I'm not going to be content with my art until I'm thrown bodily out of a theater by a mob of shouting Italian fascists. I believe there's a finite number of steps I can take in my life to accomplish this.

These are the Italian books that are memed the hardest on /lit/. The miracle here is that they're not only all classics, but, unlike most /lit/ memes, they're enjoyable from cover to cover.

When I was in middle school there was this Federico (?) Moccia guy whose novel were pretty much ubiquitous among teenager girls. I think you can hardly find a more popular example of terrible but famous (at the time at least) writer.

>Italian fascists
There is no right wing in Italy. This entire country is just discount USA. Every single Italian worships the USA in one way or the other, and every single Italian is a failed American. Myself included; I recognize this. All of our dreams are small-scale American dreams. I would even dare claim that we're the European nation that got pozzed the hardest with American ideology. A famous rapper french kissed a tranny on national TV like a week ago and his influencer wife was watching. It was cringe kino and my extended family witnessed it passively without changing channels. They had to see it. They never change channels or turn off the TV. Pure Stockholm syndrome.
The only person who's outspoken against trannies is my French uncle's wife. Everyone else is buckbroken by the USA so hard it's unreal.

Anon has written with google translate and therefore does not know how to use the word kino.

I suspect that this anon had replied to a post that has been written by him and tried to imitate a story of Pirandello.

After all, is 4chan.

I have a copy of Name of the Rose but found out shortly after purchasing that Eco was an atheist. Is it still worth reading?
