Paulo Coelho that faggot
Machado de Assis, not that he is underrated, but he is the greatest Brazilian author in my opinion.
Parker Murphy
I like him

t. Poland here, I will never forget this
also:
overrated: Olga Tokarczuk
underrated: Jerzy Krzysztoń
Luis Rodriguez
Germany
Dietmar Dath that pretentious boring shit - or Charlotte Roche that vapid writer - or Helene Hegemann, 14 year old hyped up copy-pasted trash, essentially all 'new' German literature.
underrated: Walter Moers. He's written off as a fantasy writer for kids but he's very intertextual, lots of links to German classic literature, way less pretentious than the average German writer. Perhaps too commercially successful for the feuilleton to like him.
Isaiah Rodriguez
what about Christa Wolf?
Caleb Ross
Hungary
I don't know who could be overrated.
Karinthy Frigyes or Weöres Sándor. They both get played down because one wrote "le funny parody" and the other wrote "le kid poem".

>Who is the most overrated author?
Petrarch.
He was a contrarian faggot who thought Dante was a simpleton and who despised the only writings that make him relevant today.
He also almost shamed Bocaccio into burning the Decameron, so there is that.
>Who is the most underrated?
D'Annunzio.
He's mostly regarded as a meme, but people seem to forget that behind his daredevil actions he has surprisingly sweet poetry.
Chase Perez
same with Julian Tuwim in Poland.
He wrote a poem called "Bambo the black child"
en.wikipedia.org
and
1. Everyone forgets his other poems because herp derp he's a child author exclusively. (who cares his language level is the highest in PL history)
2. Today SJWs consider his poem racist and don't like him.
Jaxon Hernandez
Not sure yet, I've only read a few of her poems
Seems to be very much steeped in GDR history and atmosphere of the time so probablydidn't age well
James Lee
>Petrarca
is it true that marquis de Sade is a descendant of one of Petrarca's women, Laura?
