Man Poland has some of the best writers. I've started reading them recently and I don't know if it's the translation or what but they might be my favorite country for writers. Their prose is not pretentious like other countries and I feel they understand life better than anyone else.

any translation can do him a justice, his prose isn't about it, but I still don't understand why people outside poland like him. He is great if you understand that country and culture

oi big up yourself for reading the polski's. What exactly is it you've been enjoying? I must warn you though that most of the really good stuff if either untranslated or poetry and I'll have to be one of those cunts who says that you'll lose a lot by reading someone like Leśmian or Norwid in translation, and that's if you can even find any half decent translations of those writers

Homosexual and postmodernist degenerate.

How about some wholesome writers? Personally I can only recommend some poets like Szymborska or Miłosz. But as far as prose is concerned I can't think of anything really memorable. I guess I should check Reymont, Zeromski and even Sienkiewicz, which I havent' since school.

If you want Polish anti-semitic kino look no further than Promised Land by Reymont. I still have no clue how that was approved as obligatory reading in schools in the days of communism.

i once heard from a french guy that gombrowicz was relevant for the french because he wrote about his struggles with having been born to a provincial culture with delusions of grandeur and the french have since themselves faded into being a provincial culture with delusions of grandeur.

he is if anything one of the less "hermetic" polish writers outside of things like transatlantyk or the parts of his diaries that deal directly with the polish literary scene. notice how a novel like pornografia uses war-torn poland as a setting and then gives zero shits about the specifics of the polish ww2 experience to instead tell a story about middle-aged voyeurs on a fetishistic quest etc etc. a lot of his writing about societal dynamics and interpersonal pressures seems like it's still entirely applicable today and transferable to how people interact on social media or whatever.

that's because you just rejected schulz for being jewish. the uneasy truth for polack /pol/acks is that no pole ever wrote in polish as well as that jew.
