sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a /lit/ version of this picture?

>> No.438549

No, and we don't want one. Go and find something to read on your own.

I didn't include Paz because he's primarily a poet, and lists like this are mostly for people who don't speak Spanish. And poetry in translation sucks.

Here is a list that generally doesn't suck and that you can actually use to call yourself an elitist: http://www.interleaves.org/~rteeter/grtbloom.html

Why are Cory Doctorow and Grant Morrison on the same list as Nabokov and Gogol.

Dean Koontz?
David Foster Wallace?

You must think everything is good - it's like the literary equivalent of being tone-deaf.

The picture is from the /lit/-roulette thread, which included a zip file with all the stories in the picture. That's why the covers are in a grid with numbers.

This is not the /lit/-canon.

I always assumed this pic was a joke on /mu/, not something people actually take seriously. I was around when it was first put together, but I haven't been on /mu/ much lately. Is this seriously used as a "guide" to music now?

Nabokov's Invitation is a awkward attempt at being Kafka imho, delete it. Replace the doctor's notebooks with any other Bulgakov, they're pulp; add Kharms; add Galych; add Sasha Shvarts; add Ilf and Petrov.

I can't believe you've just included a single book of Borges and Cortazar and not a single book of Bioy Casares.

>> No.438957

>>438937
There was a thread creating this and no one in it had read any Spanish-language literature except Don Quixote, Neruda, and Marquez. Everyone just guessed that Borges was important but didn't know exactly what to include. Please give as many suggestions as you can.

Blow-up and Other Stories by Cortazar
The Aleph, not the short story but the book named after it, by Borges
Selected Stories unfortunately this is the only thing I find translated to english by Bioy.
