Can /lit/ recommend me any authors who are also able to masterfully skewer and lampoon the Anglos like Guénon does? I greatly enjoyed encountering that in his works, it was very refreshing and aligned with stuff that I've thought about all my life but never really expressed. It made me realize that he probably was just one in a long line of French writers who have done so, but being educated in an Anglo country naturally I'd never have been told about them in school. Does anyone have any authors they know of who also do this well? Also which books by them

Blavatsky made up a bunch of stuff about receiving esoteric knowledge from alleged 'mahatmas' and she didn't fully understand Sanksrit language/philosophy and made basic mistakes about them in her works. Guenon similarly thought there was a universal eternal truth behind most religions but he could actually read and understand the primary sources in all their original languages and backed up what he said with a bunch of citations from said texts.
