakis
>Outlaws of the Marsh, Shi Nai'an
>A Sportsman's Sketches, Ivan Turgenev
>Men of Maize, Miguel Angel Asturias
>Urupes, Monteiro Lobato
Do you know any youtube channel, blog or instagram that discuss and suggest hidden gems (some aren't that hidden) like the titles above?
In the past, I would find about it here on /lit/, but the board is turning into a mix of /pol/ bait and memes about literature instead of book discussion. The sticky is outdated and limited too.
People who speak Spanish and have read Paradiso by Jose Lezama Lima in the original language. Do you think the translated version takes too much of the light of book?

Reddit is even worse.
I used to like here but /lit/ is turning into a board about memes with literature themes. If you guys can't find some good mods and jannies, it's going to be shit just like /fit/.

OP it's not a discussion forum but the blog "Neglected Books" is filled with great recommendations.

He's right, this board is filled with newfags such as yourself. Individual board culture has been replaced by globohomo /pol9k/ immigrants.

lol I STOPPED using this shithole in 2014 because it's the same threads and books and has been and always will be. I only just came back in january and lo an behold it's exactly the same except there are retarded whiners like you here who think it was ever any different
>globohomo /pol/turds durrrr
next do the one where you call racists "low IQ subhumans" who "get the rope"

I'm racist but I'm capable of using a board without being obsessed with race. Why should /lit/ be just another variation of /pol/? Why not just /lit/?

Thank you.

OP here.
I don't give a shit about racism, nazism, communism or Trumpism/judaism. But when I'm on a board about LITERATURE, it would be cool to find discussions about LITERATURE.

You're about 6 years late to be asking that question but lemme shoot one back at you: why can't I stop listening to Kodachrome by Paul Simon? I accepted long ago if I want to listen to music I'm playing with jewish tricks but this is another level

You actually do care, or you wouldn't be bitching. Nothing has changed. /lit/ has always been a shitty board full of <21 year old psueds talking about the same circle of 40 books drawing from a larger rotating catalog of 200 books. There are a bunch of on topic threads right now, you just don't care because you've read the books. You can either become a philosophy poster or try to make better threads. But you won't. For the record this is one of the shittiest blue boards even when it's on topic because most of the userbase are self-aggrandizing faggots.

These are opposites lol. For the record I do make and post in on topic threads but they can't compete with /pol/nigger birthrates. A discussion of Comte de Buffon doesn't lend itself to hundreds of replies the way a twitter screenshot about women or minorities thread does
>>12898393
I feel that, I can't stop listening to Irving Berlin, who I detest

You're so dishonest. My God.
There is no problem going to /mu/, talking about Paul Simon and his race, religion or political views appearing in the thread. But /mu/ isn't a board to go and discuss only about Paul Simon's race, religion or political views.

That is why you need good janitors to delete threads about "lol niggers amrite?" and keep the board clean.

kek blow it out your ass faggot. You are obviously some lying newfag who probably hasn't even been using 4chan since 2012. You're not going to change anything, nobody is going to change anything for you, and you can't do a fucking thing about it. Hah hah, hah hah, hah. Why don't you suck some joycean farts out of my asshole and run back to whatever shithole you inhabit to whine about how your favorite internet hate machine website has "changed" because "all of those pedophile hackers are RACIST now which is a new development or something right? That's what my friends told me to say when I started coming here ;_;"

There's a translation by Gregory Rabassa (the only one that exists), who is a legendary translator known for having translated García Márquez, Cortázar, Vargas Llosa, Lispector, De Assis, among other authors. I'm not familiar with the Paradiso translation itself, but Rabassa has been praised by García Márquez and many critics, so you're in good hands, anon, and if this is your only way of reading, by all means do it.

Good luck when 4chan turns into the twitter+tumblr of the right.
You really don't get it, do you? People got tired of the SJW stuff because it was ridiculous. When you need to be woke on everything and anything can turn into a political battle, people get tired.
Sometimes, people just want to escape the shitshow or do something not related to what is important to you, doesn't matter if it's a book, video game, football, maybe just a few tips to get a better body or how to fix their computer. Turn the place they go for these things into a political+meme comments section and many will leave.

Yeah man it's so different from 2013, no mira gonzales twitter caps, no good night tao threads, no current "harry potter and the silly thing" threads, no active "can black people even write a book lmao" thread and not so much as a gravity's rainbow thread on page 1. How shall we ever recover?
