I'd argue Spinoza, Nescio is the BEST writer of the Netherlands...but I've only seen a handful of translations (which all seem to miss the mark).

I wonder if the only way to properly translate him is to utilize a James Joycean Irish for the intricate slang.

Depends on which group you ask I guess; I think Heidegger is more widely known in Japan than Goethe; I can imagine that American youth is more fimiliar with Hesse than Goethe... though overall, Goethe might be right.

>Your favorite author from your country
All German language authors I really like are not German (Robert Walser, Kafka, Thomas Bernhard etc.); but to answer the question, it might be Günter Grass or Nietzsche actually.

virai, jums reikėtų praplėsti lietuvių literatūros žinias, patikėkit manim, Škėma visai pervertinamas (nes įeina į mokyklinį kursą), yra žiauriai gerų 20 a. galo rašytojų, pvz. Kajokas, Kunčinas, Ivanauskaitė etc.

You´re weird, Germannon, I´m a Czech and while Kafka was born in Prague , so he was ethnically Czech (putting aside that he was a Jew) but I´ and a lot of other people, consider him a German writer because he wrote near-exclusively in German.

No, you're weird for thinking the language an author writes in is more important than their place of birth in determining their nationality. By your logic, Samuel Beckett is both English and French, when he was actually Irish.

Sorry, it is just very odd to me to think of Kafka as anything other than German, for some resason. It´s probably because Czech lands were a part the Habsburg monachy back when he was born, and we hated them because they tried to germanize our culture and supress or language,.
German was the main languafe of the monarchy so some of us just don´t think of Kafka as 'our,' Czech writer. I think it is a matter of national pride in some way.
