because poorfag countries have centuries of colonization, civil war and dictatorships while "first world countries" are still in shock for discovering that they are not the center of the universe kek.
Fuck both but poorfags aren't whiny bitches at least.

No it's not. There is a board dedicated to discussion of anime, manga, and all things related. It's called /a/. Please go back there.

> Historical fiction
Historical fiction is the best literary genre because:
A) You already know what happens, spoilers don't matter at all. You could spend hours researching the events and the novel would still have aesthetical relevance.
B) Not even the political aspects are detrimental to it even though political fiction is probably the lowest of the genres. Has all the intrigue of political fiction and none of it's tasteless qualities.
C) Society is understood in it's complexity, randomness and particularities, making the moral values presented in the story as both singular and universal.
Thoughts or criticisms?

That just implies that his dad was a massive upper middle class cuckservative and the pagan and reactionary but is his reaction to reject his dads faggotry. I’m the same way.

Anyway if his dad were a Jew he would be a Jew not an evangelical Christian.

How do I become more articulate? In writing and in speech.

I speak 3 languages so sometimes I resort to the other language when I'm missing a word in the language I'm speaking and its really annoying

Looking to get into the lesser known novels of this type. So far I have read As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom!, Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist As A Young Man, To the Lighthouse (didn't really like Woolf), The Great Gatsby, The Sun Also Rises, The Trial, The Castle, Lolita, Pale Fire (is Nabokov modernist or post-modernist?), and Beckett's trilogy.

Of those, I think Faulkner, Joyce, and Kafka were my favorites. I liked Nabokov but at the same time felt something severe was lacking.

Is Under the Volcano a good one? What about The Magic Mountain? Where should I go from here?

Point of these threads is to spark interest of people that haven't read this obscure pamphlets by presenting and defending their main points. Judging by your inability to defend it, it's clear that the book is worthless trash, confirming my prejudice that mutt philosophy is midwit-tier at best.
