>> No.479186

He won a nobel prize in literature in 1998.

>> No.479204

Sometimes I wonder if modern classic literature is just a game who can suck the most influential dick, or if some council of elders are throwing at a dartboard cluttered with tacked on names of countries that haven't been broadly publicized through the world of writing yet.

>Implying Portuguese literature isn't read all over the world. ( See: Camoens, Fernando Pessoa, Saramago, etc)

>> No.479211

>>479186

so? check who else won it too
(all feminists and communists in recent years)

>>479204

when it comes to the nobel, it is

well, i'm from brazil, and i read him in portuguese
he's quite good, but he lets his commie views get in the way.
he's always in brazil talking shit about capitalism. he is the portuguese noam chomsky (that can write)

Oh boo-hoo! I was just stating a fact. God, you brazilians are such butthurt faggots.

>> No.479225

>>479217

i'm not butthurt
nobel prize of literature is almost as irrelevant as the peace prize.

i mean, they prefer to give it to people that are worse writers, but activists of some shit.

>> No.479231

>>479225

Did I even express my opinion about the nobel prize? No, no I did not.

>> No.479240

>>479231

if you didn't, then i'm not allowed to? is that it?
if it is, just explain, next time i won't
i just assumed that i could comment, you know.

And she went to the counter after getting there she found herself ordering a drink the drink was cool and refreshing but it caused her to think back unto her previous joy that joy being the joy of a woman who is unfettered by the typical desire that befalls a beautiful person she was not concerned with being objectified the drink itself was a lightly-tinged green carbonated ordeal the bars lights pleasing and not without a certain kind of pleasure the time she had spent as a dancer enlightened the lives of her viewers and she had no qualms about leaving the stage now as age began to take it's toll on her the toll being the inevitable sag of the skin the day that starts earlier and ends later.

Every time I thought about moving the points of the narrative closer together, or ending a sentence, I didn't. This is how you write like Saramago.

see? You made it into an imaginary pissing contest.

>> No.479475

I'm sure Saramago would come and put all your discussion in a single paragraph.
