I don't browse this board often but I am interested to see what /lit/ thinks of post-colonialism.

And also what is /lit/'s favourite post-colonial novel?

Western civilization is a waxing and waning. When he turn to the Gods (Greek/Rome/Renaissance/Enlightenment), we wax, when we get "bored" we turn to false Gods (Christianity, Orientalism, Gangstaism, Islam, etc.) and extreme decadence and asceticism (make no mistake, these two tendencies arise around the same time).
